Detroit Pistons

Detroit still hasn't been 100% healthy. But if Cade comes back and no one gets hurt, they will be. Monte Morris is a hometown kid but didn't play his first game until yesterday. I was a big fan of the trade last year but it sucked with the constant delays, setbacks, etc.... I actually like the Muscala (and Gallinari) trade, even though I don't know about receiving expiring contracts. I don't like free agency, because Detroit couldn't sign good free agents even when they were winning titles. And the GM Troy Weaver has been a horrible drafter, and I imagine any guy who can get the Max will go to any other team. One with no income tax, better weather, better city, better win column, etc. There's been rumors for months regarding a Ivey for LaVine trade and although I'm not a big fan of Zach, at least I know what he's going to give, and a new team might help. Maybe not, but he's better than Ivey. I have never been a fan of "potential". There are always guys who can play now. I wanted Haliburton, but Weaver's first pick at #7 got Killian Hayes, and he's the worst guard on the team, but he's been given every opportunity (ego?).. Although I remember fellow Pistons fan saying, "High floor, low ceiling"... Yeah.... Or ANY guys Miami drafts. 4-yr college players are hardly taken, but Miami gets him in the latter half of the 1st round. My first requirement is defense, and then filter out other things.
