Is it not safe to say a change is overdue? This isn’t my opinion on what should happen, but I see Weaver getting fired if nothing happens. With the unlikely chance we get a quality free agent this summer, it seems like our future is going to depend on a trade that we see in the next two months. That is a scary ass spot to be in.
Now if he pulls the trigger on a trade, and it ends up sucking……… Going to be a rough time for a Pistons fan.
Who gets traded? I see the writing on the wall, I think one of our young guys gets dealt if we go for anybody significant. Probably Bojan or Burks as well. Weaver has a VERY consequential month in front of him and he cannot afford to fuck it up.
Weaver’s job is probably secure because he’s a figure head doing a bad job on a “first time GM” salary, while Arn Tellem is doing a worse job behind the scenes. No real GM of stature and competence is going to let Tellem puppeteer things while the owner doesn’t give a shit in LA. Besides that, tickets will still sell, leading me to believe Gores (the root of the problem) will do jack shit. Just have to hope Troy “um, uhh” Weaver doesn’t do anymore dumb shit.
Only rational thing I can think of is let Ivey, Cade, Ausar and Duren grow together, hope Cade’s conditioning, ball handling and decision making gets better and pray Monty Williams doesn’t continue to be a disaster. We wasted preseason and 13 games not letting Cade and Ivey mesh, now we’re using real games like it’s preseason. It is what it is.
Ivey needs to be the main ball handler or at least share responsibilities. All that “positionless basketball” talk was horse shit if they’re going to pigeon hold Cade to doing everything while he’s clearly not ready for that responsibility.
Easiest fix of all is get Duren some ankle braces for Christmas and burn all his KD’s and Kyrie’s THAT HE’S STILL WEARING. Grow up bro, you’re not a guard or a 7ft 210 lb guard-like sniper. All high tops are not created equal.
