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 has done his job. He has drafted talent. He has made deals to draft more first rounders. He has picked for talent and not fit. That is what you do in a rebuild. Did have misses? Of course. Do we have a young team full of talented players that don’t fit? Yes.

    They are trade pieces. But they have not reached their full trade value yet. And we are not going to get all-stars for these players. We have to keep grinding and developing so that these young dudes find their game.

    Once they get over a hump, if they do, then we can start attracting all star talent for gaps and we can start drafting for fit. Ideally, some of the guys we already have develop into all-stars first.

    If you think we were going to be contending this year you didn’t know anything. Granted the team is vastly underperforming. But Weaver definitely should not be fired for doing what he should be doing.

    That being said, he isn’t done. He does need to start making moves to build on the pieces that are showing promise. But again, who are we actually doing to attract to Detroit? The last thing I want him to do is to make a panic trade that sets us back another five years.
