Lets say you are a new GM, would the prospect of coming to a team full of young talent, $65 million in cap space, and no bad contracts.

Weaver has positioned this team for something big this offseason.

We may be a shit team but at least we are positioned with options for the future.

    I know I’m going to get down-voted all to hell here but I think your position isn’t as good as you’re making it out to be.

    1. Yes, there is a lot of young talent, but there’s no fit. None of the young talent can shoot, and I include Cade there (maybe unjustly) as he’s only hitting 30% of his 3’s. Duran and Ausar can’t hit a 3 consistently, leaving what, Stewart and Ivey? They might be able to, but there’s still going to be spacing problems.
    2. If the young core is that good, why would we be firing Weaver? We’d be firing Weaver because the young core isn’t as good as it should be. If you don’t believe me, then…
    3. The Pistons stink record wise. I won’t go into the Pistons futility, there are a dozen other posts that cover that topic, but there is a reason the Pistons are dead last once again.

    That said…

    I think if a new GM came in, I would expect them to do a complete teardown. Keep one, maybe 2 pieces tops, and sell the rest for parts and rebuild. There’s also the possibility the GM might try a process 76ers where they try to build a championship team around Cade, but so far I don’t think he’s shown he’s that guy. He might be, and I hope to hell be does get there, but right now I don’t think he is.

    Just my thoughts.
