Everyone calling for a trade or firing etc…What is something that can be done to reasonably make this team better in the near future?
The value of our guys are at a low. The pieces we have that are expiring are not even playing, hence their value to anyone looking to gain a piece for a run is not high. While in the meantime the guys were probably looking to move like Bogey, Burks, Monte are kind of the guys we need here to stabilize the young roster.
I know we can say trade Wiseman, Bagley or Hayes but in reality what does that even get you back.
Until we get that first round pick that New York Knicks own sorted out, we’re essentially strapped to even move picks.
Trigger Troy had tied himself into a knot.
That’s the funny thing; there isn’t a clean cut solution when essentially everything is failing at a systematic level. In other walks of life, you say your goodbyes and cut ties. A human body ran like the Pistons would be dead. A business would be bankrupt.
The roster is a mess of young guys who can’t shoot and vets that are in decline.
Firing Weaver doesn’t change the games outcome in a discernible way this season. Blowing up the roster would also incur a lot of blow back and shaming from the media and fans. Firing Williams 17 games into his 5 or 6 year contract would also look rash and Gores and the FO would look incompetent for spending several months on the coaching search just to pull the cord after a horrible first month.
I’m not pleading patience or that better days are ahead if you just give them time. I’d say it’s most likely not. But I do not see a pathway in-season to making wide spread changes unless they want to start shipping out their young guys for middling vets that at least can play offense and defense.
