While watching another major blowout, I was thinking of how the Pistons could fix this situation besides just “firing everyone” (which is something I also want to do).

The obvious move is to make a trade. But then I look at the roster. Cade, Asuar and Duren have clear value. Besides that, who has enough value to get a star or someone that will make this team immediately better?

Besides the three I mentioned, the most valuable asset the Pistons have is this years’ 1st. Nobody will give you value for Killian. Nobody wants Bagley with that contract. Wiseman doesn’t even deserve a 2nd round pick. Bogey will get you, at best, a late 1st round pick, but another young player/project is not what this team needs. We need proven players and adults.

The real answer is: there’s nobody besides trading the players we tanked for. And that’s why Troy Weaver absolutely fucking sucks at his job.

We’re stuck in mediocrity and just have to hold onto hope that a hopeless situation works out.
