    100%. Were winning despite that starting lineup right now. They are a net negative because of the lack of spacing. Cade has no room to operate because they can cheat off of pretty much everyone. Killian will move to the bench and probably become more of a situational defensive sub or someone that fills in when guys are resting/in foul trouble/injured (once Monte is back too).

    We’ll take a slight defensive hit but if we can stop turning the ball over every other play, that will probably offset the defensive drop.

    I wouldn’t expect it to be something where he gets cleared to play and immediately starts. Rather a ramp up and then dependent on how he’s playing on the defensive end maybe he replaces Killian as a starter. If we’re winning games though, I wouldn’t expect big changes to the rotation though.

    I’m going to go out on a limb and say he’s not coming back. The Pistons hold him out, make sure he’s OK, makes sure he doesn’t get injured, then trade him in early Dec or something for some assets, telling other teams behind the scenes that he’s fine, they were just keeping him on ice to make sure he’s OK for a playoff run.

    I say this positively too: my thinking is A) the Pistons know they have the nucleus of a team, so they want to play them, and B) they do right by Bojan and trade him to a contender in what might be his last year for a shot at the title.
