Seriously. I just had flashbacks to being in the jungle in Nam

Completely agree

Steve Blake next please

My only critique is that there’s a hard 0% chance OG signs here. What we need to do is use our cap space to facilitate a S&T to land talent.

For example, say Boston/Minnesota flame out and KAT or Jaylen Brown are available. You’d simply S&T both Siakam and OG to land one of those guys and ship them to where they can compete for a title and actually want to play.

I’d try and make a move at the deadline for Jerami Grant. People will laugh, but he’s on a 5 year deal for 160 that they only offered him to entice Dame to stay. He was also only sold for a 2025 Milwaukee first two year ago, so he can’t be that expensive. Giving them Harris/Killian and some seconds probably gets it done.

Trade away Bojan for 2nds or maybe package Bojan and some 2nds to the Knicks to get our heavily protected first back.

Assuming we make the move for Jerami at the deadline, we’ll probably have a top 5 pick and only 50 mill in cap space as opposed to 81.

I’d use that 50 to sign and trade Siakam and Gary Trent to the TWolves for KAT.

Use the pick to take BPA or trade it for another young veteran.

Cade/Ivey/Ausar/Grant/KAT

with top 5 pick/Duren/Stew/Sasser/Livers off the bench. To me, this is how you’d use our resources this off-season to acquire top talent (through trades, not FA signings) to a team like Detroit.

It’s literally because Bey and Stew were all-rookie and then we won the draft lotto

Yes, I would throw a max at him. He’s young enough to fit with our timeline and core. He provides elite perimeter defense and near 40% 3 point shooter. He’s athletic, and probably has some untapped offensive potential. Absolutely.

We need to start trying to win games.

I can see why Bagley was out in a close game for his defense. But Livers over Burks makes no sense to me. Why not have your vet in late?

We don’t know how to win

How is that not a foul?

No surprise that our offense is better when Killian has only been on the floor 7 minutes

My optimistic but realistic prediction:

Detroit (8-2) -> (13-4)

Packers (4-6) - W

@ Saints (5-5) - W

@ Bears (3-8) - W

Broncos (4-5) - W

@ Vikings (6-4) - L

@ Cowboys (6-4) - L

Vikings (6-4) - W

Vikings (6-4) -> (10-7)

@ Broncos (4-5) tonight - L

Bears (3-8) - W

BYE

@ Raiders (5-6) - W

@ Bengals (5-5) - L

Lions (8-2) - W

Packers (4-6) - W

@ Lions (8-2) - L

Pig Sooie!

Bojan isn’t worth a first. Two years ago that’s what the Jazz were asking for and they got Kelly Olynyk instead. Surely two years later at the age of 34 he would not warrant a first

We really need to get Cade a legitimate 2nd option

We looked like a championship team in those last 5 minutes holy shit

The difference between Casey and Monty is insane. This team looks so much more inspired on the defensive end

which one? Streameast doesn’t work for me anymore

So I guess we’ll see the Cade/Ivey/Ausar/Stew/Duren lineup. What’s crazy about it is that they’d be a relatively young college team. 21/21/20/21/19 as the ages… wild
