Stewart only shows up in basketball clips (nationally) when Lebrons involved.

IMO he should be fired. My reasoning os because I do NOT want him making even worse moves before the trade deadline to mess this team and their future up even more than he already has. I don’t believe it will happen, GM is isolated an end of season thing but his direction is not a direction I want them to go in. (Don’t let my name on here fool you I’m a fan of a great GM so also an these r fan but live in the mitten and always pistons first.)

Context matters. He wasn’t the 12th pick in his draft, he was the first. It’s not his fault he was taken 1st but much more is expected of apparently the best player in college that year.

How can you ask this? I’m not being disrespectful, I’m legitimately asking you one question? What more do you need to see from him to know who he is? He’s played plenty of games, it’s not like when he was on GS and that excuse could be made.

Imagine believing Utah would trade a pick they just took less than 20 games in the season. Cmon

I thought you meant people were calling them the best 5 alive, as in ever. My mistake. Love the pistons but it’s also important to remember how clutch Okur, Mike James and others played in that title.

Can you please provide any non Detroit media claiming they were the best five?

Please just LOOK at the forum. Do you think you’re the first person to post this? You’re not even the first TODAY

Already and easily? One is a rookie and one is beginning their second year of experience. I love ALL of them but the NBA is littered with guys looking real good early, who then get paid and look worse, or those who just fall off the map completely. It’s not the norm but maybe recognize how hard it is to be on the ALL-NBA teams

Pistons fan all my life (42 years) but follow OKC because their GM Sam Presti is a genius. The best part of joining this group is that Chicago is in the East. You can still root for both and it’s unlikely they ever see each other in the NBA Finals, same with the Pistons.

Nobody wants that contract for his production. You’re gonna have to give a pick away in order to get the cap off the books. I doubt that happens but it’s more likely that way then receiving picks for him.

If you want to know just try looking in the sub first. There’s about 3 posts everyday on him here for the last week. Plenty of comments to read there. I want him here

We need to talk about Kevin…and Poku

Might be the way players see things in practice but in real life Giddey would be wrong there.

Yeah those could be reasons. I’d say however, that Lindy is not the shooter that most fans seem to think he is. We often think he’s a shooter because all we usually have him do is shoot threes but he doesn’t shoot some % that is anything that good. Root for him but it was weird to do that and it’s ok to question it because I don’t think we’ve ever seen something like that before.

In a Brad spectrum everything you said made sense and I agree with. In context, however, it was absolutely valid to at least question why Lindy played 19 minutes and Wiggins was a DNP.

Less than 10 games, be realistic. I hope Cason is incredible but it’s also important to know that coaches haven’t had time to adjust to how he plays yet either which could effect his numbers. Same reason to be happy about Chet but to give it all some time.

There are plenty of 22 year olds doing well in this league. He was not only selected in the first round but traded down to get. Quentin Johnson for LAC and JSN for SEA where’re first round picks this year, neither have been very productive 10 games in, do you think that chargers and Seahawks radio spend time discussing their lack of production? Of coarse they do. Go to their Reddit pages and see fans questioning those players of their GM. Even if I was the biggest Jamo fan I would still understand why he’s discussed. It gets people emotional one way or the other which creates phone calls and viewers which generates money for the company. By the same token, IF he ever becomes a good player than you and anyone else can call into the show and give Valenti crap about how wrong Mike was. This week he said he’s just done expecting things from him, so maybe that will diminish some of the talk. If you listen to national tv/radio anytime Jamo is brought up it almost always is discussed that he isn’t seeing the field or performing well. Whether that’s fantasy football talk or breaking down the actual games it’s not only here in Detroit. If the bears drafted him and this was his output so far you’d likely be glad to see his lack of production and calling him a bust. Maybe he won’t be a bust, but whenever you take a first round pick you expect them tondo more than he has. (Up to this point) I hope he has a great game today and you can write in here after the game how awesome be was. Normally a person doesn’t like to be wrong, in this case, I would. Go lions!

I’m not sure when Pistons fans decided to praise a PF who scores 12 points and 7.5 rebounds in a league that takes more shots then ever before…but I don’t agree

I’m not a fan of Hayes but it’s less than 10 games in, maybe, just maybe, we remember that (sometimes) coaches and GM discuss things together. Maybe Killian is playing more in the hopes that they could get something in a trade package. Not necessarily a 1-1 trade but Hayes and Bo in a package or something. I’m not saying it’s happening but why boo a new coach with a ton of injuries and young players less than 10 games in? Nobody will be joining you with those boo’s
