Right?? What a stupid ass comment that gets thrown around constantly. Does he think the players can just grind a millions 3s in practice and that solves the problem? Its obviously deeper than that. All of those players can drain a 3. Its about lack of confidence, pressure, faith-- intangibles that I hoped Monty would bring. Unfortunately so far, he hasnt 😞
After deciding to watch every pistons game like exactly 5 years ago here’s my take: Troy weaver drafted fine, aside from killian. Saddiq bey and Stewart were solid pickps with role player potential (which I still believe). They purposely tanked that year (which is fine) and players developed. Next year they get CADE 🥹 and naturally, we think we’ll take a huge leap (which in hindsight was misguided). By the end of the season, we were disappointed but understood that another high draft pick is smart in the long run. This is where we took the wrong turn. Instead of moving into competitive growth mode, win some games-- we decided to trade Jerami Grant (fine) retain Dwane Casey, and sign Bojan (just enough to PRETEND we want to be competitive). Well, Cade got hurt, the team struggled again (which they would’ve with Cade anyways) and I’m sure it hurt their confidence (even though they were setup to lose). Finally, this year, its the year to ACTUALLY make a leap! Cade is back, Ivey and Duren have entered the fray, and we got cap space! Let’s surround them with a couple talented veterans, eh?! Nah. Joe harris. Monte Morris. But hey, if everyone’s healthy, that should give cade and ivey and duren enough veteran pressence to win some games and build aome confidence as the season goes on! Nah-- bojan, monte, joe hurt. Now they will endure ANOTHER losing season and have another shot at it next year after another 65 losses straight to the face of these young and impressionable kids. Weaver will prolly make an ill-advised signing (finally) to save his job, and depending who he gets, they might have a shot next year. But truly, this might be another blow-it up situstion here soon with the kids’ rookie contract running out 🤷♂️ thanks for reading lmao this my therapy
