i think it would be disingenuous to suggest any player makes "big improvements" in offseason.

I am excited about Isaiah Joe. But there is a voice in my head that hopes this isn’t another Jodie Meeks situation. If you know you know.

I am a bit worried if Kevin Heurter will make the rotation to play meaningful minutes.

I am worried about Pistons cleaning the glass and protecting it. As well as secondary playmaking. I don’t think the abundance of shooting is going to help. The Bucks had a lot of shooting around Giannis last year but a lack of playmaking Ausar not only needs to be a playmaker. He needs to score

Ron got to not force it.

I like it. Glow up. Just hope he gets buckets

Would love to see Ebuka get runs. And Ausar and Ron lineups

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
The lack of playmaking outside of Cade is probably the weakest and most worrisome roster issue.

Wanted to see a more aggressive Kevin Huerter.

Sure doesn’t feel like the floor has stretched that much.

Very much. Not pretty

Paul reed defense presence is not super effective

Ron Holland can’t get into foul trouble this year like last.

Pistons are pretty rusty

Would love to see some pick and roll or pick and pop.

Why does this feel like he isn’t completely in shape.

I like to pretend they still are for fun.

I just want to see a real genuine S&T offer for Duren. Cause i gotta know what the Pistons are actually turning down. Of course I wouldn't be moved by any 2030 or 2031 first round picks.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
i hope he takes a LOT of things seriously. face-up post up shots, free throws, defense, blocking shots. Being careful with his bag.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
i just want some good vibes. but i feel like either way people are gonna be mad a Duren/Langdon for whatever happens. It is a more competitive conference afterall.

I wonder how Josh Hart feels cause he is apparently pro prayer in school

Yes every city jersey this year a “throwback” to another city jersey that was considered popular years back in the Nike era

In a way…. I think sometimes people double down when they know they are wrong cause they want to outrun consequences.

They lost Ayo for nothing.

Bears are very good. I hate it. But the offense is fantastic. Eagles…. No aura.

Pistons fans gonna white knuckle this season.

I don’t love comparing him to Dennis. Idk.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
I don’t blame him. I just feel it.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
I think it is a sunk cost problem. Duren know he gets major blame for the playoffs loss. His big moment in national spotlight focused on historically bad performance on court with a side of jokes about Angel Reese. And now, he is the villain. Fans gonna boo him. His image has been trashed

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
I still feel very bad with how little minutes and opportunities Ron had in the playoffs. I think Ron probably does too

Not trying to read into it. But Cade seems a bit tightly wound with these questions about Duren. His eye contact is intense.

This throws cold water on any trade for Zion.

Damn Clippers

Duren could have requested a trade or just say he wants to leave. Dude is being a such a punk. And I don’t know who is in his ear but I don’t respect him for this.

Pistons' Jalen Duren makes stance on $200M offer clear with final training camp decision | Sporting News
The Detroit Pistons and Jalen Duren have been at a halt this entire summer on a deal. With training camp starting this week, there is more added to the saga.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
It is time to trade Duren. Duren simply is a punk for not requesting a sign and trade.

Weird that Sabonis fan block me on here under the most minimal amount of push back. Haha You don’t have to engage but to block me is weird. You commented on my post. I barely said anything.

I think it is also fair to say that my OP is specifically relevant to the current list. I don’t care about 3 years ago.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
I don’t think you made a convincing argument that Sabonis is a good defensive center. Offer me an argument why I should consider Sabonis as a plus defender amongst centers. He is a below average pick and roll defense and rim protection and terrible at closing on the line drive.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
I would put that on Mike Brown and the fact they went from having basically no center to a center.

I am not saying everyone should do what Wemby and Brunson did. But life is much better when you are a fan favorite vs being booed and mocked.

I don’t want to pretend to know Game Theory economics. But I believe that the price of a player’s reputation and winning is often disregarded for the bag. There is a good argument that it is better to take team friendly deal to be a major piece on a winning team that bodes well for financial success

You know it is bad because the Pistons haven’t signed any notable 10A contracts to guys to compete in training camp.

Let Curry be a warrior for life. His family and business and brand is being a Warrior. Dude doesn’t add more to his legacy or wealth by going to any other team to win a ring

My biggest fear is that when Duren gets a bag, it is gonna be a matter of time until he gets some baby mamas trouble with some models that are 10 years older than him. The dude has been getting bad advice, so he is vulnerable to the gold diggers.

Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
Jalen Duren is going to fuck this up and the Pistons gonna sink this season with or without him. Dude could have been a star. But now he will be infamous
010
Based Pistons (he/him) @basedpistons.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Issue is he is going to get booed. And it is already and will be a distraction unless he plays out of his mind next year and signs a deal. At this point I would take Zion and Yvis Missi just until we update center.
