re: Fun Brandon Ingram stat

A team with Ingram, Barnes, Quickley is going to be a top 4 seed whereas a team with Ingram, McCullum, Zion, Murphy, Herb, Jonas V as its core couldn’t break out of the play-in.
If it wasn’t for Willie 4th quarter classics we would have been a top 4 50+ win team in 23/24.

Exactly this!
And yet they found a way to not give up and really pushed it to the end (until Fontecchio 3). So inwould say plenty of positives from last night. Hopefully it's clear to JD that we need another center.

Refs let them know quick they were doing what they wanted.
I loved how quickly JB got to the officials, but they simply didn’t give a frick. Such a FTs disparity against the home team who is constantly attacking the rim, while the other team shoots 3s all the time, was ridiculous.

It's quite obvious they gave up because of the officiating and are not willing even to argue with the refs

How is it possible to shoot 34 to 18 3s and at the same time to have15 to 8 FTs?

Does anyone else feels that Fears has actually gotten worse
He had very stupid turnovers/fouls and 2 awful 3point misses at the end of 3rd & beginning of 4th which almost killed our momentum.
But he is 19 years old and played his 53rd game, so this is to be expected.

Perhaps I've misunderstood you, but your comment kind of suggested that.

We let JV go for nothing, and then watched the Wizards trade him for 2 2nds 6 months after signing him.

Exactly!!!

shut up about chances to select another Jose or Naji with some worthless 2nds. At no point has anyone ever coveted a late 2nd round pick. They are worthless.
You kind of contradict yourself with the Jokic comment.
And i deliberately mentioned the undrafted part of Jose/Naji to show you that it's possible to find players with such late picks.

Every fan wants that but the reality is that we have a cheap owner, therefore the trade made sense.

Jose was never eating into Fears minutes,
Last few weeks he was, JP has only DNPs.
And Jose is 27, we have to start a rebuild, so he is nowhere near DQ/Fears timeline.
Of course if the reports are true and Joe thinks we might be competitive next year and don't make further trades in the summer, that's another topic.

So you are saying that JV for two seconds (one of them is '28 Nuggets) is a great trade, but similar return for undrafted player is nothing....
And you prefer to let him go as Naji (another undrafted player) then having two chances to select another Jose/Naji?
If they know that he will opt out and they won't pay him (cause we never do) it's exactly what they should have done. And they did it right for him as well. Perhaps they could have gotten two better picks, but he deserves to go to a contender and even better that it's NYK.
Now they will have to play more Fears (hopefully) and can sign Bryce.

Look up the name, Killian Hayes, and ask Piston Fans if Weaver can identify talent. Weaver selected him over the likes of:
Tyrese Halliburton
Deni Advija
Tyrese Maxie
Payton Pritchard
...and others including Saddiq Bey
Like many other GMs.
Give me a person who is nailing their draft picks every year. At least Weaver has more hits than misses.
And again, don't mix the negotiations skills (which apparently sucks) with the scouting itself.

How in tf is Zubac worth 2 1sts and a good young player? What am I missing here? He’s like the most average center of all time.
He is 2nd team All-Defensive and Harden unlocked him offensively last few years. And there is no better PG to play with than Haliburton.
Also they have 50% chance to land top 4 this year, so why they should care about 2029/31 picks if they have realistic shot for next 3-4 years.
And they didn't want to pay Mathurin.

2 chances to replace a pretty good bench player? Those two chances will be in the late 2nd. Tell me how confident you are in those chances.
I have way more confidence in that then any trade they would have done for Zion, Herb, Trey at the deadline. Hopefully in the summer teams like LAL and GSW will come with better proposals for Herb and Trey, ones they can't refuse and we will start the rebuild (and let Zion go for couple of seconds).

I can't buy that. Queen will never be worth two lottery picks; never
What does the trade have in common with the proper scounting and drafting? Apparently they suck in negotiations, but not in identifying talent.

Acting like Jose was going to leave is such a weak frick defeatist attitude. Dude loves it here. Hes fricking loyal
That's true, but he also has family to feed.
And everyone knew NYK are interested in him, so tell me you are certain he wasn't going to decline the option?
quote:
Of all the trades to not make this was the one to not fricking make
Realistically what you have expect for him? A first? If he was under contract for couple more years, perhaps.
quote:
Remind me why that matters?
Cause saying that getting two 2nds for undrafted player, who even though is fun to watch has his limits, is "wicked awesome" or "trash" return is nonsense. It was clear that we have to trade him and now we have two chances to replace him with cheaper and taller player, who will fit DQ and Fears timeline.
And again, he had a player option, which most likely would have declined, so you wanna lose him like Naji?
Everyone is complaining that we have to do something and now complaining that we did it.
Poole and Murray can't be traded now unless we attach picks (probably firsts).
Noone wants Ja, obviously the interest for Zion is even less.
Teams wanting Herb or Trey will have more picks available in the summer.
Only realistic options were Jose and Missi. Bey is with too good of contract to trade him for anything less than a top 20 pick this year or couple of firsts in the future.

Oh yeah 2 2nds and dalen fricking terry are wicked awesome assets bro.
Remind me where was Jose drafted?
Drafting is perhaps the only good quality of our management so getting 2 seconds and an expiring contract is not a bad move.
Also as others mentioned we will need picks to offload Poole next season and most probably he would have declined the option and asked for a new contract in the summer.
And this is a fricking awesome trade for one of the most beloved players and he deserves it.
re: You can dump Murray and Poole but it costs a lottery protected 1st or Missi
Posted by BGpels on 2/1/26 at 2:17 am to Colonel Flagg
Poole is not a problem, since he expires next year and should be easier to trade and times perfectly for extending Bey and Herb's new contract.
Murray, if he still doesn't want to play and we have to send picks/Missi, just keep him and let him rot on the bench for another year too, so let's see who will give him money in 2027.... someone needs to set an example for Klutch players.
If we resign Bryce and somehow decides to keep Looney (8mil team option) we will still be 9-10 mil under the 1st apron next year (so we can extend Jose and Karlo too).

Trey saved his 3pt makes for this game! Just you wait
Or he doesn't want to be traded, so trying to kill any interest.
And what exactly you will do with Poole's money next year? Attract free agent?
It will be unbelievably stupid to attach Missi to him. He is only 21, he is cheap and will be RFA only in 2028, not to mention that in the last month he improved significantly. So in a year, with proper coaching, he might be the big we need next to DQ.
Otherwise we will have to hope to select a better center in 2027, who will need 2-3 years to develop and by the time he does that, DQ and Fears might have seen enough from the Pels.

We all know he sucked his later years in Detroit and there is a big chance he won't be better here, but we have to judge him on what he will do next with the trades and the coach hire.

Suns already a playoff team again after their rebuild.
Perhaps because they have a star who can close out games and is playing regularly.
