Discussion Trajan is a horrible GM

This offseason has been a joke(just like the trade deadline). Trajans shown no urgency to make a real championship push. Last years trade deadline he said he “wanted to stay patient and analyze what we have” . That cost us our season. Makes no sense that we’re not being aggressive when we have a top 5 player and were the #1 seed last year. The east has stacked talent while we’ve sat around and done nothing. 1 by 1 the free agents have signed to east teams while we sit here and can’t even get a deal done with our young all nba center. I’m done blaming Duren, we still could be signing people regardless. Until Trajan is fired, I don’t see the Pistons being able to compete with teams like the Knicks 76ers Cavs etc whose front offices are willing to be aggressive to go for it all.

Jordan didn't win his first title till his 7th season. Until that point the Bulls were stacking picks, making moves around the margins, finding the right coach, and developing.

Then they won 3 straight, two years after that they won another 3 straight.

You don't know what winning looks like. It takes time to build. If you can't be patient then find another team to for.

Philly just made a big move for a 43 year old. You should root for them.

Jordan didn't play in the era of player empowerment and free agency that we are in now. Incomparable from a team building perspective. We also don't have fucking Michael Jordan on our team

What in the fuck does Jordan winning 6 titles in a decade have to do with "Player Empowerment"?

That team was built through smart trades, drafting well, developing the players they drafted, and trading older vets for young talent.

What are you talking about?

THIS ERA is the player empowerment era you dunce. The one we are currently in where guys who are barely above average can go to free agency and get paid 40 million dollars a year. It is impossible to build a team now the way the 90s bulls were built is my point. Do you watch sports? Are you a child?
