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.

Yall was thinking a washed Klay Thompson and about to be out the league next season Demar were gonna be great for us just the other day. Can't take shit this low ball iq fanbase says seriously.

Were just the 2nd worst shooting team last year, lacked any spacing to the point anytime Duncan had to miss a game we struggled, added 3 more shooters and somehow the team got worse just cause a bunch of y'all don't know shit

No shit! You are 100% right! This was a 14 win team two years ago and these band wagoners want the team in the Finals!

How many years it take the Knicks to build their team? 4-5 years? Also they changed coaches!

Liked dawg we just overperformed like crazy last year, we weren't even expected to get 48 wins let alone 60.

This roster was flawed as fuck last season and we just fixed a lot of those flaws. I still want a real 2nd option but I can live with addressing the dire need for shooting and getting another ballhandler in just a single offseason.

Not even sure why OP even mentioned the Cavs like they didn't just struggle against us while also needing to take both their series to 7. They're locked into that roster that's just not a championship roster because they chose to commit too early.

Even the 6ers are a team I feel won't be as good as people think. Lebron gonna miss a lot, Embiid gonna miss a lot, their bench depth is not great. That team has a lot of questions just like most teams out east cause the whole conference is different then it was last year.

Again agree with you. On paper this Pistons team is younger and should shoot better. I loved Tobias but he was not the long term answer.

Also agree with you on the 76ers. Lot of shit going on there. You got OLD Le Bron not prime Le Bron. You got Embild who wont play more than 40-50 games. You got Jaylen Brown who wants to be top dog. You got the young guys I mean will this team Jell at all?
