No ….keep him
Ivey rocks….huge potential! Can’t Duren be taught defense
AUSARS OFF THE INJURY LISTTTTTTT
Were you talking about Cleveland or Orlando as a team without superstars?
He pissed me off yday but 100% keep
11:25 that’s what i’m sayin! i don’t think Claxton is worth 20+ mil until 2028. the main goal is to win a championship. We’re no where near that. Extend Duren’s contract and really focus on him becoming a better defender. he needs that before he can become anywhere close to his ceiling.
he garbage he don't have no type of skill set
I’m a Huge JD fan, but we not gonna go to far with him or giving him a huge contract. Trade him for W Kessler or Ware from MIA.
It’s silly to be talking about trading Duren already. Dude is a beast. Clearly still improving and already elite at a few things. Let’s just be happy that the young Pistons are showing growth and see where it takes them this year.
The league is full of piston castoffs as we give up way to early. Duran is a pure center not some dude 7 feet shooting 3s .. he’s a mid range jumper from being an all star. He’s improved and I’m impressed.
The issue with moving Duren is who are you gunna get to replace him? Bigs that have the mobility to cover the perimeter & paint are few & far between, and the C's that are theoretically available for a trade also struggle when they're switched onto the perimeter. If he can get to a B+ or higher level rim protector, I'd be cool with it and just build the team/scheme around him with guys like Ausar/Holland who are athletic enough to help him if he's switched into space
Sign Myles Turner. He's UFA in 2025.
We just starting to gel and build something and we talking about trades like we going for the chip soon? Can’t we just embrace the growth we seen thus far and give the core a chance to mature. These guys early 20s , I would like to see the core in their prime 25+ yrs old and then decide if u want to give up on this core , wayyyyy too early. We see just a glimmer of hope and we talking about trading a piece of our core already? For what , we ain’t making no championship run right now?
My only question with staying pat is how will we improve next season? Do you honestly think the Pistons are going to attract attention from winning 30 or even 40 games? Making the playing guarensheeds a 10-14th pick in the draft essentially which isn't going to help. I say pick 3 guys you want to build around and put everyone else on the table. If a good deal comes around for those players then trade em.
