Officer McNaughty tonight so this is very exciting we have a loaded show and we start with There is no town in America Ricardo no town in America where more action and fireworks take place in the off seasons i can hardly keep up with all of the action the trades the blockbusters the pop the sizzle i feel like I’m at effing summers slam cue the pyrochnics we have Tjan Langden telling you about the Pistons offseason plan i’m too excited no more hiding it we’re just going to play this audio and cue the party music david hit it there you go you guys got what you wanted we’ll talk to you tomorrow you know what the irony is juxtaposing that and looking at the parade going on for OKC and we just got the Trust us it’s going to work right going to run this sign a big free agent hartinstein made a huge trade to get SG look here’s the bottom line here’s how I want to play this we don’t need to talk about any other damn team we can just talk about our people last night WJO did a topic and I credit him even though he woefully misrepresented where I stand on things that’s fine it’s for a fact and I’m not mad but 80% of people were shooting down a trade to get Giannis are you serious yeah okay you idiots then here here you go i mean basically Wojo couldn’t even believe it and this is where we are in this town why because they Here do you need a t-shirt that says we like our guys because that’s what it is in this town lions Tigers Pistons Wings it’s all the same so here you got what you wanted you’re gonna keep You’re gonna WBBT it you’re gonna keep the band together and that’s Listen I’m not mad if that’s what you believe i think you’re okay we lost Rico when I said Yeah because this isn’t like Zion which I get he has a history of not playing it’s Giannis didn’t matter what’s wrong with Giannis you don’t need him he’s 30 doesn’t shoot threes they don’t like his accent uh okay you know farted in an elevator people were just making things up okay ask WJO i’ll be quiet go ahead go no there’s nothing to be quiet about i’m asking people okay Trey Langden has just told you we’re not going to be aggressive yeah we’re going to develop from within and if we can quote get better on the margins blah blah blah okay there’s your off seasonason 248 you don’t have a first round pick so there you go you’re going to run it back hallebertton’s dead tatum’s dead dame’s dead your answer run it back are you good with it yes no or otherwise i don’t need to tell you where I’m at it doesn’t matter because unlike you people I actually want to win a championship unlike you people I don’t eat the grl that I’m served hey let’s check that Pistons title hotline it’s the And it’s right down the street from the Tigers uh off the cliff from the Lions who have never won anything and honestly it feels like the Wings have never have either because it feels like three lifetimes ago when we had players we cared about deep meaningful runs and they were up 2-1 in the Stanley Cup finals only to lose in seven games nick Lstrom off the crossbar with under a minute to go the point I’m making is I’m different so where are you guys at rico David Kenny do whatever you like i like to resend what I said yesterday of the yes and no you lied to me you lied to your community i did not lie and you know what you lied to the black community you No you know what you’re a problem when you get more information you’re allowed to change your mind i got more information today i sat there and listened to the press conference with you tan went no and no and immediately all the air just went out the room like “Okay you know what i got to change this.” Cuz I thought I gave him the benefit of the doubt he’s new let’s see what he does in his first real off seasonason after seeing everything that he has with this team i honestly thought he saw what we saw you got all of these players who won’t be playing next year if they do it may be for half the season the East is available i’m going to make the move i got a superstar in the making i’m going to go out there i’m going to be aggressive and instead I guess I shouldn’t be surprised because the owner came out and said “I just want to win a series next year we did a great job and maybe next year we’ll even win a series that was the goal all he did was reiterate what the owner said so no and no no and no no and no no and I apologize i thought he I thought he was going to actually do something i really did and hearing that you don’t even own a first round selection oh they have pick 37 though don’t worry i’m sure the local media will be busy blowing bubbles for that pick been the set everything’s great i’m a kid with a bubble machine oh they got a real steel at 37 in Yan Forsber yeah here’s the sad reality to that that person probably went back to college to make more money all right so where are you guys at go ahead you should be taking a damn victory lap this is what eight out of 10 is wanted anyways right not KD but Giannis wow no literally saying wow most Piston fans wanted them to do nothing so here it is so go ahead what do you think’s going to happen next year you think you’re winning the East you’re not are you taking advantage of the East being wide open not really and before you say it no one is sitting here propagating trade in Jaden Ivy so you can just save those hot takes i’m fine keeping him i wanted to add a power forward or a wing and Orlando has gotten better and I think they’re much better than you so go ahead your GM just came out only in Detroit can you get away with this by the way there’s no other town where you have this big turnaround energy is high people are excited it is uncanny there’s something I know Detroit is built on a giant salt mine we really got to start checking the water because only in this town can you go up there tan looked like he didn’t sleep last night he’s barely with us we’re not going to be aggressive development goule uh it’s just like really that’s what you’re offering us everyone is so excited about this team and and why is the idea of by the way keeping your options open why go up to the podium and say that why say you’re not going to be aggressive why tell every why show everybody all your cards we just talked about this scott Harris did a beautiful job when he came on our station you can’t show your cards tan the ear here’s the launch codes he basically said “Yeah we’re going to be working to get our guys back and we’d love to have him back but that’s up to the agents.” WBBT man bringing the band back together that’s what this town is we’ll get Hardway back and we’ll have the breaking news sounder cool this Okay so this is what people wanted tell us how happy you are here i’m right here seriously you should all in unison have boners you should be tripping over your boner to call to tell us the sports gasm you’ve experienced that your GM has given you what you wanted which is we’re not doing anything we’re going to develop and if we can get better on the margins okay phone lines are available the boner hotline is available yeah cuz right now I feel the way in the Knicks game when when K threw the ball to hard away in the corner and it goes out of bounds what basically they didn’t make the shot that’s how I felt when I heard that like I’m excited i’m waiting you’re gonna say we’re gonna be aggressive guys i’m looking at the free agent market i’m looking at making some trades we’re going to see what we’re going to do something give us something instead you rolled it back with ah you know we’re going to bring back the guys and just going to maybe next year wow okay no no david please the feeling I had on Sunday and I know I might be a bad person but the feeling I had on Sunday Tyresese Hallebertton goes down and yes sad for him but in my head I’m like “Oh it’s time.” Now we have to go out there and do this no and we get this from the GM today this is disappointing i I have waited years year after year after year after year after year after year to finally get back to the playoffs to finally be a good team again we’ve done that and now it’s time to be aggressive and go out there and be better because the East is wide open and we’re talking about young guys and their development and they’ll they’re working out right now i don’t care what they’re doing right now trade them get me a star okay i mean David I I don’t I’m not screaming for a star i would like it but I can’t create one out of thin air it’s the idea that unless unless you got to leave room for love in your heart maybe Langden goes heel turn and does make a big trade but when a guy goes out and tells you “Yeah we’re not going to I don’t foresee it i don’t think we’re going to be very aggressive we’re going to develop hope to get our own guys,” he’s telling you so go ahead yeah i guess I thought that he was going to be a lot like Troy Weaver on draft day weaver that was his day to shine he went out there he was the bell of the ball and the Pistons were interesting they were making moves and I guess I just expected the same thing and not to be shot down 48 hours before the draft yeah Kenny I I’m I’m not a I’m not a smart basketball fan like you guys are but I have a question that Mike you actually asked earlier why would he say that why wouldn’t he just say we’re exploring all options we want to see what’s out there yada yada yada i have Kenny very strange it’s very strange to me and I think Tjan Langden’s a very smart guy but that was not a smart thing to say unless it’s the absolute truth there are two ways to perceive that no I think it’s the truth it’s just the truth or he’s setting you up for a big whoopity doo dah no don’t do that cuz that’s just Charlie Brown missing the football again because owner said it he just said it i got to say it’s true well boner hotline’s open all the Piston fans who have kicked and screamed at every trade you don’t want any player go ahead call in tell us how happy you are maybe you expanded your season ticket package next year the idea that you are simply not going to try this summer you’re going to close ranks you’re going to develop and oh yes let’s let’s just go all out to bring back the Hardaway Juniors the Schroers and the Beasley’s of the world okay that’s certainly a bold strategy let’s see how it plays out i can tell you how it’ll play out you won’t win an NBA championship but feel free and that ultimately is the separator i want to win and I don’t understand this town where you have title droughts in this case north of two decades and there is absolutely no urgency no one is saying throw the baby out with the bathwater haven’t said it rico hasn’t said it no one is saying blow it up but the idea that you don’t want to make a move expedite the process that that’s that’s just I don’t understand it but then again every GM in this town’s got a lifetime deal doesn’t matter you can do nothing and people will support it so here it is go ahead call up salute your hero you don’t even have to talk to me Enrico salute doing nothing a Detroit tradition since 1750 or whenever this town was founded what is it free press on guard since you know what Detroit sports doing nothing since so which is going to be the team that makes that move first it’s it’s really crazy cuz I am as optimistic about the Pistons as anyone and making a quality tactical move man you could threaten to make the Eastern Conference Finals make an NBA Finals but you almost get vilified because you want more you okay you’re there but if you do this man you’ll be at that next level no no no no 2485399797 david’s disgusted
