Let me tell y’all something I’ve been a Detroit Pistons die hard fan since 1988 during the Bad Boys era, in 34 years have I ever seen a General Manager like Troy Weaver pull off such a Bank Robbery steal in the NBA draft like the Pistons did tonight…Troy Weaver is like Michael Jackson, a Smooth muthafuckin Criminal….When Sacramento Kings at the number 4 draft pick selected Forward Keegan Murray out of Iowa….my mouth literally dropped 😵😵😵 👈🏼 as if God put a million dollars in my hand…for Jaden Ivey to fall in the Pistons lap like the way he did at the Pistons 5th overall pick in the draft, that was unbelievable…Jaden Ivey you’re talking about a kid that can be the next Dwayne Wade in terms of skill, explosive to the basket, unlimited shooting range like Steph Curry, great perimeter defender and you pair him up with Cade Cunningham in the backcourt????, a 19 and 20 yrs old…should be down right illegal 🤣
It gets even better!!! A lot folks was raising eyebrows over the Pistons trade, shipping Jeremy Grant to Portland Trailblazers for peanuts for a future first round pick (2025) people didn’t understand the move, but when the Pistons did that I was like oh shit Troy Weaver got something up his sleeve…so the Pistons turned around and use that future draft pick to go and get another top 15 lottery draft pick in bringing a Center like Jalen Duren here as well??????? Who could’ve gone in the top 5 draft class himself, “The best center in the draft” The Pistons for the first time I say in the last 50 years went out and got a TRUE CENTER in Jalen Duren, 6-11-7-0 at 18 years old and a rim protector , a rebounding machine and clog up the paint down low….That was the steal of the Fuckin night!!! and what did the Pistons give up for it?? That 2025 future draft Pick and Kemba Walker’s expiring contract worth only $9.2 million which we will buyout…The Pistons went out and got guys who fills up the holes in our depth chart…
👉🏽 But here’s why Troy Weaver is so genius as the Pistons General Manager, the Charlotte Hornets have two contracts they are sweating bullets over
Gordon Hayward who’s owed $30 Million for the next two seasons $60 million ( Toxic contract) and you have a restricted free agent in Forward Miles Bridges former Michigan State Spartan who is a Dawg ✊🏾 The Charlotte Hornets will not be able to keep Miles Bridges because of the contract they are stuck with Gordon Hayward which means since the Pistons gave up Jeremy Grant in the Portland trade and you bring in another solid piece to your roster like Miles Bridges who is 24 yrs old himself and can put up numbers the Pistons will have the salary to sign Bridges here and Charlotte wouldn’t have the money to match the Pistons offer to Bridges…and with a front court like
Isaiih Stewart (Beef Stew)
Marvin Bagley Jr. (former 1st round 1st draft pick)
Jalen Duren
Miles Bridges
all under the age of 25 Give Troy Weaver his roses now 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 if you’re a Detroit fan, we don’t need a Deandre Ayton for a max contract now who hasn’t played worthy of max contract, plus the Pistons will still have more money under the salary cap for next season when the Collective Bargaining agreement salary cap goes up higher…This is exciting times if you’re a Pistons fan…Troy Weaver is looking to fill up those seats at Little Caesars Arena on a nightly bases and making fans want to come to the games! Give the owner Tom Gores credit too for not micro managing Troy weavers GM moves, a lot professional sports owners be down in General Managers throats for every decision they make, the culture has definitely changed in the Pistons front office big difference from the Stan Van Gundy and Joe Dumars latter era…DEEEETROIT-BASKETBALL!!!!! 🏀 ~Zachary Hunter~
