I’m going to one of the upcoming games and I have shoes I want to get signed, will I be aloud to carry them in or do I have to wear them?

He's always been very muscular but he looks a little bigger and slower this year. Could it benefit to drop some of it still stay strong but more leaner muscle?

Bill Simmons published his annual Trade Value Rankings on The Ringer - https://nbarankings.theringer.com/trade-value. This list basically ranks the 1:1 trade value of each NBA player factoring in contract, long term viability, upside, locker room presence, transferability (i.e. Draymond with Steph vs any other team) etc.

Cade is the only Piston officially ranked with Ivey, Ausar, and Stew as honorable mentions. I honestly think the list is pretty fair with only Paolo (8), JJJ (12), and Mobley (13) as the only players above Cade that I have an issue with. I see the logic and firmly think Cade will be in the 8-6 range next season.

This is also a purely made up list so we don't need to get outraged as our boy is an actual All-Star. That said, what do you all think?

Looking to take my kid to his first game on Sunday. I have two tickets for my wife and i for club level. Kid just turned 2 a couple months ago and would sit on my lap, anyone know how strict or have any experience with this? Would they actually turn away a kid for being a few months older than 2.

It’s obvious Cade is carrying a huge load, more than most other stars in this league when you look down our roster.

Fanbase obviously seems to be out on stop gap aging stars like Beal, Butler, Lavine…We’re also not on board for often injured, yet younger talent, like Ingram, Zion…

With De’Aron Fox coming available, yet not on our radar…it got me thinking about exactly when and who could be the true running mate that Cade needs.

Are you hoping that second star just emerges from the early picks we got over the years in Ivey, Ausar or Holland?

If this isn’t the case, is there any stars or disgruntled star that you think could become available next season that has some connections to Cade that we could actually bring into Detroit? It seems like such a tough path for us if it isn’t internal. If it isn’t mining a star from our draft picks, it seems like we may need to find a diamond in the rough via trade…Big names just don’t become available to Detroit.

Questions for those who have gone to LCA and bought tickets resale:

-Does sitting in the gondolas come with any perks or club access? Couldn't really find info online.

-What is the blue club and what does it come with? Couldn't really find info online.

Thanks! Any other pro tips are welcome for seating!

Sorry if this is posted somewhere, but I can't find it on the Pistons website. I finally convinced my sister to drive down for a Pistons game on Sunday since it's an afternoon game and my nieces love stuffed animals, but I can't see anywhere how many of these they are giving away. The kids are very excited to be getting them and I want to make sure we arrive on time to get them but I also don't want to make them stand outside the arena for 30 minutes waiting for the doors to open.

Hello You All

Long time no see

Simple question for you. Collin Sexton or Anfernee Simons. Who would you prefer?

Both are playmakers. Both can handle the ball

Both are young and can grow with the team after the season

Both fill a role this team needs. Someone not named Cade who can playmake for themselves and others

The two share a lot of similarities

Which do you prefer and why?

Absolutely need to find another ball handler at the deadline. I know Ivey will be back next year but this season is gonna go off the rails pretty fast if we can’t even get passed a full court press. I was kinda in the middle when it came to making any bigger moves this deadline but watching the lack of flow when Cade is off the floor/ how many times he gets trapped and doubled these past couple games moved me a lot. Need to get a guy that can make a defense pay for full court press/ doubles. Man I miss Jaden Ivey bad. Currently I’d be happy to see us get Sexton or McCollum. What do you guys think?

This team still is not good. JB is coaching the hell out of this team with one star player and a handful of other players that might do one or two good things good-great but nothing exceptional. JI injury just makes that skill gap leap off the screen every night. For some context, on this road stretch:

Pacers - Pistons have 1 player in their starting lineup that would be in their starting lineup, and only 1/4 best players on the court.

Suns - Pistons have maybe 2 players in their starting lineup that would be in their starting lineup, and only 1/3 best players on the court

Magic - Pistons have 1 player in their starting lineup that would be in their starting lineup, and only 1/4 best players on the court

Cavs - Pistons have 1 player in their starting lineup that would be in their starting lineup, 1/5-6

Hawks - Pistons have 2 players in their starting lineup that would be in their starting lineup

Rockets - Pistons have 1 player in their starting lineup that would be in their starting lineup

23 wins right now is exceptional right now given this roster, but until there's better skill, Pistons aren't going to be able to break through to that next tier of truly being able to compete with every team on a nightly basis, which doesn't necessarily need to happen this season.

It would be nice though to help our one star player and clean up the edges before Ivey's return next season - upgrading the THJ and/or Tobias spot, upgrading Tek minutes, letting AT figure things out in initiating offense to grow his game (which we've seen more recently) and Ron too, maybe getting a stretch big. Priority #1 #2 and #3 though is to build around Cade. The process has started in a meaningful way but is far from complete and took a major step back with the Ivey injury
