Is There A Quick Fix For The Pistons? | The Valenti Show with Rico

[@krishaymon3245]

How many more years of Rico is this city going to have to suffer through?

[@duffman04]

He's awful

[@sueyu3603]

Diversity hire, it’s only going to get worse

[@FyredUpU]

Trading Cade is unfortunately not the move, what we get a 20th pick from the Spurs for him?

[@davidcolegio1374]

Cade is the most stable foundational piece we have and Rico wants him traded for table scraps. So he wants to see the spurs take another step forward and the pistons take 10 steps back? Cool.

[@marcusjohnson4116]

Dejounte Murray was traded to the Hawks for 3 first round picks. Murray was averaging 20/8/9 in his 6th year. Cade is averaging 22/4/8 in his 3rd year. The idea he'd only get you 1 first round pick is preposterous

[@bigfellamike1913]

​@@davidcolegio1374the Pistons 10 steps back? LMFAO we have no where to step backward to our backs are against the wall, we don't even have a GM or president of basketball operations right now. With cadee Cunningham we have gotten progressively worse every single year literally LMAO trading him after he resigns is a real possibility

[@jballen222]

😂 We’d get multiple first round picks from any team in the league and we still wouldn’t nor shouldn’t trade him

[@marcusjohnson4116]

@@jballen222 so by keeping what's best case scenario? Eastern conference finals?? 😂

[@michaellloyd409]

This is probably the worst Rico take I've ever heard.

[@2KVS]

Stop lying, you know Rico always has bad takes. I have never heard him make any sense.

[@markflood9755]

Rico needs to go

[@ritesoundproductions7193]

Rico clearly does not watch the Pistons

[@jamesgowder2575]

I now see that our city has a bunch of casual fans they don't understand basketball and how things work Rico is 100% correct in his assessment of the current state of our franchise the Pistons cannot get better with cade as its franchise player they should package him with ivey and stewart for future assets and picks to jump start the franchise again is the only way otherwise through 15 to 20 wins consistently over the next five years cade is not a franchise player he doesn't have what it takes

[@virginiaviolet4703]

Amen.

[@ashishnarayan4146]

For those of you who say this is a terrible idea, what possible other option is there?

[@jballen222]

Right…I mean the most cap space in the league with a bunch of young talent and assets…what option do we have but trade our unicorn future HOFer lmao 🤣 man some of you Detroit fans need to just stick to your “Jared Goff” chants

[@zacgrasl4229]

@@jballen222 What good is all that cap space or no one wants to come here 😂😂

[@jballen222]

@@zacgrasl4229 well we can overpay good young players looking for opportunity to shine. I wanted both Josh Hart and Divicenzo before going to NY. Divicenzo just exploded into a $25M/yr player but only getting $11M for next 3 years. I’m sure if the Pistons offered him 13 or 14 he would’ve joined.

[@steveyj3002]

Fire Monty and Troy and happy birthday Kenny

[@tank8610]

Aint no way we trade Cade...

[@Jamar-lg9ob]

Why

[@MrTonyJ]

This take is insane.

[@pepegajones6541]

We will see after this year, Cade will always have this amount of value but we did need one of these other picks to boom for this rendition of the rebuild to succeed. There is a world where Cade signs his extension and has to wait another 2 or 3 years for the player we draft this year or next year to develop into a star like he did but that’s asking a lot

[@phil1980boy]

Jerred Goff is correct. The Detroit Media is so negative!!!

[@montana01]

It’s a very difficult fix. They’ve got some good young pieces and cap space, they just don’t fit. So ideally you trade Ivey for someone who can shoot, and add a veteran who can score in FA/trade. Run with Cade, Ausar, Duren, a shooter and someone like Brandon Ingram or Dejounte Murray. Then you got the #5 pick, swing for the fences. Sounds crazy, but consider Bronny, or trading the pick. We got nothing to lose, and hope we hit the lottery next year.

[@MrTonyJ]

There is a way to get them competitive fast. 30-35 wins would be amazing after what we have been through

[@sup3rduperadam557]

“The Valenti AND rico Show” ..

[@bigfellamike1913]

People are mad at Rico because he has the guts to say what many people don't want to face... Paid Cunningham at his absolute peak is good enough to be maybe the third best player on NBA championship team probably fourth... Unless you guys realistically think we can get three better players in here or even two what Rico suggests isn't wild. It just sucks and is unfortunate but our front office has drove us to this point. Page Cunningham is most likely going to sign his rookie Max extension but after that I think we should definitely look for trade partners if we still haven't won 28 or more games by then which I honestly don't see happening

[@lancer2255]

How is this a crazy take? We have one good player surrounded by mediocre to low end talent. Hold on to him and waste his years? Only way to build a legit NBA roster is through the draft or FA. Clearly no superstars want to come here, so you turn to the draft. Trade Cade for as many 1st round picks as you can get. Doesn’t sound all that crazy to me…

[@jamesgowder2575]

You understand

[@wyattbarnes9641]

What has this administration done with a plethora of lottery picks?

[@marcusjohnson4116]

They stated that troy and this regime have to go first​@@wyattbarnes9641

[@jefffoote1640]

😂😂 We gotta get the "HOBO" right first! (Head Of Bball Operations)

[@2KVS]

Why would you trade the 1 definite piece for future draft picks. Rico’s take sets the Pistons back at least 10 years.

[@marcusjohnson4116]

Pacers traded their best player and are now in the 2nd round of the playoffs. I agree with Rico but I would add you could also trade for an established player instead. Ivey's skill set is more de'aaron fox but Cade plays point. Let Ivey run point, trade Cade for a good stretch big, and draft bpa and that's 30+ wins instantly

[@thugwayjoepog8163]

Rico smoking crack

[@wyattbarnes9641]

Definitely do not trade Cade. Start dealing some of those 1st’s for proven players or hire someone that can actually evaluate talent and not waste all of the lottery picks. Trading your only foundational piece would set the pistons back even more (if that is possible) especially with the idiot in the GM chair still having the power to make that deal.

[@OFDProductions]

Pistons shouldn’t trade Cade unless it’s for a HAUL

[@Jamar-lg9ob]

Im with trading cade but for three first and role player

[@Tonesherrera24]

Getting rid of Cade that would be worst thing to happen to us I think we need to get rid of duren or Ivey

[@steve7929]

The quick fix for the pistons is trading the draft picks for stars that need a new home. The pistons have gambled on the draft every single year and it doesn’t work. Should have traded the first last year before the lottery and they could have gotten a superstar for the wemby sweepstakes

[@Aarongoldner]

This take is nonsense. You have Cade. You trade for a star another team has to drop because of the Apron. There are many ways out without trading the best player you’ve had in years and years and years.

[@charleshall6357]

Yes theres a quick fix get rid of this owner thats made a billion off a losing team in a little over a decade.why would he give a shit.hes made a billion dollars and not won a playoff series

[@foursup3139]

This is the Stupidest take this radio station has ever had and everytime they talk the pistons this is Mike and Rico’s bright idea . Trade our franchise player that’s put up impressive numbers surrounded by garbage for what ? At best 3 mid to late round first picks ???! Rico and Mike should never talk pistons it’s so cringe

[@Molina88142]

What do you suggest the pistons do? They have no trade capital. No players aside from Cade are worth anything. And in all likelyhood, Cade will leave in free agency.

[@foursup3139]

@@Molina88142 no he won’t lol no player turns down their rookie extension .

Trade Cade is only option

[@phil1980boy]

No. There is no quick Fix. Slow and steady is the answer. Build build build. Winning in the NBA is not fast unless you're the Miami Heat, LA Lakers, LA Clippers or the NY Knicks. Everybody else has to draft well and take it from there!
