MONTY DECISION? WHO WILL PISTONS DRAFT? CLINGAN, SHEPARD, RICHACHER, SALAUN! FREE AGENCY! JERRY WEST

What's going on with Monty? Draft is only two weeks away and the draft is wide open! Who will the Pistons be able to sign in free agency?

[@FC-hr4ww]

Victor is an alien and in 1 yr showed way more potential then Cade in 3 years, one major reason is cades injuries , which would scare anyone giving a max contract too. I like Cade but he needs to show more durability and improvement , just sucks we haven’t seen as much of him due to his injuries and now we have to pay him.

[@robb.report2493]

I only know of Jerry West from his days as an executive. There are not many that can build teams like he could. Very rare air. Tremendous eye for talent!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@pistonfanaticpodcast656]

UNBelievABLE player!

[@TWKOZAK]

Sorry, Dave, I'm not sold on Cunningham. Good player, but too fragile. As I'm watching the Celtics headed towards an NBA title again, I'm impressed by their 3-point shooting. As a former Warriors fan, the 3 is the game today. Where's the consistent 3-point threat on the Pistons? At the age of 64, I'm a little old to be waiting for years to support a winner.

[@Jamar-lg9ob]

Defense the game today

[@pistonfanaticpodcast656]

I am 68 and I have faith in Cade but if we let Monty back it will st us back another year!

[@russelldalton7640]

You had elements of your game that were very much like Pistol Pete (handles, behind the back stuff) and Jerry West (finding ways to make your team win). The reasons I wore 44 were Jerry West, Pistol Pete, Hank Aaron, and Dave and Tim Dalton.

[@pistonfanaticpodcast656]

Thank you , Russ! You wore it well!

[@garyweglarz]

Monty's lineups were incomprehensible, his minutes distributions were incomprehensible and his substitution patterns where incomprehensible - other than that he was just freaking peachy as our coach. : /

[@pistonfanaticpodcast656]

I will be sick if he remains as coach!

[@garyweglarz]

@@pistonfanaticpodcast656 Amen to that brother!

[@russelldalton7640]

As a Mavs fan, I am glad that the free agent negotiations will not start today (but I know it will begin soon).

[@JerryMcKinnie]

I have been a piston fan for 70 years...I played..I coached...my strategy is to keep all the first round young players all 5..keep Sasser and Fettecheeni....I'm not sure about Grimes...but then get some talented vets.....then Monte has something to work with

[@Jamar-lg9ob]

Monty needs to go

[@tehrag.1138]

Monty would still screw up the line ups. He's gotta go.

[@pistonfanaticpodcast656]

Wow Jerry , you have me beat! I am cool with keeping the young guys and I am optimistic about Grimes! Monty was incompetent last season!

[@KennethChristian-f1k]

I like Holland, seems the most likely to be available for #5 with the least weaknesses and the prototypical long wing every team needs several of I’m hoping he can form one half of our own version of the Js

[@MikeyP123]

Monty should of been fired in the locker room after the final game

[@ONEMOORwithJimmaaaaaay]

I would have cut him loose way before then! He was clueless!

[@pistonfanaticpodcast656]

14 wins... I agree!

[@MikeyP123]

@@pistonfanaticpodcast656 14 wins and even worse stunted the growth of our young players

[@pinanaplayer]

Piston Mic just had a short on all who the Pistons worked out. He said they were all 2nd rounders which makes him think that we will definitely trade the 5th pick.

[@JerryMcKinnie]

No one out hustles Beef Stew

[@ONEMOORwithJimmaaaaaay]

Keep up the good work Dave! Stay strong thru these tough times! I appreciate your perspective. We are mostly on the same page but I think you are in tune with the collegiate level then I. As far as Monty keeping his job... Good Bye Monty! He has no idea how to evaluate talent. That team was no worse than a .500 team. As tough as it would be monetarily, I would send him packing or trade him to the Lakers and pay half the salary instead of ALL. Just say'in.

[@pistonfanaticpodcast656]

Thank you! I am nervous he is coming back!

[@King_Lou96]

If we trade back to get an established star player and swap picks we could end up getting kenecht or cody williams. Take a look at those guys when u have the chance Dalton. Love your content keep it up good sir.

[@pistonfanaticpodcast656]

Cody has HUGE upside and Knecht is a bucket! It will be fascinating to see what happens!

[@King_Lou96]

@pistonfanaticpodcast656 I made my comment at the start of the video. You acknowledged both of the guys I mentioned lol this draft will be super interesting for the pistons because of where we are

[@Jamar-lg9ob]

Ron Holland remind me of khawi Leonard 2.0

[@mbwell]

Totally confused. I’m hearing the Pistons need instant scoring, so I’m thinking they should be leaning towards the Tennessee product. This could be a smoke screen. The aforementioned players are several years away from developing.

[@pistonfanaticpodcast656]

You are right, of all the players in the draft ,Knecht is the guy most readt to put the ballin the bucket!

[@JerryMcKinnie]

How about using our 5th pick for a rim protector

[@Jamar-lg9ob]

Ron Holland get Jonas Valanciunas in Free agency

[@pistonfanaticpodcast656]

Clingan could be the choice!

[@tehrag.1138]

Since Monty hasn't been fired by now, unfortunately, we're probably stuck with him. He blew Ausar's chances of making the all rookie team and possibly defensive player of the year, he screwed with Ivey's development, and sabotaged the entire team. Majority of Pistons community want to see him gone. Would be a huge letdown if he stays.

[@pistonfanaticpodcast656]

100%!!!

[@sherroddinkins7464]

Monty Williams will not be fired, unfortunately. Monty will get the first 20 games to show what he can with this roster.

[@pistonfanaticpodcast656]

Looks like it but I would hate it!

[@Jamar-lg9ob]

Let's trade sasser and stew couple seconds for herb Jones

[@pistonfanaticpodcast656]

I would LOVE that!

Monte inherited a huge mess of numerous injured players..a wreck already....You have been very unfair when it comes to Monte

[@MikeyP123]

The guy played Killian hayes and Isaiah livers big minutes…. He helped create the mess while stunting the growth of our young guys

[@pistonfanaticpodcast656]

He has made poor decisions!

[@lurking0death]

Monty Williams is a fine coach and will be given at least a year or two to get results. That's the truth of it, and not the scapegoat saga so many preach.

[@revmichael4]

maybe they're trying hard to get some money back by buying out monty.

[@mikeferguson3126]

Yes that’s a good assessment

[@Jamar-lg9ob]

Ron Holland best option at 5 i wouldn't max cade out haven't proven he deserves it Monty should of gotten fired before Troy lets get Sam Cassell rondo or Iggy as hc Adam Simon as GM

[@KennethChristian-f1k]

If we could get all three as assistants I think veteran players would want to be a part of our culture.

His handling of the team was egregious - worse than any coach in the NBA last season. He doesn't deserve a second chance.

[@MikeyP123]

@@tehrag.1138 exactly. Wins and losses aren’t even important: his mishandling of our young players was the bigger story

[@MPratt-zq4ek]

Why is this so hard. Cade is ball dominant like Kobe. You suggest we get Klingan. He’s not a low post threat. He can’t check Zach. Defense is questionably better. What is the narrative? Biggest and best player in college we trying to get lesser smaller players to pair with Cade. Only player helps Our Pistons is Zach. Are we gonna let everyone have a 7 footer skilled in the post and we keep getting rim rollers. Klingan doesnt Fit can’t shoot free throws. Kobe didn’t win with rim rollers he won with low post players. Why y’all doing this to our team? I’m crying out!!! WTH are y’all thinking. Only way would should take Klingan if we had a winning team already. Zach helps us so much more than klankin. lol. What is Klingan going to be playing defense on offense. We don’t need none of these ppl you all are suggesting. Did Lebron pay for everyone to do this so the Lakers can draft Edey to save his career. We try to force something when the obvious is Zach Edey. If we got Kessler we still lose. He’s ok but he’s more like Klingan. Zach is more like Shaq. And I see Lakers worked out Zach. SMH we wanna get hurt vets and wings that don’t fit with Cade. Build like the Kobe And Shaq team. As Cade is similar to zkobe. And Zach similar to Shaq. Don’t see it? Blind as a bat. Now fit Klingan with Cade. He don’t fit. Period. Win is the key not experimenting with our team when we can change it by playing and drafting right. Young core. Guard Cade. Center Zach. Now you have a dynamic duo…..Cade and Klingan. Hack a Klingan .. what are we thinking here. Klingan win national player of the year. Well Zach 2 times and he hasn’t been playing long. So he’s still leaning and he’s better than any of the other draft picks especially the fit fit Cade and to win. That’s the recipe. Zach will get better as the season goes on. Yet he will come out as a beast. With Cade they would be unstoppable. Every game is hard for the other team. As Zach is gonna real havoc on opposing centers and forwards no matter who.
