I agree. I foresee Dalton looking great playing with Jared Vanderbilt and Gabe Vincent alongside him to cover any defensive inefficiencies. I think Dalton comes in and makes an immediate impact and potentially even starts, moving Reeves to the bench. If the Lakers are healthy they become actually one of the deepest teams in the NBA.

I know, right?! They both seem to just fit better elsewhere and both clubs would have a much higher ceiling with the other young player than the current.

I don’t see Ivey starting as a PG but as the point of attack on defense and then playing off-guard while Cade runs the show offensively.

Thank you for the compliment. I do think American players have been met at the same level of talent. Consider what I mentioned at the end about the relative size of these countries are closer to the sizes of our larger states. Imagine if you grouped all the players from California or Texas, FLorida or New York, DMV, Illinois even… I don’t think we dominate on the world stage, we would struggle mightily. Canada also benefits from the sheer size and population pool of it’s country in comparison to the rest of the world.

@@teezzz9645 Some so called fans want as high a player Turnover rate as possible because they want the Pistons to lose. High player Turnover rate = lower levels of player chemistry. (DUH).

Bro, these are for fun. Let's not act like Ivey has not been under scrutiny and questioning of his place alongside Cade. Keep in mind that the NBA gets a new influx of talent every year in the draft and when they are choosing at the Top of it, he can easily be replaced as when Cade supplanted Killian Hayes and then Ivey supplanted Killian to where now Killian is out of the NBA. Imagine if Ivey does not take that next step and the Pistons draft VJ Edgecomb next summer... I'm not betting against Ivey, as my prior video explained, I am just having fun mulling over ideas.

@@therockneverstops8261 bro what? First off Ivey hasn’t got a real shot alongside Cade being that C2 was injured Ivey’s first season then Monty and Killian Hayes love fest happened this past season Ivey is the only player on the team besides Cade that can actually put the ball on the hardwood and create offense for himself and others being that he has a all world first step able to get past anybody defending him, ability to create shot off dribble and collapse defenses like no one else on the team, Ivey is also a knockdown c&s guy finishing his rookie season shooting 47% on unguarded c&s 3s ranking him in the 90th percentile and is the best defender the pistons have at the 2 as well if Monty would have never happened none of this Ivey discourse would be a thing If it’s all for fun use someone else on the pistons how about Ausar how about Stewart?? It’s always Ivey you made your twin size bed now you will have to lie in it keep that same energy when Ivey balling next year jerk

@@teezzz9645 I see reading comprehension isn't a strength of yours...

I don't think you're getting a pick too, Lol.

Why?

@@therockneverstops8261 Jaden Ivey ceiling is wayyyy higher , Moses moody haven’t shown anything at least Ivey has averaged 16 points so far moody career high is 8 points per game going into his 4th year and Ivey is a 5th overall pick and moody is a 14th overall pick and hasn’t shown nothing lol yall really delusional

@@martoniopuryear1145 Keep in mind opportunity. Ivey's rookie year he was given the ball to run the show and take as many shots as he wanted for a losing organization. Moody was drafted to a Championship organization buried behind the greatest shooters of all time. His playing time is not an indication of potential.

@@martoniopuryear1145 Counterpoint: Ivey is shitty, mostly because he can't guard you.

@@therockneverstops8261 Moses moody is not that guy , Ivey will average 20+ points one day moody definitely won’t

Who do you think that player could be?

I can see that. Ivey is not a big 2-guard, he’s a big PG where defensively he can be a problem for other PG’s to shoot over or get past considering Ivey’s length and athleticism. Offensively, if they put a PG on Ivey instead of Cade, which is likely, Ivey has the size advantage to shoot over them or overpower them on his forays to the rim on drives.

That was actually my point. I may not have been as clear as I had hoped. I was contrasting what JB Bickerstaff HAD to do in Cleveland with what he WON’T have to do in Detroit because Ivey and Cade measure in at 6’5 and 6’6/6’7 allowing a more natural complimentary fit.

A bum

@@teezzz9645 A better player than Ivey.

Hopefully you will soon enough. He was a top recruit in his class and a one-n-done player from the Univ. of Arkansas where he had a great freshman campaign before becoming a lottery pick in one of the deepest drafts in recent NBA History. I expect Moses Moody to finally carve out playing time or get traded to where he can going into a contract year.

Exactly

@@teezzz9645 No, not exactly. Ivey is fucking shitty.

True and true. Do you consider the Detroit Pistons a “loyal” organization?

@@therockneverstops8261 You're asking me to engage in very ugly behavior when you ask me to pass blanket judgement on an entire group, which I have the humility to know I'm not qualified to do, and is disrespectful to those in the group. No one is qualified to make such a call, and to do so would be stereotyping.

Yes, shooting guards of normal human height who can't shoot or guard are shitty players, so yes absolutely a dime a dozen.

They’re still valued but Ivey has not been dealt the best cards in his early career in Detroit. His inability to do the necessary things overshadowed the highly skilled things he had to offer. If you can’t take care of the ball and consistently defend as a guard it WILL impact how you are perceived. Remember Ben Macklemore? Gerald Green? Deion Waiters even.. I can go on. The NBA doesn’t hold onto unreliable players no matter how talented and as saturated with talent the League is right now no position is safe, they must prove it every year.

@@Ejohns1004 Some fans talk like they're a dime a dozen. WE KNOW BETTER!!

@@therockneverstops8261 The NBA isn't "saturated with talent". IT'S EASIER TO SCORE, meaning it takes LESS TALENT to score. That's why many fans say Jordan would average 50. It's not cool that you're encouraging your viewers to judge Ivey as harshly as possible, as if they were Romans at the Collosseum making thumbs up or thumbs down decision on whether a Gladiator should live or die. CUT THAT "MAKE OR BREAK" CRAP OUT. It is SUBVERSIVE in that it would encourage some fans to turn against Ivey instead of support him.

@@scottwickett1273 In both 2022-23 and 2023-24, the Pistons had the toughest schedule. In 2022-23 Cade missed most of the season. In 2023-24 the Pistons were injury-plagued. In NEITHER season did the Pistons have a FULL CONTINGENT of players. There were far too many factors out of players' control. The scheduling, the injuries, the OFFICIATING, the MORALE DISRUPTORS YELLING "SELL THE TEAM". You are devoid of integrity. All the players deserve a clean slate.

I think only the Dubs should say no.

Great points! The Warriors should do this in a heartbeat because they desperately need more athleticism. Especially, with the return of the Memphis Grizzlies.

He sucks.

LOL, I get it. I am just curious if the Pistons would not prefer a bit more reliability and continuity next to their star. As I mentioned, Ivey has the higher ceiling but Moody has the higher floor.

Moses moody is mid keep dreaming

@@martoniopuryear1145 Mid is better than Ivey.

Not sure if I believe in Steve Kerr’s developmental coaching to the same extent but I wouldn’t be shocked next to Stephen Curry and Draymond he wouldn’t flourish.

There is no superstar here, Lol.

😐

@@therockneverstops8261 Khris is too slow bro..

The Pistons haven’t done him any favors last season but this new season is promising.

I do too!

Ivey must master who he is vs becoming something else. If he does he can be great.

I look forward to it. He has a lot going in his favor. If he can stay locked into what his strengths are and play to them to the Pistons success he will have taken that major step we’ve been waiting for.

I would not be shocked at all.

If you followed last season into the offseason you understand where the talent and direction of this club is.

I’m not betting against it.

Truly.

I think Dame is going to bounce back in a MAJOR way!

Great points.

Why?

Why do you think the Magic say “No”? Especially with KCP now here and Anthony Black, Suggs may get squeezed out of his role and value.

@@therockneverstops8261 kcp a couple years rental black need bout two more years to develop suggs they best defender most complete player garland defense suspect don't fit magic

😐

I would say starting SG is Ivey’s position to lose.

I wouldn’t say terrible. Ivey is out of position playing floor general instead of scoring off guard. Keep in mind it’s only going to be his 3rd season.

@@therockneverstops8261 No he's not Cade is the point and the floor general. The problem is Ivey isn't getting any better which means he isn't being developed properly. We've seen it so many times with the Pistons, so many players have left here and gotten better that speaks volumes about their player development.

He wasn’t. He was undermined by Gore. This team was going to have an arch to their development, Cade’s injury set them back unavoidably and then Monty was a terrible fit.

​​@@therockneverstops8261 I stand by tgat take 100%. He cleared space and drafted what was looked at as one of the top 3 or 4 young cores in the league. Coach Casey stepping down was odd to me. His coaching philosophy was perfect to develop the team. If he was forced out, whoever did so deserves massive blame because he had the players fully bought in and there was a sense of magic in the air that is rare to see. That said, replacing him with who they did was the worst decision possible. The new coach had major red flags in regard to his locker room culture, player development, etc. I was worried he'd hurt one of the young guys' development like with Ayton and, sure enough, he did just that but worse than even imagined Weaver rebuilt about as well as you could ask for. Gores going over his head reportedly to sing last year's ciach was the biggest problem..

I appreciate that!

I completely agree.

I think Team USA will prefer chemistry, meaning returning as many players as possible while bringing in the right guys now to replace those aging out. Tyrese Haliburton Ja Morant Derrick White Anthony Edwards Devin Booker Cade Cunningham Jayson Tatum Jaylen Brown Bam Adebayo Chet Holmgren Jalen Duren Players to keep an eye on: Scottie Barnes Evan Mobley Trey Murphy Keegan Murray De’Aaron Fox Demond Bane Jabari Smith Jr Zion Williamson Amen Thompson Ausar Thompson

@@therockneverstops8261 I agree and like this list of players that can fit well together. Some people are also thinking that Cooper Flagg might be considered as well as he played on the select team this summer. Other than that it’s a good group of players. Not sure if they can win the gold medal again as France might comeback with more experience along with a more seasoned Victor Wembenyama.

I’m not betting against him but he is going to have stay locked in. Detroit wants to take a significant leap away from last season and if he can’t prove he’s ready by the first 30 games Tim Hardaway Jr will be his replacement until the Pistons find that longterm replacement.

@@user-pl7zc4oi6f He a dog but his bite is minimum and he about to be shipped away if this dog don't learn how to do his job way better and more efficient

It was brief on Ivey and has not been a fixture of focus throughout other interviews. I think the Pistons know they cannot pay everyone and are fixed on the players hardest to find.
