dats a fact

Lmao. Literally no one was talking about our offseason moves. You are the one who continues to bring it up.

Really? We have been talking Pistons the past 3-4 pages, ever since you responded that they aren't moving Monroe. And I don't see how you are supposed to talk Pistons without mentioning Jennings, Smith, Monroe, Drummond, etc. Enlighten me on that one.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

How can Jennings be a system breaker if he has only been in one system?

For starters, you are extremely naive if you think Jennings has only played in one system through his four seasons in the NBA. Secondly, even if he had, what does that have to do with anything?

Its a fight its a fight

Me saying I don't think we will trade Greg led to you saying Smith is a horrible fit and Jennings is system killer lol.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

And is any of that untrue?

 

[jonathanlambert33]

And for the record, I made post regarding my dislike for both Smith and Jennings during the last regular season, it just so happens the Pistons signed both of those guys. Though Smith is really close to being a very good player if someone could finally get through to him on the offensive side of the ball.

 

[RipCity32]

I don't know if it is untrue, because they haven't played a regular season game together yet.

Once again, let the season play out.
I'm not going to predict how pieces mesh when they haven't even played more than like 2 pre season games together.

Heard from a source he got knee soreness. It shouldn't be a huge deal though, hopefully...

Think for yourself a little. How do YOU think they fit together? Use the board for what it is for.

Don't say "just let it play out," that makes it sound like you aren't very confident and are just hoping for the best.

I'm surprised they let him play 31 minutes.

I've said multiple times how I think they will mesh since we brought them in. I'm sick of talking about it. Go back and find it if you'd like.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Lol, lead me in a general direction then.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I went all the way back to the day they signed Jennings, not a word on how you think Jennings and Smith will "mesh" together, or the team in general. A lot of talk about Drummond. Random posts about how interesting the team is. Rob saying he thinks the Pistons are better than the Knicks, that'll be fun to watch. A number of posts essentially saying this:

I believe he still is going to show sights of that Bucks-Jennings, but I really do believe he is going to tone them down here. And I think having Cheeks and Billups to mentor him furthers my opinion of that.
Chauncey was in a similar spot when he came to Detroit. If anyone can groom him, it would be him.

But like I said, there certainly will be time when he makes fans say "wtf."

What I expect is that he is going to become more of a playmaking PG, rather than a scoring PG like he's been. In the process I expect him to take some better shots than he did in Milwaukee. Probably will have times where he was the BJ from the Bucks, but I really do think having the bigmen talent we have that his game will evolve a bit.



Hate to keep saying it, but I really do think playing with Chauncey and learning from Mo will help him a ton as well.

This great post from cheato:

You have quite a bit of time on your hands lol. You also remind me a of little pestering 5 year old.

Patiently wait until we get into the season and you can critique the Pistons all you'd like.
