@McKendryMM12 I’d rather reallocate the funds they want to allocate to duren to get Cade an actual number 2. When we stuck Paul Reed as a starter he excelled and matched Duren’s production not to mention he actually performs in the playoffs
Isaiah Stewart had multiple public heated moments with the coaching staff throughout the postseason, per @HunterPatterson.
Timeline:
• Just before halftime of Game 3 (vs. Magic), Stewart & Bickerstaff had a verbal back-and-forth while still on the court
• Stewart then had disagreements with several coaches during the Pistons’ Game 7 loss (vs. Cavs)
• Stewart was subbed out of the game and was reluctant to give Bickerstaff a high five
• Luke Walton tried correcting Stewart’s behavior before Stewart brushed Walton off as well
• Pistons assistant Jarrett Jack watched it all unfold, Stewart and Jack exchanged words before players had to separate the two

@McKendryMM12 I have absolutely zero sympathy for a player who completely fell off in the playoffs and is asking for the max regardless. He was awful defensively and became completely one dimensional in the playoffs. I’m good off him
@Fire_Ronnie2K Hopefully I never have to watch a Pistons game with Jalen Duren in a Pistons uniform again. He’s a terrible player and the “He’s only 22 years old” gimmick is so tired especially for a player who’s whining and pouting about not getting a max when he doesn’t ever deserve it 🙏🏽
@Fire_Ronnie2K Ah yes because the dead weight in the playoffs being off the team is surely going to remove them from contention, obviously, and ruins the franchise for years after 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Milan_Lawrence2@___Drizz Every time he got starter minutes in the regular season, he played just as well as Duren and was an infinitely better player when it mattered the most.
@___Drizz#They are calling me insane for saying Bball Paul would do just fine as the starting 5 even though every time he started he put up great numbers
