Blog boy @palaceofpistons, beat-maker, Wine Boy, Eleanor Roosevelt lookalike. I heard he dropped dead off the fent, they shot him jumping out the whip

@SergeyKadinsky @MmmkayDo Yes, obviously lol

Happy Pride if you're a guy, or you're a girl, or maybe you're something different

@ImJustKyle_ One of like 5 NBA fanbases where the majority of the fan podcasts are actually more objective than the national ones. Idk how it happened too because the fanbase in general is full of non-ball knowers

[Jasper Apollonia @BladeCunningham]

@Chuckisdope Won’t somebody think of the poor A&Rs??? Lmao

[Jasper Apollonia @BladeCunningham]

Thank you for listening! We’ll be talking a lot more off-season in the next few weeks

[DrDave @DGiancola3]

@BladeCunningham @AJohnsonNBA loved the pod today. My favorite FA for Detroit is Ayo Dosunmu. Favorite trade target is TM3, knowing he’d be expensive to pry away.

[Aaron Johnson @AJohnsonNBA]

After our eulogy to the 2025-26 Detroit Pistons, @BladeCunningham and I previewed our biggest big names the Pistons could target this offseason. Lots to take in here and more offseason talk to follow in the coming weeks.

[Jasper Apollonia @BladeCunningham]

@danistheboss313 Terrible defender, doesnt create shots for others…he just doesn’t solve any of the problems you had in the playoffs imo. There’s a reason Boston was happy to move on for a guy who didn’t even play game 7 in Vooch

[Jasper Apollonia @BladeCunningham]

It’s not great, but it’s pretty much right in line with the rates of most other lead ballhandlers and shot creators. You gotta just take some of the work off of his plate.

[Jasper Apollonia @BladeCunningham]

Cade still has a lot of work to do with his turnovers, but this chart helps illustrate that the sheer number of his TO’s is more based on his workload than anything else

[Automatic @automaticnba]

Castle's turnovers have been bad no doubt, but he's also led the spurs by far in time of possession, so i wanted to look at how his TOV rate compares to the league over the last couple postseasons.

Here's a chart.

➡️ Throwing bad passes more often
⬆️ Losing the ball more often

[Jasper Apollonia @BladeCunningham]

Thinking about what German Kids Bop would be called…probably something like “Kinder Boppin” much to consider

[Jasper Apollonia @BladeCunningham]

@JamG_91 @Brady_Fred Lmao you can’t be serious

[Jasper Apollonia @BladeCunningham]

@JamG_91 @Brady_Fred The Lions and the Pistons were not in comparable situations this year

[Henry Abbott @TrueHoop]

I covered Jason Kidd when he played for the Nets. I know one of his childhood friends. I've been to his house, met his kids, then-wife, and Pilates Instructor. And I have insight from many people who worked with him in his coaching years. This is a great firing.

[Jasper Apollonia @BladeCunningham]

@itsAntWright Milk is like $4 a gallon if you just go to the store instead

[Jasper Apollonia @BladeCunningham]

@ryan2985 @Mr_Skumbiya Duncan is your best trade asset of anyone over the age of 25

[Jasper Apollonia @BladeCunningham]

I'd put money down that two of Stewart, Ron Holland or Duncan Robinson is no longer a Piston when the 2026/27 season begins

[Jasper Apollonia @BladeCunningham]

@hesipuIIupjimbo Longest tenured current Cav!

[Jasper Apollonia @BladeCunningham]

I was talking about this in 2022 when the Cavs made the trade for Donovan Mitchell.

There comes a day for every young team that you have to make that consolidation move. You can’t stay emotionally attached to every guy, that’s the league unfortunately.

[Duncan Smith @DuncanSmithNBA]

The Great Consolidation is upon us. There won’t be an 11.5 man rotation next year.

[Jasper Apollonia @BladeCunningham]

@stevegumearthl1 Ah I get what you’re saying. Yeah, I agree with that. Fwiw I think Duren and Ausar have significantly more value than Sexton or Lauri did but yes, a real consolidation move will require more than just role players and late 1st rounders.

[Jasper Apollonia @BladeCunningham]

@SonOfShango Exactly this. The pistons were frauds because the regular season doesn’t matter, but also they won 60 games so they should have gone all in. Which is it guys lol
