im sorry, but with what everyone has done, if this team doesnt make a move for a Trey Murphy esque player, this offseason has been a failure. You cant tell me Brown getting moved for PAUL GEORGE IN 2026 and some crap picks is some massive haul Philly gave up
Tobias Harris:
-Signed with Pistons when they were at their absolute lowest with motivation to turn the franchise around
-Huge part in Pistons resurgent 2024-25 season, first playoff appearance +wins in years
-Vocal locker room leader, active in the community with the Tobias Harris Family Foundation
-Never lost the faith in 3-1 comeback against Orlando
-Best playoff stretch of his career, saved the Pistons from embarrassment multiple times
-Leaves the Pistons as a solidified contender after unthinkable turnaround
I said it last summer, I didnt wanna pay him 30 mil. I'm not paying him 44 mil that he can get from another team and I'm DAMN Sure not paying him anything touching the max. Give him his bags and go pay Ausar
By making All-NBA, Jalen Duren is now eligible to sign a five-year max deal with the Detroit Pistons worth a projected $287.1M (30% of the cap):
26-27: $49.5M
27-28: $53.5M
28-29: $57.4M
29-30: $61.4M
30-31: $65.3M
Duren's max with the Pistons was previously 5/$239.3M
Max with another team is 4/$177.4M
I swear to god.
If I have to listen to ONE VOICE. ON VOICE. EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER.
ASK IF AUSAR CAN BE PLAYED IN THEPLAYOFFS.
OR IF THR PISTONS ARE BETTER WITH HIM ON THEFLOOR.
OR IF HES A DAMN GOOD PLAYER.
it’ll just be an instant block.
We watched this team be mediocre for the entire 2010’s.
We watched this team suffer through a rebuild, lose 28 in a row, hear “sell the team!” chants, get laughed at, and there were questions about they’d have to do another rebuild.
We now watching Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duren, and Ausar Thompson suffer through that season, and then lead the Pistons back somewhere they haven’t been since I was in 2nd grade.
Ausar Thompson: “We all came back the next year, and with all the turnover, it was just like a fresh start.
Nobody forgot though. At training camp, we all were on the same page that we wanted to change the way we did things, be more locked-in in practice, and do everything with more detail. Tim played in the championship the year before, so him and Tobias especially, they would get on the young guys if we were bs’ing. If we shortcut anything or weren’t locked in, they would be like, ‘This isn’t how winning teams do it.’ The vets really wanted to see the young guys be successful and teach us how to do it the right way, and I feel like that made the biggest difference in our culture. Tobias had played with Detroit before, and the last time he had played with them, they were in the playoffs. So he was always saying, ‘Detroit needs to see playoff basketball again.’
And yeah, I guess that just really stuck with us. Tobias said it so much that I started to believe it, too.
I’d be lying if I said we didn’t have a chip on our shoulder last year. That we didn’t come in with something to prove. But it wasn’t just about getting our lick back. It wasn’t about ego. It wasn’t even about the team.
It was about Detroit.
Something I always say is, I feel like the city where you play shapes a big part of how you play. The pioneers, the legends never fully leave, especially in a city like Detroit. All of Detroit’s teams that made it to the top had gritty defenders, people who weren’t afraid to make the game a little scrappy, but at the same time were still playing basketball.” https://t.co/JeQxowQ624

and honestly its freaking outrageous. I have never been more offended as a long time customer and supporter of the brand than I am now. If this was Steam, or Xbox, or any other store front this would have been handled already.
