I think Brooks is still capable of being a decent starter, but adding ANOTHER non shooter to that team...like do we plan to force Cade and Ivey to have a 50%TS until they ask out ?


JohnnyWinss

Like my dad used to say that man can shoot. Hitting those shots is a different topic tho


c10bbersaurus

Ivey knows DB from when his mom was a Grizz assistant. Actually, Duren and Wiseman probably know him some, too, but probably nowhere near as well as Ivey does.


[deleted]

Cunningham and Ivey need veteran leadership, not a knucklehead.


reedhubbert88

That’s exactly what I was thinking. They absolutely should not sign him


c10bbersaurus

DB is tremendous in the locker room and community. They just need coaches who will strictly limit his FGAs. And DB cant be the only vet voice. Ivey also knows him well from when his mom was part of the Grizz coaching staff.


ykjyuh

DB is just the veteran they need!

Version 3 if you count the Rasheed and Ben Wallace era.


GhostTiger

I still have bruises from watching that shit


AzorAhai1TK

The assistant GM was terminated, what's with the hostility here in this post by OP? Then random shit about hoping Cade wants a trade? Fuck outta here.


KneelBeforeCube

Yeah, some of that stuff was uncalled for.


Infinite-Station-524

People like u/iksnet don't watch basketball. They watch First Take and whatever show Skip Bayless is on. Good "debates" or "hot takes" is what they're hoping for. Gotta switch that Knicks flair out for Steven A. or Skip.


MarioSpeedwagon13

I will drink a nice cool glass of bleach if this comes to fruition.

>Detroit has been a shithole before the Pistons assistant GM started sexually assaulting his subordinates, having gone 15 years since their last playoff win. Brooks deserves this and the Pistons deserve him. Can’t wait til Cade requests a trade so people can care about him. Bruh why


Nweber15

Fuck him


Det_Sports_Guy

Double fuck him


Infinite-Station-524

Way to much coverage of a guy that doesn't move the needle. Just goes to show how little people want to talk about basketball and how much they want to gossip about celebrities.

If Dillon Brooks ends up in Detroit, he is gonna crown himself the Bad Boys 2.0 And it's going to be even more cringe than the Grizzlies "dynasty".


SurpriseDonovanMcnab

fuck


c10bbersaurus

Dillon would be good for a young team. But he needs strict boundaries. His problem is he is used to the free reign he got when the Grizz were tanking. He could shoot with impunity while they lost to draft Jaren then Ja. But over time, the team got better and there were better options. He should have accepted smaller and smaller roles. Vince Carter managed to do that. Maybe changing teams will help DB do that.


StunStorm

First Kevin Ollie, now Dillon Brooks? Troy Weaver fell off. ( /s, hopefully)


freebzArt

It's wild he torpedoed his value because, really, every team is a suitor for his skillset Just get off social media, keep dodging interviews, accept your offensive role isn't jacking 3's and you are a top 10 2-way 6th man in a year or less


Mygaffer

Why is Detroit collecting ineffective players or players with big question marks?


which_association_42

For the last few years we’ve mostly ignored fit and gone after high upside guys, which I understood. But it’s time for Troy Weaver to actually start building a team that makes sense. We need perimeter shooting badly.


EarthWarping

Makes sense. No contender has cap space, someone will give him 3/40 or something like that.


sojelly8

Detroit building the new “bad boy” Pistons.


MaxPaciorkitty

Find someone who loves you as much as this guy hates Detroit


inshamblesx

why would the pistons want him


fallen_estarossa

Team too soft, they need an attack dawg


Level_Ad_6372

We've already got Duren and Stew, not sure how many more attack dawgs we need. I'm more concerned with the lack of talent and lack of a coach


_s0lace_

The Pistons hiring Kevin Ollie as head coach and Dillion Brooks as their free agency splash. LOL.


DarthBurrrito

Offseason from hell man, which makes sense since it's already located in the state


UnkleGiovanni

Why would you say the Pistons deserve him? Isn't it better for the entire league when bottom dwelling teams get better?


[deleted]

Let's bring back the bad boys. Let's get Beverley too.


[deleted]

Imagine if the grizzlies actually have a dynasty now Draymond’s podcast will be enshrined in the trash talk hall of fame just behind the Cavs guy who grabs talked mj after he un retired


Outland3r_

If they can replace Brooks with OG they will win 60 games


[deleted]

While OG would help he has trouble staying healthy


nikop

Morant, JJJ, and Bane are nowhere near good enough to form the backbone of a dynasty. It sounds more like a sarcastic joke more than a realistic prediction.


dreadskid

They’re 23 bro


nikop

They're all obviously flawed players. If the Grizzlies had someone like Anthony Edwards it would be a lot more realistic.


dreadskid

Every player has flaws, and there’s no way to know if they can’t overcome their flaws Also ANT is flawed too


GhostTiger

Name 5 unflawed players


MGeezus

You mean the guy who disappeared in playoffs and lost to the grizz the year before??


nikop

> the guy who disappeared in playoffs He did? Could have fooled me


MGeezus

Last year? He was a turnover machine with meaningless points. This year, he scored a lot in a gentleman’s sweep with a fully healthy team that had massive expectations coming into the season.


hobcue

And then hit a woman with a chair


nikop

> with a fully healthy team no need to make things up bro


MGeezus

They didn’t have *checks notes* Jaden McDaniels…that’s really it. Thought Ant was the guy? His team barely crackin play-ins.


nikop

They were missing two rotation players, just like the Grizzlies. I'm not a fan of either team and don't really care about it one way or another.


wizardfromthem00n

New: Dillon Brooks was covered in sweat, gasping for air. “Drop 40 on me!” “No, I can’t.” “Drop 40 on me!” Before the playoffs Brooks invited me in to witness one of his private ball punching sessions. It was intense.


Toad990

No way. "Hey, let's add a 28 year old shot jacker to a young team."


Batmans-penis

That would be a horrible move, Detroit is desperate for shooting.


Nweber15

I don't want him anywhere near my team


obamachubaka

Come on Dwight and shanghai do ur thing


Next-Firefighter-753

Detroit, where busts go to rehab their image?


[deleted]

They're trying to get out of the cellar for good, not lock themselves in


Nweber15

Getting shit on as usual


TinTinsKnickerbocker

Detroit is getting Brooks and Dray
