    Signing Fontecchio signals the end of the off season.
    In theory we could've used up our cap space taking on bad contracts or signing free agents then once we hit the salary cap we could then exceeded the cap by signing Fontecchio because we own his Bird Rights.
    I believe we still have some cap space but again if you had plans on making additional moves you would've held off on Fontecchio.
    Having said that we took our cap space from this year 60+ and pushed half to next year + what the cap rises so we can still make a move next year.
    All in all I love what we did. Trajan feels like he knows what he's doing, I'm impressed....no panic.

      Hardaway and Beasley don't play defense and we still have no backup center and our two best defenders don't need to be guarded outside of 20 feet
      It's a much better roster even before factoring in the young guys but even IF Cade is an All-NBA level player this year -- which I don't expect -- we're going to struggle putting two-way lineups on the floor

      That's why I mentioned Cade. If he takes a huge leap and is actually as good (or close) to Trae, then ok but your offense is generally only as good as your best player.
      What matters is outscoring the other team. If you have a 115 offense and 119 defense or 111 and 115 it's the same thing.

    GREAT NEWS
    Per John Hollinger·
    Senior Writer, NBA
    It appears the Pistons might be signing Simone Fontecchio into their room exception, which is $7.98 million. Doing so would let them remove the $5.2 million cap hold on their books for him and replace it with a $1.1 million cap hold, effectively giving the Pistons $4 million in additional cap room with which to work. The Pistons would renounce his qualifying offer as part of this; depending on the exact specifics of Tobias Harris' deal, they should have about $30 million in cap room now.

    Hey Jacob! It seems to me you think Tobias Harris is going to start instead and I do too but some other Pistons fans disagree and think Isiah Stewart should. What do you think the pros and cons of starting each are? Or if you can't find time to answer this I'd love to see you cover the possible starting lineups and what you think it should be.

    • @JacobPistons
      @JacobPistons  2 місяці тому

      Hey man, I’m definitely all in on starting Tobias at the 4. Not only do I think he’s just a flat out better player at this point in time, I think his offensive creation is super important to be on the floor with Cade amongst other value he brings. But way more importantly, as of right now our only two players on the roster that are capable of playing center are Duren and Stewart, so starting them together would cause issues with rotations. There really isn’t any centers left in free agency worth minutes either. So unless a trade happens I think right now it makes the most sense to use Stew as a backup 5, which I think he’s more suited for anyways personally.

    • @ChubbTrain
      @ChubbTrain 2 місяці тому

      There is no way Duren is coming off the bench and no way u can start him and Stew. So there's the 100% answer! Duren 14pt 12reb is a monster!
