Pistons vs. Everybody

Lazarus Jackson (@lazchance) talked to Kyle Maggio (@KyleMaggio) about the Detroit Pistons and New York Knicks fighting at the bottom of the NBA's Eastern Conference.

That, in turn, became a discussion about power forwards, destiny written in the stars, The Knicks' Kentucky Connection, trade value charts, Troy Weaver's sense of humor, power forwards, R.J. Barrett needing space, the opportunity cost of cap space, that time Dennis Smith Jr. dropped 31 points on the Pistons, Killian Hayes preferring Detroit over New York, and much, much more.

Lazarus Jackson (@lazchance) goes solo to recap the Detroit Pistons' wild 2020 NBA Draft. In one night, the Pistons:

 Got their mythical Point Guard Of The Future

Replaced their 23-year-old super-athletic developmental point guard with a 21-year-old super-athletic developmental point guard

Traded their longest tenured player (who was till on a rookie scale deal)

Added two ground-bound defensive-minded centers

Became the unofficial NBA team of France

Maybe said goodbye to Christian Wood? 

And Laz talks about all of it, live, which leads to some... interestingly incorrect conclusions.
