The Pindown: A Detroit Pistons Podcast

Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week's episode we talk about your 12-33 Detroit Pistons. Ben Gulker and I talk about what did - and didn't - happen at the trade deadline for the Pistons, the impact of Jerami Grant's quad contusion (just rest him, please) and Blake Griffin's heel turn in his return to Little Ceasar's Arena.

We’re only a day and a half away from the 2021 NBA Trade deadline, so you know what that means! Speculative trade conversation time!

Matt Way and I (David Fernandez) talk some official trade discussions, including the Sacramento Kings offering up Marvin Bagley for Saddiq Bey. Some trade rumors, including the Pistons “lurking” around Victor Oladipo, as reported by ESPN’s Brian Windhorst. And some trades that we straight up made up. In all likelihood these trades won’t go down, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t merit behind their utterance!

Some other trade conversations include

What it would take for Troy Weaver to trade Jerami Grant

Spencer Dinwiddie 2.0

Whether or not it’d make sense for Charlotte and Detroit to make a swap

Some under the radar guys we’d like Detroit to target

The Detroit Pistons continue to shape the roster in Troy Weaver's image, as made evident by the recent Hamidou Diallo acquisition. Now, how about Aaron Gordon? Chris Haynes from Yahoo Sports recently reported that the Pistons are one of the teams that are possibly interested in acquiring Gordon from the Orlando Magic. Does he make sense for the new-look Detroit Pistons?

Matt and David discuss their thoughts on what it'd cost to land Gordon, and if it'd be worth it.

We also discuss the following topics

Detroit's three game losing streak following the All-Star break

Killian Hayes' role once he returns to the line-up

Our thoughts on Hamidou Diallo, and how he fits with the Pistons

Svi Mykhailiuk's career in Detroit, and future in the NBA

Why are there so many triple doubles in the NBA right now?

David Fernandez and Matt Way are back for an All-Star edition of Inside The Cylinder! In this episode, we reflect on Detroit's first half of the season, and give our thoughts on why we're optimistic, maybe overly optimistic, about the Pistons future. We'll let you decide.

We also talk about why THIS team reminds us of some of our favorite Pistons teams from seasons past. We then break down the concept of Nature vs. Nurture, in a basketball sense. Translation: who do we give more credit to for the rookie's and free agency/mid-season acquisitions on-court success? Head Coach Dwane Casey, or General Manager Troy Weaver?

Lastly, we give a few bold predictions for the second half of the season.

All that and more in this week's episode!
