The Pindown: A Detroit Pistons Podcast

This week, Ben and Sham talk changes. After seven and a half years, Andre Drummond is no longer a member of the Detroit Pistons, and for the first time in nearly two decades, the Pistons seem committed to a full rebuild.

Ben and Sham discuss the the trade and what they hope to see in the short-term as the Pistons begin the rebuild process, including which current players should be part of the core moving forward.

They also talk about what stood out in the first two games of the new-look Pistons, and what to expect this week in Detroit basketball.

We have reached the familiar moment in the season with our Pistons showing flashes while sitting just outside of the playoffs. We discuss potential trade rumors as well as the potential to stay put and see how things play out.

The Andre Drummond trade talks have died down, so what will happen this off-season? Is the Drummond-era truly over? Derrick Rose’s value is now highly coveted by contending teams, but remains high for the Pistons as well. What direction do we see the Pistons moving in?

And we’ll talk more about Reggie Jackson’s return and what that means for the line-up, especially with Derrick Rose playing so well.

All that and more in this week’s episode!

Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week's podcast, we're talking about your 14-26 Detroit Pistons. Ben Gulker lets me fire off my hot take about Derrick Rose, then we talk about how the team is handling Sekou Doumbouya and exiling Andre Drummond to basketball Siberia. This mid-season adjustment to a rebuild has thrown fans, the coaches, and front office for a loop - but that means the Pistons have to steer into the skid, and playing Derrick Rose 30 minutes a night doesn't help that.

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Detroit Bad Boys’ own Shameek Mohile! We’ll discuss what Detroit should do with a winnable schedule approaching. They’re only 3.5 games back of the eight seed in the East, and will face off against 13 teams with losing records, in their next 17 games.

We’ll also break down the Blake Griffin situation, and discuss why it’s almost a guarantee that he’ll be shut down for the remainder of the season. With Blake Griffin on the bench, that’s given rise to DR. DOOM aka Sekou Doumbouya - we’ll cover what’s impressed us so far with the rookie.

And last, but certainly not least - we’ll tackle the 6’11 elephant in the room - Andre Drummond. It’s almost a guarantee that he’ll be traded in the next month - what should Detroit expect in return? Who’s a realistic trading partner? And what does a trade mean for the Pistons’ near future?

All that and more in this week’s episode!
