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

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!

In this week's episode, Matt Way and David Fernandez discuss some of the NBA's not-so-good teams, including the Minnesota Timberwolves, Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings, Cleveland Cavaliers, and your Detroit Pistons. They take a look at what got these teams where they are, and if there is any hope (or desire) for the these teams to climb out from the league's basement floor.

Will the Rockets move Oladipo? What's wrong in Sacramento? And are the Cavaliers truly a bottom-four team? All of that will be discussed, along some more Detroit-centric topics, like...

What our thoughts are on Detroit's current point guard rotation - will the Pistons re-sign Dennis Smith Jr? And how impressed are we with Saben Lee?

Whether or not we'd like to see Josh Jackson moved into the starting lineup.

What's wrong with Jerami Grant? And is there cause for concern moving forward?

All that and more in this week's episode!
