I think our guy Peta had the magic in the finals.

I'm still in play.

Anyway, Cade is only 24.

Jalen Dern's only 22.

Sar Thompson's 23.

danis jenkins who's become this really important player out of nowhere this season's only 24 like these guys are still really new and again like there's more to it than that i i started wondering like you know it's been a long time since we talked about who they lost after last year but like they could use malik beasley right around now and his shooting uh runner-up for six man of the year a year ago dennis schruder tim hardaway jr like that was their bench like they lost some really important vets who could shoot

And in Schroeder's case, you know, play some D. The Pistons are shooting terribly from three.

Like Cade's doing his job.

Cade's averaging 31 points and eight assists in this series.

But he's just got no support whatsoever.

And outside of Duncan Robinson, nobody can make a three point shot.

So to Raj's point about like the spacing and everything.

Yeah, terrible.

Yeah, I mean, I don't think that this is a team that will panic because they have shown they're willing to be patient and let their young guys grow, maybe almost to a fault.

You know, could they have been the ones to chase Io DeSumo or somebody like, you know, like...

They stood pat and they changed out a few pieces last summer.

We mentioned some of the vets that they lost and they bring in Duncan Robinson and Karis LeVert.

They've been content to kind of play around the edges.

I do think it's time to start seriously considering whatever happens with Duren and his extension.

I'm sure they'll resign him.
