Don't listen to the demon on your shoulder telling you that. voice-verified

It voice-verified

No, that look, the time is clearly ticking on this, we all agree. voice-verified

There's just a lot of really good teams in the East. voice-verified

And the idea that the Pistons are going to roll out with a version of the same roster plus John Collins and Isaiah Joe here or there and win 60 games again, not only is not a foregone conclusion, I would say is actively unlikely to happen. voice-verified

This is going to be a team that's quite good, that I expect to be right there in, you know, the 50 the 50s somewhere. voice-verified

I don't know exactly where, but voice-verified

They have to prove they're better than the Knicks. voice-verified

They're gonna have to prove that they can beat a veteran team like the Sixers now. voice-verified

They're gonna have to beat that they like prove they can beat the comebacks of Jason Tatum and Tyrese Halliburton and things they didn't really have to contend with on a regular basis all throughout last season. voice-verified

And so the standards are are constantly rising. voice-verified

The expectations are rising. voice-verified

And if Jalen Duran goes through another playoff in which he does that again. voice-verified

Where he is not a defensive factor, where the physicality isn't really a part of his game, where he's getting beat on the glass by other good, but not like exactly like superstar, like the Wendell Carter Juniors of the league. voice-verified

Those red flags are going to mount to a point where you are limited in your options as far as what you can do. voice-verified

And so everyone here has a lot to prove. voice-verified

I think the Pistons have have a a burden of proof as far as like putting a roster together here that can feel balanced and make sense, given the limitations of their very talented young core. voice-verified

And certainly Jalen Duran has a lot to prove to validate really whatever contract he signs, if it is of any length, of any substantial amount, like he needs to prove that that all NBA like appearance is not a fluke, that this is something that can be sustainable. voice-verified

I don't even care if he ever has like a corner three or whatever. voice-verified

I just want him to play like a big. voice-verified
