All-Star Jimmy Butler participated in Minnesota's practice, a session that included him verbally challenging teammates, coaches and front office, league sources told ESPN. Butler was vociferous and emotional at times, targeting Thibodeau/Layden/Towns/Wiggins. Story soon on ESPN.

Cade Cunningham out-duels MVP candidate Joel Embiid in leading the league-worst Pistons to a win over the 76ers. Pretty good for the third-best rookie in the NBA, amirite?

I don't know if it means anything — we knew Cade Cunningham had great leadership qualities — but the fact that he, the 20 y/o rookie, was the only Piston trying to calm Stew down says a lot about this roster and more about Cade's future as its alpha.

Saw some "is this rock bottom?" talk regarding the Pistons. They're there. Since 2021, they have the worst win percentage in major American pro sports, by a lot:

I love Jalen Brunson — mostly because I love every Villanova guy in the NBA — but a Pistons' lineup with Brunson, Cade, Bey, Jabari Smith and Stew would be undermanned athletically every time they hit the floor together. That would be problematic.

The Pistons could trade for Dorian Finney-Smith and Andre Drummond right now, give up very little in long-term value, and be tangibly better. Just normal bad. Not historically bad. That's how thin the line is.

I've often said the Pistons had the least on-court swagger and persona in the NBA under Troy Weaver. Maybe that was a reflection of the GM, but they were bad AND boring af.
Guys like Malik Beasley, however, are automatic increasers of vibes:

I love Isaiah Stewart — I really do — but he's not getting any taller nor is he getting any more bouncy. Pistons need to figure out how to stretch his game to the 3-point line or he's destined to be a low-ceiling player.

Pistons are as close to a perfect tank thus far as we could hope for:
- lose most games, but always competitive to the bitter end
- the few good young players are playing + doing good stuff
- young FA acquisition blossoming into star despite losses

All the Pistons need to do is win 19 more games this season for Troy Weaver to stave off Stu Jackson as the worst GM to ever lead an NBA team for 4+ years. Jackson went 78-300 leading the expansion Vancouver Grizzlies while Weaver is 62-185 in his "restoration" of the Pistons.

I'm a Marcus Sasser guy in a vacuum, but I'm basically penciling him in as a fifth guard in any potential Pistons rotation. Just don't see where he fits on a still-messy roster. I think he's awesome on a good team, though.

IMO, this is the result of a fanbase whose younger/newer generation has never experienced what it's like to be a good, functioning franchise. Patience is hard when you don't know what good is/improvement is linear, so when guys aren't stars quick they "suck."
I’ve been a Pistons fan for 13+ years.
Isaiah Stewart and Killian Hayes are the first players I’ve ever witnessed other Pistons fans hate getting better and have more fun seeing them struggle and have bad games. Ass backwards.

It's weird that all the commentary around the Tobias Harris signing frames him as being this me-first player who just wants to show how he can score. I've watched him for like a decade and have never thought of him as a selfish, gimme-the-ball-and-get-the-hell-out-of-my-way guy.
