The Pistons likely are dumb enough.

[u/alittleverygagged → u/someonesgranpa]

How is that a dumb move for the pistons? Get somebody competent next to Cade

[u/someonesgranpa → u/alittleverygagged]

Because Ingram isn’t worth it.

[u/alittleverygagged → u/someonesgranpa]

For them? Yes it is. It helps them move a step forward to move towards competency on the basketball court. Cade needs it

[u/someonesgranpa → u/alittleverygagged]

There aren’t enough pieces on the team to make the playoffs. You’d be better off saving 50 mil a year and hoping your first round draft pick at the same position gets as much playing time as possible. The FA market is stronger at the wing next season anyway.

You have to be hit the salary floor, cap doesn't roll over yearly. Most of the players are on rookie deals. I'd rather blow the money on Ingram for a couple years than the scrubs we've had as vets since weaver took over. Ingram could maybe unlock some young players. Maybe it's a terrible fit, I don't know. All I know is I'm sick of watching this current team.

[u/MintyFreshBreathYo → u/someonesgranpa]

We don’t get our pick next year. We might as well make a push to being competent to give our guys some winning experience

[u/alittleverygagged → u/someonesgranpa]

This isn’t 2k this is real life and real players. The pistons don’t want to be the hornets where all they know is how to lose

[u/someonesgranpa → u/alittleverygagged]

As a pistons fan, I beg to differ. We haven’t had a good team since 2008.

[u/adequacivity → u/someonesgranpa]

Ingram is the move to abort the tanking maneuver, if they think they have the parts it’s not a bad idea.

[u/someonesgranpa → u/adequacivity]

As a pistions fan, we don’t have the parts.

[u/adequacivity → u/someonesgranpa]

Then it’s a nope
