Very cooperative (leaked his demand to the media and then demanded to be traded to a select few teams) and professional (refusing to play hockey for the team he willingly signed a contract with, which is literally his profession)
Statement from Pat Brisson, agent for Dylan Larkin, regarding his client deciding not to play while awaiting a trade: “Dylan’s had enough of the situation. We believe he’s been very professional and cooperative through this process.”

Fuck man, Patrick Stewart??? Don’t think a celebrity death has hit me like this since Bourdain. Damn.

He became a hero to my son in that moment and you made his dream alive. @DetroitPistons are first class top down organization. Nothing like seeing my guy smile and believe. THANK YOU
Cade Cunningham invited a young fan from the stands to help him with pre-game warmup shots. Absolute class act, man. (via @JacobHRichman)

Sounds ridiculous to say, but the thing that's been hardest for me since moving to Italy isnt missing people back in America, or the language barrier, it's not being able to keep up with watching the NBA to the same level I usually do.

Keep going Haley, you can embarrass yourself even more than this. I know your boyfriend is voting for Mike Rogers, maybe he should get up on stage at a Trump rally next!
Haley Stevens on voting for Abdul El-Sayed: "I still very much want our Democratic nominee, his name is Abdul, to win this race. There is so much on the line. But I will be honest, there are a lot of voters in Michigan, I was out knocking doors earlier today, and they are still undecided and they are hurt and they are confused..."

When youre playing small with Collins, or you have Paul Reed on the floor, absolutely. The issue is what you do when both he and Duren are out there.
This is such a great way to take advantage of defenses playing off of Ausar 1) Fade Duncan to the spot next to Ausar 2) Immediately run a DHO to force Ausar’s defender to contest Duncan’s shot 3) Hit Ausar on the roll if Duncan doesn’t have an open shot More of this in the offense, please!

Percentages. Do. Not. Matter. NBA teams will never treat you like a threat if you dont have the volume to force them to respect you. Isaiah Stewart's three point shooting is a perfect example of this. Ausar simply must attempt multiple midrange jumpers every single game.
Ausar Thompson says he must be more aggressive seeking his shot early when defenses play off him. Ausar Thompson: “When teams play off, I gotta do that off-rep, not wait until we're down 20 to start doing that. They don't see me as a threat.” (via @omarisankofa)

This is my entire reasoning behind my belief the Pistons are set up to contend if they make a move for a second shot creator. They have the three point volume this year that they didn’t last season. If they get that second star, teams can’t overplay any aspect of their offense

Kind of glad the Pistons went as cold as they did against New York last night, we can move off of the "unsustainable shooting" narrative early and focus on the actual pros and cons of this team.

Im not really a big Hasan guy, but seeing all the bad faith crap thrown at him over the past couple years by scumbags like Ethan Klein and Scott Jennings start to fall apart in the span of a couple days is extremely gratifying

Starting to think the Pistons may never get Malik Beasley back…
Former NBA player Malik Beasley will enter a guilty plea on Dec. 9 with the Department of Justice over his role in bribery and betting scheme on his NBA play, his attorney Steve Haney tells ESPN.

First Franz, now Yaxel. I gotta stop underrating these guys who come into the league who are already above average at everything. Having one elite tool just isn’t as valuable as it used to be.

The Detroit Pistons have been 1st in the East since November 7, 2025. No was has overtaken them for nearly one full calendar year in the regular season standings.

The offensive overhaul is why I think this is the year for Trajan Langdon to take a big swing at the trade deadline. This team is better than last year’s team, you have a legit shot to get to the Finals imo
The Pistons are going to win a ton of games again this year and everyone will just call them regular season try-hards The reality is they completely overhauled their offense and it’s pretty obvious if you watch them for even a quarter

The “no spacing did nothing to address their issues this offseason” Pistons are 3-0 with the 4th most made threes per game of any team in the NBA. Will any of the dummies who got it so wrong in their season previews recognize how little they understand basketball? I doubt it!

90% of the NBA twitter/podcast space is still living in 2016. You can’t properly analyze the NBA if you aren’t willing to change with the same rapidity the league does
