Episode 232: The Desmond Bane Trade (or: do the Pistons need to make a move themselves?) & Jalen Duren Season Review

This episode, featuring Zariq of RealBullyBall, recaps the Pistons' free agency journey so far.

This episode recaps the Pistons' quiet participation in the draft, discusses transactions around the league, laughs at Troy Weaver, and more.

This episode opines on the Desmond Bane trade to Orlando, how the Magic's current position compares to that of the Pistons, and whether or not the Pistons need to make moves of their own to keep up in the East, then reviews Jalen Duren's 2024-2025 season.

This episode visits a variety of Pistons and NBA-related topics that the host himself, posting this episode four days after recording it, cannot remember in their totality.   Recorded on Friday, June 6.

This episode addresses some common suggested trade targets for the Pistons, and sadly concludes that none of them are viable.    Recorded on 5/24. Correction about the Suns: they've got three picks between now and 2032, though none are their own and all are least-favorables.

This episode follows a listener-submitted episode suggestion regarding whether the Pistons should run back the current roster for next season or explore other options.

This episode discusses postseason takeaways and the end of an unexpectedly rich season for the Pistons.

This episode previews the fast-approaching first-round matchup between the Pistons and the Knicks. (Reuploaded with some added analysis at the end.)   Apologies for the extended hiatus!

This episode focuses chiefly upon the relative importance of each member of the young core -- Cade, Ivey, Ausar, Duren, and Stewart (oops, forgot about Holland!) -- to the team's present and future. 

This episode attempts to make up for lost time by discussing the events of the past two months.
