No, what the Pistons need is to get a superstar at some point. He can play literally any position, because you build around a superstar. And no position on the pistons is locked up right now. Detroit’s best players are Monroe, Stuckey, and maybe Knight. Only Knight has the potential to lock up a position because I can’t see him being a great SG. But while he has nice upside, probably not superstar upside. I am hoping to be wrong though.

aiming for a lottery pick is fine, but that lottery pick needs to be a 5. we still need a solid 3 in our rebuilding process, which is Jerebko + a veteran

its all about opportunity cost, id rather have Prince than Kaman… daye cant defend like a 3 yet, he is a 2. jereb ko is the only suitable 3 other than Prince or Mc&rady. singler is in spain. you would have to keep Jerbko and either:tay, tmac, ak47 or luc mbuah

I’m with Laser on this one we need to explore all the options and choose the best one for our team. Having precious little faith in Austin Daye the idea of both Tayshaun Prince and Tracy McGrady leaving means we’re aiming for a lottery pick. I’m okay with that but I’d prefer we get something back for Prince if we can or keep him if we can dump our garbage (Ben Gordon).

I hope Prince goes to a contender. He still has a lot to give, but we need to develop Daye, Jonas and singler.

I think it’s time let Tay go, keep Jerebko and see if Daye is ready to be the answer at small forward. That is our best option. Detroit is not going to sign an impact free agent anytime soon. Either we find out they’re some hidden studs on the roster, or things go bad and we draft our next star player.

the last two comments are spectacularly ignorant. “move on. it’s a new era. why bother thinking things through and trying to make the most of our available options?”

I agree that they shouldn’t re-sign Prince, but they aren’t stacked at the SF position. Prince, McGrady and Jerebko are all FAs and Singler is staying overseas, so the only SF on the roster technically is Daye.
