Brooks and FVV were obvious overpays and Updoka has his problems, but those risks look to have paid off, especially with Green kicking into high gear.
Can’t tell what Monty and Tony Weavers over in Detroit doing. Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: Official sponsor of the PURE KNICKS LOVE Program

You can spend a couple of seasons going for the draft picks, but you need to move to phase 2 quickly in this league in order to establish culture, which is spending on winners. VanVleet and Brooks for all of their flaws are proven winners who can make a team buy in. Coaching is important but having leaders playing with you is more important. All Detroit has done is drafted BPA without fit in mind and assumed the parts would eventually come together, and it’s not that easy. Cunningham, Thompson, Ivey, and Hayes are all different versions of the same archetype; combo guards who are athletic but can’t really shoot and aren’t playmakers for others. Fit matters. It’s why Haliburton and Fox both broke out when they got away from each other. Detroit is a recent case study of how not to build a team. They didn’t even draft that bad outside of Hayes, but the pieces have no real chance to come together. |

I understand that its a very young team but I'm starting to think that maybe Monty isn't that good of a coach |

Detroit is just a James Harden max contract away from making the playoffs.
