ESPN’s Vinnie Goodwill revealed that the Detroit Pistons were linked to four major stars during free agency: Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Kyrie Irving and Austin Reaves.
In this episode, we break down Detroit’s reported interest in each player, why none of those moves ultimately happened and whether any of them realistically made sense alongside Cade Cunningham and the Pistons’ young core.
We also discuss the possibility of the Sacramento Kings buying out Zach LaVine. Could the former All-Star become an affordable scoring option for Detroit, or would his defense, injury history and overall fit make him too much of a risk?
Finally, we react to a new picture of Ausar Thompson boxing during an offseason workout. Ausar looks absolutely jacked, and we discuss what his physical development could mean for his defense, finishing ability and overall growth next season. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
