With Cheeks gone...

Should the Pistons try for the playoffs or go into tank mode to keep their draft pick in this draft?

I don't think tanking is the right decision, they are in 9th in a weak conference and are only 3 wins behind the 6th placed Wizards.. They have a real chance of closing that gap quickly if they get on a run. They gave out a big deal to Smith, a 3yr/24M deal to Jennings and already have a great developing C in Drummond a good SG prospect in KCP and  if they aren't resigning him one of the best trade chips in the league at the moment in Monroe. I think they need to see what direction new coaching takes them and make a decision from there.

If they decide to move Monroe they could get a great player in return and they may be all they need to get them int the 6th seed where they would run into teams which they definitely could compete with in Toronto and Atlanta in the first round.


I think people are too quick to want to blow it up or start tanking when things haven't gone to plan. They have a decent mix of talent on the roster and are in a position to really consolidate that talent and make a push.

I think they should go for the playoffs as well, they are knocking on the playoff door even after a tough loss to Cleveland.

Tank.

Trade Smith & Jennings.

Fire Dumars.

Come back next year with a young squad in a weak conference and start competing.

It sounds like a simple plan but evidently MJ is too stupid for the Bobcats to do that.

Nobody is taking on that salary Skippy. I agree with Sheed for coach though.
