I think Pistons would be wise to do this trade.
Gets them a much needed scorer and vet…. I don’t like having to give up as many picks though…

Pistons need to learn when to double team the guy who can shoot and dribble.
Stewart on the defensive slippage over the last week or two: "We haven't played to our standard on that end of the floor ... we have to look ourselves in the mirror and challenge ourselves, each and every one of us, to get better on that end."

Pistons simply can’t score tonight.
It is putrid. And unless they changes quickly, this game will be a uncompetitive loss

This game is running away from the Pistons fast.
The Pistons defense has been lousy save for a few deflections.
And the Miami Heat making Pistons paint scoring a nightmare.
It is going to be very unlikely for the Pistons to turn this around.

Maybe hard to beat Heat without Duren, or a 100% Duren.

Heat have successfully slowed down the Pistons.

If Pistons start screening for Ausar so he can drive… his scoring will rise high

Why doesn’t anyone screen for Ausar?

Ausar needs to drive when there is a lane.

Pistons need to watch for Miami going to the zone and also their own parameter defense.

The next few games, Heat tonight, and Cavs / Knicks on back to back are going to be huge in terms of the trade deadline.
Can the Pistons play without the tone setting of Tobias Harris leadership or the veteran proven reliability of LeVert?

Tobias Harris (left hip sprain) and Caris LeVert (left knee inflammation) are both out tonight. JB said he hopes to have more info on Harris’ availability beyond tonight within the next few days.

Will Pistons learn that Sasser excels as a off ball, secondary playmaker? Or will they try to force him into the PG role.

The only caveat to tonight’s great game is that Ausar.. 2 really dumb fouls. And the offense…. It is rough.
He needs to be a better ball handler and scorer at the basket. It is only going to take him out of games in playoffs.
Ausar is one of my favorite Pistons, but I see some yellow flags
