It is time Detroit Pistons fans come to terms with what this disastrous and depressing season of basketball is all about. It’s not wins and losses or putting the most effective starting five on the floor. It is maximizing the role of Jaden Ivey in the present to maximize the potential of Jaden Ivey’s future.
I’m not saying that is a decree Troy Weaver has sent on high to the coaches on Detroit’s sidelines. I’m saying it appears that the Pistons have taken a collective look around and determined that what would be best for Detroit this time next year and potentially for years to come is throwing everything at Ivey, and then giving him even more.
