@omarisankofa What do you think the playoff rotation will be?

Putting together an end-of-season Pistons mailbag. Shoot me any questions you have.

@Tuff__Crowd @Hoopmixtape Makes sense, in the clip he said 07 so I thought the math was off

@VMwhatuptho @Hoopmixtape I was 16 that summer 06/07. I went to oak hill right after this starting my Jr year.

16 year old Brandon Jennings (@Tuff__Crowd) back in the day showing out at the '07 Bob Gibbons Tournament w SCA.

@RomeovilleKid FREE AR

Daniel Jones is the #Colts’ leader. Riley Leonard is the backup. Anthony Richardson Sr. … “We’ll see where all that goes.” Indy hitched its wagon to Jones, the tough yet injury-prone QB who has won over the front office and locker room. Here’s why. nytimes.com/athletic/71616…

@CameronSym10 NFL don’t travel enough to make it an issue. KC would have to play in Jax one time in 8 years or some shit

Could you imagine Patrick Mahomes saying in public on video “Get the Jaguars out of Jacksonville. Just move them to Orlando already.” NBA feels like the only league where talk like this is ok.

@GeryWoelfel He can opt out after next season. No team is going to trade everything for one year so he does have leverage

After all the things the Bucks have done over the last decade to accommodate Giannis Antetokounmpo, from having significant input on coaches and players decisions, he now has the audacity to publicly bash his bosses. Antetokounmpo once again showed his immaturity yesterday when he talked about the Bucks’ decision to not play him in absolutely meaningless games and about his dicey future in Milwaukee: “It’s like a slap in my face. So I don’t know where the relationship (with the Bucks brass) goes from there.” If I was Bucks management, instead of once again accommodating this self-absorbed and ungrateful employee by trading him to one of his desired destination places like NY or LA or Miami, I’d Fed X him to Memphis or New Orleans or Washington. He could then play to his heart’s content on an abysmal team in front of a near-empty arena and before a fan base that really doesn’t give a damn about the NBA. Maybe then, he’d come to his senses and realize just good he had it in Milwaukee.

@ToneGully This reporter isn’t legit

No it’s not fair. He is being developed and excelling in his current role. No one is wondering is his getting traded. Keep doing your thing Zacc

@Betsycashmoney Assuming it makes Giannis feel better about demanding a trade this summer

This might be an unpopular take, but I have to be honest with yall: I really don't understand why he's so mad about this... They were eliminated from the postseason. What MATERIAL benefit could come from playing these last 9gms?

@AndrewDBailey If the league gave it to LeBron when it was in question why wouldn’t they do the same thing here

Cooper Flagg has a higher ceiling than Kon Knueppel. Knueppel had an objectively better rookie season. It’s fine to acknowledge both.

@NBA__Courtside Facts perk. Luka and Reaves will never win a championship. Luka needs a legit number 2 option

Kendrick Perkins GOES IN on the Lakers 😬 “When I look at the Lakers, they’re a 2nd round exit, that’s their ceiling…. The Lakers don’t scare a soul. Even on Halloween…. Last night showed me if you’re the Lakers, you cannot invest all your money into Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic as your two franchise guys going forward if you’re expecting to win a championship” (Via @FirstTake)

@PistonOfTheDay The irony of his amazing play since Cade been injured is the opportunity will not be there on this team when he comes back. His role is completely different. I don’t see the fit next to Cade

At some point, we have to discuss whether he is the long term guard next to Cade.

@JayKnicky Got paid. Started to relax

Dude I’m watching old Mikal tape (Brooklyn & Phoenix) and I need to know what happened to this man’s confidence. He was really a BUCKET and was way more aggressive. There’s no way that player is just gone!

@ClayTravis You’re not even a casual NBA fan. Stfu already. Cade has been out weeks for a collapsed lung moron

Garbage product. Wild stats below. NBA star players can’t even be bothered to play in big games.

@SamQuinnCBS He wouldn’t have done what Eli did because Eli hadn’t done it yet

It's two-plus decades ago, who knows what would've gone through his head. But he would've been insane to do this. If Memphis wins that lottery LeBron joins a Jerry West-run team with young Pau, Mike Miller and Shane Battier. He wins mutliple titles before 2010 free agency.

@ClayTravis I don’t think you can get denied if you apply at ole miss

I’m a Vandy alum, Marcus, but thanks for letting me know about the school. The truth is this, every SEC school — and many Southern schools overall — are surging in popularity. All of them are seeing applications soar and admit rates plummet from Vandy to Ole Miss.

@Charlottean28 They had HD in 2006. Why does this clip look like it’s from 1986

20 years ago, today: Down 17 points in the first half against the 7 seconds or less Suns, the Pistons imposed their halfcourt offense in the 2nd half. They shot 58% and blitzed Phoenix 60-39, as the Pistons clinched the #1 seed in the East with their 59th win:

@Tuff__Crowd Why would you even want him starting instead of the number one pick

He better get us to the playoffs

@espn @AdamSchefter You pay this guy 20m to start for a bad team instead of the number 1 pick?

Kirk Cousins will sign a five-year, $172M deal with the Las Vegas Raiders that in reality is a one-year, fully-guaranteed $20 million deal that also contains a club option for two years at $80M, per @AdamSchefter.

@Colts_Coverage Entire organization is a disgrace

Former #Colts star LB Shaquille Leonard opens up about the ending of his Colts tenure and the feeling of betrayal by former DC Gus Bradley.

@paulpierce34 Shaheen Holloway was a year older than you and was part of 96 class 😂
