HoosierDaddy is also a Pistons fan, I believe, so I can understand how he'd be protective/resistant to ideas like this. To be fair, DET does seem to have something good going, so I kind of agree that people might not be looking to jump ship from that organization right now, even for a promotion. There might be better promotions just around the corner if they can keep that project on track a while longer.
But also, I still do NOT understand this board's fascination with Linsey. He might be great, don't get me wrong, but there is nowhere even close to the amount of evidence supporting that conclusion as what's circulated in this echo chamber on a daily basis. That is maybe the most grasping at straws thing I've ever read in this community, which is really saying something.
He happened to work here when some good moves were made. Agreed. Not all of them were good, and they tried to make some that I believe would've numbered among the team's worst deals of all-time while he was here, too. The truth is that none of us have the first clue what even his role was here. Like, at all.
