    Just catching up with some DVR recordings, and I had to laugh at this moment from the Pistons summer league game. Silas in the background as Jabari, after the win, is literally saying, "Last year ... we didn't have an identity." Screenshot 2023-07-19 at 4.40.29 PM.png

    Silas is on the DET bench now. A team very similar to the Rockets.

    An easy barometer is by end of next year, which team has the better record.

    Minus Fred Van Vleet and the Defense of Ime Udoka.

    All depends on Cade.

    Ivey, Duren, Wiseman are raw. Ausar will be alright in his 1st year.

    13-4-4 is probably a Thompson Twin stat.

    It depends on how Silas can poison the well. (*evil smirks*)

    I doubt it, he is just a puppet, a lead assistant in name.

    They had Jarrett Jack coach most of Summer League if I remember it correctly.

    Ex NBA role players make good assistants.

    Doubtful if Rockets can make the play in. But being better than Detroit is a realistic goal. Their spacing is bad like the Rockets, but on paper we may have an edge on defensive improvement.

    As far as Silas' actual influence... It's Monty's show. The Silas take is a fun little side wager.

    They shut down Bogdanovic, but overall they were worse last year.

    Yeah, actually I was one of the people who was not that high on SIlas even after MDA exit.

    You go back in CF history and you would find the same people all over Silas body as they were on Udoka back then.

    He's not their HC though. There is a huge limiter on how much damage Silas can do on DET.

    I should put a winky face on my comments that isn't meant to be taken entirely literally. Daywalker and I flushed out the convo in later exchanges.

    SIlas is not the head coach. That would be a dumb barometer.
