The Pistons

the worst that can happen is that he doesnt re-sign.. we still have jennings stored for next season.. tayshaun is likely gnna start at SF now.. maybe reggie performs really well with us and is involved in a sign and trade and we get value back for him.. your already assuming there not gnna make the playoffs.. anything can happen

 Reggies Jackson is a bit of gunner and volume shooter. He plays similar to Westbrook, but is not as good as Westbrook at what he does. It’s going to be interesting to see what direction SVG takes with him.

Yep that’s bad.

Reggie is not a PG by any stretch of the imagination, a flashy lead guard without 3 pt shooting, he didn’t know his limitations.

Should play with a true facilitator, a point foward, another lead guard, or a "superstar".

Reggie should have been a lead guard for hayward, paul george, kobe or melo.

Not the pistons, their poor baskteball IQ and no other lead guard, facilitator, point forward, nor "superstar".

 While I don’t think Jackson is worth over $12mil a year (but he will probably get it)  he is a good player. He has shown in a limited sample size when starting for OKC that he can run a team and put up good numbers. I know there’s more to winning than putting up numbers but I honestly think Detroit is a good situation for him. 

Worst case scenario for the pistons is he takes the QO like Monroe. Otherwise he prices himself out of the market by signing a max deal which the Pistons definitely should NOT match. 

By the way, can anyone confirm we actually signed a SF who isn’t old and busted in Quincy Miller? I heard that somewhere and was looking for confirmation. Otherwise, it’s Dads army on the wings with Butler and Prince.

Everybody assumes Jackson is getting a big fat contract as a RFA. I doubt that however, as I see very few teams willing to actually sign Jackson to a large contract to become their PG of the future. In fact, I only see the Knicks or the Lakers (less profound) taking an aim at him making it reasonable to expect their won’t be a massive bidding war for this guy. Considering either the Knicks or the Lakers could pick up a PG in the draft (Mudiay/Russell) his market becomes even smaller. I would say Jackson could get a little bit more than Isaiah Thomas money (around $32-36 for 4 years maybe?) which would be an amount the Pistons might actually match.

 DJ has been playing fantastic however he is not a starter in this league. He is too small to play good defense for starter minutes and his production offensively is good when he’s on. Brandon Jennings played like an all star this year after Smith left- something I feel like DJ cannot provide night in and night out. Now, the dilemma is how are they going to approach this impending RFA of Jackson and Achilles Injury of Brandon. I just cant see a scenario where they keep both- both a streak shooters which does not help the team that needs spacing (Monroe and Drummond take up space) and a system that basically run pick&roll (again spacing is important). Plus it’s been reported that Jackson, as good as he is offensively, he gives terrible effort on defense and wants STARTER minutes. I don’t see Jennings moving over to the bench (see his comments after SVG gave DJ starter minutes earlier this season). I predict that they’ll let Jennings go because no one can predict how good he’ll be after a severe injury and will regret it soon after. Jennings is good defensively when he wants to be and not to mention he’s not known as a head case like Jackson. It’s just sad as a Pistons fan to see him go, after all the hard work in the off season and playing at a high level while (almost) leading this hard working Pistons to a playoff berth.
