Detroit Pistons have no holes, that makes them dangerous
The Dallas Mavericks situation is a bit different than Charlotte and Phoenix because Brunson is unrestricted, but they are no less in need of keeping their player to contend. The Mavericks probably fall back into the middle of the pack of the Western Conference without him. That would not make Luka Doncic happy, and they want to keep him happy.
If any of these three teams lost their player, it would not go over well with the locker room, forget the fans.
As for those who say the Pistons do not have to go after Ayton now that they have Duren, remember how young his is. Ayton signs a four-year deal with Detroit, at the end of it, Duren will be just 22-years-old.
Weirdly, considering this team went 23-59 last year, the Pistons have no major holes in their lineup following the draft (save for a three-point threat). Weaver does not have to go out and patch a hole in the roster through free agency. He can simply look at players to improve the club.
Hey, maybe throw an offer sheet at Zach Lavine while we are at it (Nah).
But a general manager with a lot of salary cap space and no major holes in his roster to fill, could be a very dangerous man to vulnerable NBA teams. Those teams better have not done anything bad in the past to Troy Weaver, or it could be payback time.
