Good morning. Preseason tips off at 8 p.m. for the Pistons.

J.B. Bickerstaff says he has "tough decisions" to make for his rotation. “The way camp has gone, there’s not one guy out here that I can tell you doesn’t deserve to play."

Hey, on the @gametheorysamv.bsky.social substack, @motorcityhoops.bsky.social broke down Dash Daniels' game vs. the New Orleans Pelicans in Melbourne.

Thought these two plays Bryce breaks down were particularly encouraging offensive signs.

Hey, over on the @gametheorysamv.bsky.social substack, @motorcityhoops.bsky.social did a breakdown of 2026 NBA Draft prospect Karim Lopez.

Versatile player, has some mixed bag stuff defensively, but a very interesting guy to track over with the NZ Breakers.

Go over there and see the full video.

Recorded with @motorcityhoops.bsky.social for 45 minutes tonight on the Jonathan Kuminga contract. Tried to hit all of the angles.

-Clear win for GSW
-Why he couldn't take the qualifying offer
-What next? Trades? How can he fit in within GSW's scheme?
