It is said that Dafan signed Joan Loyle for 4 years and $42 million

Loyle is the No. 40 pick in the second round in 2011, 208 cm tall, three or four swing men, has played in the Bucks, Cavaliers, Grizzlies, Suns, career average points per game has never exceeded 10 points, last season in the Suns played the highest career performance, 18.8 minutes per game, 8.5 points, the style of play is incomparably similar to the Pistons old Kyle Schindler, accurate shooting, but defensive holes, average physical fitness.

On July 1, 2016, the Pistons signed point guard Immels Smith for 3 years and 18 million US dollars, Smith is an ill-fated player, he was the captain and star player of Wake Forest University when he was in college, but limited by his height of 183 and extremely average physical fitness, Smith participated in the 2010 draft and no team selected him, and then the Rockets gave him the opportunity to play in the summer league, Smith signed a two-year salary with the Rockets with his outstanding performance in the summer league, and then went to the Grizzlies, Warriors, Magic, Bucks, Suns, Thunder, etc., changed ten teams in ten years, the Pistons are his eleventh team, and the continuous change of teams has not been eliminated by the NBA shows that Smith still has outstanding virtues, although Smith is not tall, and his physical fitness is average, and the defensive end is frequently targeted, but Smith has an excellent overall view, does not rob the merit or is not greedy, and the offensive end is brilliant in breaking through the small throw.

On July 7, Da Fan shot again and gave Spurs big center Boban Marjanovic a 3-year contract of 21 million US dollars, Spurs weighed it again and again, and gave up the match, Boban was the tallest player in the league at that time, reaching 221 cm, not only tall, but also with a good arm span, reaching 234 cm! And the offensive and defensive skills are very good, and he also has the ability to pass the ball in the middle, but he is limited by physical strength, which causes Boban to be unable to play on the field for a long time, and can only be used as a biological weapon to play briefly, it is said that Boban has a deep affection for the Spurs, and Boban wants to stay at the Spurs, even if the annual salary is less, but Popovich understands that the player's adolescence (money-making period) is only a few years, so he said a swear word to Boban that is still enjoyable -

"and get your big contract."

The Pistons signed three powerful players in a row within ten days, hoping to make further progress on the original lineup framework, but before the new season began, Dafan got a bad news.

The team's main defender, Reggie Jackson, will be out for 6-8 weeks due to knee tendonitis.

Tendonitis is a general term, not a single inflammation, often accompanied by a lot of complications, to put it in the vernacular, it usually aches faintly, and it stabs violently as soon as it moves, which is not a fatal injury in the athletic career like Jennings tendon tear, but it is not easy to be completely well, so you have to rely on maintenance.

Jackson can't play, only Emmels Smith is left at the No. 1 position, just as the season is about to start, veteran guard Benno Udri was cut by the Heat, and the Pistons took Udri to make up for the lack of point guard, but it is obvious that Yudri, who has reached the age of 34, is difficult to give the Pistons any substantial help.

No. 1 Smith, No. 2 Pope, No. 3 Harris, No. 4 Morris, No. 5 Drummond, what will you find, Morris Jr., who has a good three-point ability, was pushed down at the No. 4 position because of the arrival of Harris, do you want to Dafan The basic framework of the Magic back then, but the cruel fact is that Drummond, who won the league's rebounding king last season, is still far from Howard in terms of dominance on the interior offense, and the four Magic are called muskets, and the Pistons can only be regarded as birds, The accuracy is not a star and a half away from the muskets, this season, the returning Jackson's 35.9% three-point shooting rate is already the highest among starters, and it is the second highest on the team, Reggie Baroque on the bench has the highest three-point shooting rate, but it is only 38.4%, and the playing time is only 15 minutes, and the average three-pointer per game in 82 games is not enough points, Harris 34.7%, Morris Jr. 33.1%, Pope 35.0%, Not to mention Smith Jr., who is already not good at projection, with 26.7%, and the passing mark is less than ......

In the new season, Da Fan started a new journey with this poor version of the Magic team.

In the first 21 games of the season that Reggie Jackson was absent, Smith was the No. 1 starting point that Thunder couldn't beat, playing an average of 29.5 minutes per game, and was able to score 10.7 points and 6.4 assists, and only 1.6 turnovers, which was among the best in the league.

On December 4, 2016, Jackson played the first game of his comeback, played Magic, started the game for 23 minutes, scored 18 points and 4 assists on 7-of-12 shooting, and performed very well, but the Magic led by Ibaka with 21 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 4 blocks, and by the way, the Pistons lost the game 92-98, and Jackson's first game of comeback did not help the team win.

The team's main small forward Tobias Harris has suffered a left ankle injury all season, Da Fan's heart is horizontal, rather than letting him play and stop, it is better to directly recuperate from the injury, and give up the starting position to Da Fan's big baby signed this season, Jon Loyle, Harris only played 48 starts all season, Loyle played 34 starts, Harris averaged 16.1 points per game, shooting 43.1% is also very good, and both offensive and defensive, while Loyle averaged 10.2 points per game and shot 48.0% from the field , but the latter's defense was nothing short of a disaster (reference former Pistons member Kyle Schindler). The Pistons were able to score 101.3 points per game throughout the season, but they also conceded an average of 102.5 points per game.

On March 31, 2017, the Pistons played against the Bucks, and this game was a crucial game for the Pistons, as the Bulls, Heat, Pistons, and Hornets snatched the last playoff ticket, with the Pistons 35-41 and the Bucks 39-36.

At the end of the third quarter, the Pistons led by three points, and in the fourth quarter, Antetokounmpo scored 11 points in a single quarter to drag the game into overtime, and the two teams were tied in the last 50 seconds of overtime, at which point the Bucks big man Chris Middleton, the veteran abandoned by the Pistons, threw in a key three-pointer in the final 50 seconds, and the Pistons hated Milwaukee.

In the last 28 seconds of the game, DeRozan made a shot against the sky to determine the direction of the game, the Pistons lost two in a row, and also lost the hope of the playoffs this season, and in the end, the Pistons only won a 37-45 record this season, ranking tenth in the East and missing the playoffs.

Overall, the Pistons' strength on paper is still good in the relatively weak East, Da Fan has been in power for three years, only one year has entered the playoffs, and the first round was swept.

"Toot ......"

Morey: Who?

Dafan: Lei Lei, it's me, first of all, congratulations on your good play last season.

Morey: If you have something to say, just say it.

Da Fan: You don't count.

Morey: Of course it counts.

Da Fan: I knew you were a particular person, you forgot the year before last, you told me to let me sign Royle, when I don't want to use it, you will use Elikor Gordon to return it to me, oops, I am really reluctant to use Royle, but there is no way, I have to train young players, for the sake of our good relationship, let you pick up this big bargain.

Morey: Well, no problem, I think it counts.

Da Fan was ecstatic: When will the contract be finalized?

Morey: I'll submit the trade to the league tomorrow.

The next day, Dafan received a transaction application from the alliance.

Gordon Garryne Anderson, trading Loyl G. Drummond.

Da Fan spat out a mouthful of blood, pointed at the computer and scolded,

"Morey, you birdman, the old man has never seen such a brazen person as you!"

In fact, Loyle came to the Rockets when he traded with the Bucks in order to clean up Derembert's big contract......

On July 7, 2017, Da Fan made his first trade of the summer, sending Ma Dongmei to the Celtics, where he got Avery Bradley and a second-round pick.

Bradley is the last orphan of the Celtics' old Big Three, 188 cm tall, the No. 1 position, known for his iron-blooded defense, and he wrote two words on his face - dissatisfied, although his height is not dominant, but he is talented and resolute, and he tried to block LeBron James in the playoffs last year. But the Celtics are also struggling this season, the newly introduced Hayward and Thomas Jr. and Bradley in the team are all contract years, and they all have to have big contracts.

Do you think Dafan is earning, in fact, you are wrong!

Bradley, who was introduced by Dafan, directly led to the departure of his old teammate Pope!

Pope, the player, has no major problems, balanced offense and defense, and has also practiced three-point shots and free throws in recent years, with an average of 13+ defensive skills per game in the general team as a three-leader without pressure, this year's room Popde's contract year, Pop's agent originally wanted to take advantage of the TV broadcast player contract premium to ask for a long-term contract with an average salary of $20 million, this price was not too much at the time, but the problem is that the Pistons originally gave Pope a restricted free agent, and the salary space reached 27 million, It is clear that it will match the contracts offered by other teams, but the problem is that the team was not in a hurry to renew the contract with Pope at the beginning, but renewed Galloway with a 2-year contract of 14 million, which directly locked up the salary space of 7 million, after the team introduced Bradley, Bradley's annual salary in the last year was 8.81 million, and Ma Dongmei's annual salary was 5 million

was compressed by 3.8 million, resulting in only about 17 million contracts for Pope, and what is even more speechless is that before Pope said anything here, Dafan over there has withdrawn his qualification offer for Pope and completely let Pope go, which is equivalent to Dafan using Pope and Ma Dongmei, two starters last season, in exchange for Bradley.

The most pity is that Pope has nothing wrong with him, and his skills have been growing steadily in four years, but he was inexplicably abandoned by Dafan, and finally Pope signed with the Lakers for 18 million a year, and the Pistons watched Pop leave.

Pope's departure shows that Dafan's vision as a management is still limited, and the management with mediocre qualifications, even if it is an ordinary management, will plan the team's building route, and will not let go of the players who have a very good transaction value in the last year of the contract, at least they will get some returns, but the Pistons have not gotten it, which makes the team owner Ghosn have a trace of dissatisfaction with Dafan, and all the treasures of Dafan are pressed on Bradley.

This trade is almost all of the Pistons' trade in 2017, and then there was no movement, after Ma Dongmei and Pope left, Stanley Johnson came to the top and played the starting No. 4 position, the No. 1 and No. 2 positions were Bradley and Reggie Jackson mixed doubles, the No. 3 position was still Harris, the No. 5 position was Drummond, and the bench was Galloway, Smith Jr., Jon Loyle and Boban.

Speaking of Boban, coming to the Pistons is really blind, he is not valued in the Pistons at all, he only played 8.3 minutes per game last season, and he is completely the team's mascot......

On October 18, 2017, the Pistons beat the Hornets 102-90 at home to usher in a good start, Harris scored 27 points and 10 rebounds on 11-of-18 shooting, Bradley scored 15 points on 7-of-10 shooting, and Galloway contributed an impressive 16 points, 4 rebounds and 3 steals off the bench.

After Bradley joined the Pistons, he took the Pistons' defense to a new level, with Drummond on the inside and Avery on the outside - I don't think you should be good - Bradley, the Pistons won 10 of the first 13 games, and Bradley averaged 17 points per game in those 13 games. In Game 14, the Pistons were ended with a four-game winning streak, do you know who ended the Pistons' winning streak? Bucks, hey, it's the Bucks again, it doesn't matter if the Bucks are the Bucks, the key is that Middleton broke out again, scoring 27 points on 12-of-21 shooting, piggybacking on 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals.

What's even more annoying is still to come, the Pistons, which had a good momentum, suddenly suffered a wave of seven consecutive defeats, no injuries or illnesses, and there was no discord, just an inexplicable crazy loss, and more importantly, you can't find who is playing badly, everyone played in the past, but they just don't win! The eighth game against the Hawks finally won, and the Pacers, the Magic ushered in a three-game winning streak, which was finally on the right track, just two games later, playing the Pacers, Reggie Jackson suffered a third-degree sprained right ankle in the game and was out of action for two months......

Without Reggie Jackson, the Pistons' biggest loss is the three-point shot, Jackson has a strong breakthrough ability, and the breakthrough points that the Pistons have practiced in the past two years are quite effective, but Smith, who replaced Jackson, does not have such ability, Jackson's 32 games before the injury, the Pistons' three-point shooting rate was 38.10%, and the 37 games after the injury (not counting the games after the comeback, Jackson basically played less than 20 minutes after the comeback, and the reference sample was too small) was 36.50%, It's down 1.6 points, don't underestimate the 1.6 points, which is equivalent to one less three-pointer per game for the Pistons, but Smith Jr.'s overall view is better than Jackson's, and the number of assists has increased from 21.8 before the injury to 22.8%, which is a direct increase of 1 percentage point, so because Jackson scored less three-pointers, it was made up by Smith Jr.'s assists, which is why he preferred Smith Jr. in the late stage of Fan taking charge of the Pistons, that is, in the second half of last season.

Not only that, but in January 2018, the Pistons, who had a good momentum, suffered another blow when Stanley Johnson was sidelined for two weeks due to a hip injury, and the Pistons immediately lost eight in a row......

Time saw that in January 2018, the Pistons were 22-28 and saw that they were going to say goodbye to the playoffs again, and at this time, Dafan quietly completed a deal, which shocked the whole league!
