On this episode: Bryce and Omari cover the whirlwind of recent personnel changes made by the Detroit Pistons. First, they dig into the surprise hiring Sunday of new coach J.B. Bickerstaff. Is he the right type of coach for such a young team? Next, they break down the Tim Hardaway Jr. trade and react to the big signing of free agent Tobias Harris. What kind of influence can the vets have on the team's scoring and floor spacing needs? Late in the show, the hosts take listener questions, including what roster gaps still need to be filled with the Pistons' still holding around $24 million in cap space, plus the room exception.
