Laz Jackson helps break down Detroit Pistons' offseason, front office changes, NBA draft and free agency

This week, Bryce and Omari continue the conversation on team roster construction by bringing on Andrew Schlecht, executive producer and podcast host for The Athletic. The pod dives into Andrew's thoughts on the Pistons' rebuild, including a strategy on how the team could utilize their cap space to avoid “the middle." After the break, the guys zoom in on coach Monty Williams and how a lack of a clear team offensive philosophy has only further complicated rebuilding efforts. Later in the show, the guys get Schlecht’s thoughts on the upcoming draft and close out with another true or false game of “Sheed or Sham?”
