Stuckey Says Pistons ‘not on the same page’
But the Pistons — who entered this season with owner Tom Gores making publicly known that he fully expects a playoff berth — were 19-27 entering Monday’s game at the Miami Heat and in danger of missing the postseason for the fifth consecutive time.
“It seems like every year there’s new players who you’re trying to get accustomed to,” (Rodney) Stuckey told USA TODAY Sports by phone recently. “It’s just trying to figure each other out and all being on the same page. I really don’t think right now …”
He pauses ever so slightly.
“We’re not on the same page,” he continued. “It’s difficult to try to go out there and try to win games and win games consistently.”
A team that is expected to be prominent in the trade market picture, rival teams expect: The New Orleans Pelicans. The franchise is off to an uneven 5-10 start to the season. New Orleans has been receiving calls about the availability of Lonzo Ball and JJ Redick and has shown an openness to discussing trades around both with interested teams, sources tell The Athletic. A move would create a clearer pathway for young guards Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Kira Lewis in the Pelicans’ rotation.
