All right, we got a loaded Zach Lowe show coming up for your Thursday listening pleasure.

A couple newsy things happened after we got off with Steve Nash and Aaron Dismith. I would just address him real quick up front. Number one, Jaden Ivy underwent knee surgery. He will be re-evaluated in four weeks. Re-evaluated does not mean back in four weeks. It means reevaluated. Could end up missing a quarter of the season, 20 games-ish. I mean, four weeks would be 15 games,

round up from there. It's a significant loss for the Pistons who also lost Dennis Schrooter in the offseason. Marcus Sasser is a decent stopgap option. Karris Levert is sort of a hybrid guard. If you don't want to play Sassar, you can play Levert as a backup point guard. But, you know, the sort of formula the Pistons to sustain or improve on what they had last season was out went Schrooter, Hardaway, and Beasley.

In came Ivy back from injury, Duncan Robinson and Lavert.

I thought that was just either lateral or maybe a slight step up and all-round play.

But that required Ivy to be healthy and a starter next to Cade Cunningham. That was the plan. I think he shot 41% on catch and shoot threes last year. That's the blueprint. Second side pick and roll. Swing it. Boom. You run the offense coming off the screen fast pace. You don't get to run it, run it. That's Cade's job. You get to run it when kids on the bench, off the screen fast pace you don't get to run it run it that's

kade's job you get to run it when kade's on the bench stagger the minutes that plan goes up

and smoke a little bit and look i took the under on detroit at 46 and a half i still think they're

in a nice upward swing the wild card in that taking the under is they have the goods to make a whole

lot of trades any trade they kind of want guy like lowry marketing would fit there well we'll see i still think they're on a nice upward trend still think they're going to be a top six team in the playoffs this year but this this this opens up a little crack in that top six for someone below that you know a boston and ind Indiana, a Miami to sort of punch up with Toronto

to sort of punch up a little bit and see what happens.

But I still love Detroit.

This hurts.
