0:03.5

We talked about it yesterday.

0:04.8

How the Pistons have handled the hiring of Trajan Langdon is bizarre.

0:08.8

I mean, the idea that there is no official announcement, no team letterhead no press conference well now news today

0:16.4

he's taking care of I think the biggest part which is to throw Troy Weaver out on the

0:20.8

street on his ass and fire Troy Weaver. So okay good start. I think there's at least a level of

0:27.8

reassurance now. We can attempt to have some hope. But here's my question with Troy Weaver gone
