I suspect that while Tyrese Haliburton will, at some point next season, be close to his normal self again, I don\u2019t think that\u2019ll be on opening night. Can the Pacers play at their same suffocating pace with Ivica Zubac in the middle instead of Myles Turner? I think it\u2019s going to take a while for them to jell, and it may take more than one season.<\/p>\n<p>Tony Jones: I almost said Boston, but I\u2019m wondering what Detroit can do to improve. I believe the Pistons will keep Jalen Duren, but adding someone to help Cade Cunningham score and facilitate would be ideal.<\/p>\n<p>Eric Koreen: Don\u2019t take this to mean I believe they will finish eighth among the teams listed, but the Cavaliers did nothing to make me believe they are a serious team in the playoffs. They\u2019ve largely run it back in the offseason, save for losing Dean Wade and Keon Ellis. Until they sign LeBron James or make another alteration, I will not trust them.<\/p>\n<p>Jason Quick: Detroit. If the Pistons lose Duren, I think they lose a lot of their soul, especially with Tobias Harris also gone.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/7414827\/2026\/07\/01\/jaylen-brown-trade-analysis-brad-stevens\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Read the rest of our Jaylen Brown trade roundtable here. <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Which of the following teams do you have the least faith in at this moment: New York, Philadelphia,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":775183,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[49,48,459,82],"class_list":["post-775182","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/775182","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=775182"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/775182\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/775183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=775182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=775182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=775182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
