## Resource

In hour two, the guys react to Pistons president Trajan Langdon's comments about the team's future, breaking down why building around an offensively limited "core" will only hold Cade Cunningham back. They also critique a broader trend in Detroit sports culture of settling for nostalgia and mediocrity instead of making aggressive moves to build a true contender.
