drafted 5, 5, 1, 7 and 15 in the last 5 drafts. gotta feel for pistons fans
Don’t forget, they also have the 2nd overall pick from the 2018 draft
also traded for two #2 picks
How do you have that many lottery picks and miss on every single one...? lol the entire front office should be fired...holt shit man lol
I feel for Detroit fans, that would be rough!
I too remember when our sub thought all it took is consistent tanking to get back into the promise land.
The lottery really needs to go. I'm surprised there's as much support for it as there is considering how blatant the league is with fixing it.
They should've been picking 1st, 3rd, 2nd, 5th, and 15th. They'll probably tank the rest of the year but lose the 1st ovr to the Blazers or something cause the league has an obsession with rewarding bad teams for chasing off their stars
I’ve seen so many people claim the lottery being fixed but no one’s yet to give even a plausible explanation on how it could be rigged. They literally post the entire process from start to finish, uncut, in front of team representatives onto YouTube, clearly explaining the process and how it works. I’m happy to be proven wrong if it is fixed but I’ve not seen a single reasonable theory as to how the process can be rigged. It’s a game of chance, sometimes it really goes your way, sometimes you get screwed over badly.
I think they need to change the lottery but not get ride of it
Here's what I would do if I was in charge:
- A team can't be in the lottery more than three years in a row
- You can trade your lottery pick in the 4th year and the team you trade the pick to can still be in the lottery but you can't, so if you land the 1st overall pick in the 4th year, you get knocked down to the 16th pick OR you can trade the 1st overall pick to another team for players
That would force a team like Detroit to get more creative in their team-building strategy, they would be forced to make trades, sign guys in free agency etc. in order to build out a proper roster
That's my take
