The Detroit Pistons are 4-37 since last year’s trade deadline. That is an 8 win pace for an 82 game season which would be the worse record in history. (alien.top)

The Pistons are in year 4 of their rebuild (some would say they’ve been rebuilding since the Drummond draft), and currently seem to be taking steps backwards with their young core.

Cade is currently the least efficient player to average 20+ ppg in the league & Monty has been questionable with his coaching patterns. Their 2020 draft where they selected Hayes, Stewart, & Bey, has been a failure considering who was available on the board. They had similar cap money to Houston this off-season & instead of adding quality vets to help their core, they took on expiring contracts for players that aren’t even in the rotation.

There is no doubt they are the “black eye” of the league, & have been for some time.

Nah I thought it was going to be a great hire (and it honestly still could be)

The culture Monty established in Phoenix was imperative to our success. Then again, maybe it was just the personnel.

Exactly this, Monty wasn’t hired to take the pistons to the the championship overnight, he was hired to change the culture and teach the young guys how to win like he did in Phoenix. That takes time especially when he’s brought into the worst roster in the league.

They just aren’t going to win with Cade chuckingham playing historically badly for a high usage player

Cade has one season with over 16 games in his career which was his rookie season. I’m 100% sure his efficiency will go up when the roster isn’t bottom last in talent. He’s a natural playmaker with no one to pass to
