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.

The Pistons might be the worst basketball team I've ever seen and I remember the Isiah Thomas-led Knicks

Nah, can’t beat the 14-15 Knicks where Melo was in and out of the lineup and we lost 16 straight at one point

Post LeBron Cavs part 1?

2013 bucks led by Brandon Knight and Ramon Sessions

They're on track for it, sure. Some of those 2010s lakers, sixers and knicks teams were just unconscionable. And we talk about expansions!

The bulls in the years immediately following Jordan’s retirement provides pretty stiff competition.

Makes the last dance that much more fascinating. They chose to tank because the team was too old. Maybe if Derrick rose stays healthy they look smart, but you don't blow up a team that just won 3 straight

Derrick Rose wouldn’t have made a difference even if he was healthy lol he was a drafted a decade after Jordan left. He could have been actual Michael Jordan 2.0 and the bulls would still look bad for being bad for a decade.
