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.

Ultimately you might be right but I think people are being quite harsh on him. He’s only just turned 22 and all of those things you have mentioned can feasibly improve over time. It still looks to me like he is trying to figure out how to put it all together which is tough when you’re on a losing team.

I could be completely wrong about him but I do think he has the talent to turn things around.
