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 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.
