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 comparison to Houston is spot on. Both came into the off-season with young talent and needing a new coach. Houston “overpaid” on players who were actually successful veterans in the league. Detroit picked up young players who only have “potential” because of when they were drafted. Obviously it’s easy to tell which team was going to have more success. I don’t understand how some of these GMs don’t have much common sense thinking

Im fine with punting our cap space to next year. If our vets werent hurt we wouldnt look nearly as pathetic. Meh rebuilds with no assets take a long time
