Since Saddiq Bey was traded on February 12th, 2023 the Pistons finished that season 2-23, with both wins coming against the Indiana Pacers. They have started 2-10 this season, with wins against the Hornets and Bulls.

Obviously this isn't about Saddiq but it's a wild stat nonetheless.

The Blazers are 9-30 since they helped them complete that trade.

[–] BBallHunter@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

That's really wild. Hope they turn it around soon.

[–] granttheginger@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

They really traded Bey for James Wiseman

[–] EdwEd1@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

That's what happens when your starting backcourt is Cade and Killian Hayes, 32-year-old Alec Burks has been their best guard

[–] RickyRains222@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I didn’t peep this stat… idk if most NBA analysts did either because this is bottom of the barrel sad 🫠

[–] JurgenFlippers@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Someone needs to tell me unironically why their roster is the way it is. Cade, Ivey, and Duran have big upside. But we are being subjected to 30 minutes a night of Killian Hayes and Beef Stew. It ruins the games flow and spacing. Monty needs to explain himself.

[–] fluffyjdawg@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Bojan missed a lot of these games for what it’s worth. Really wish Weaver wasn’t so into bigs and busted former lottery picks though 😩

[–] Wes_119@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

it goes as planned tho

They could do better at putting the ball in the hoop and that defense thing.

[–] IronLad420@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Asuar could be on the all-defense team as a rookie, which is a bright spot for them. He is already one of the best perimeter defenders this season.

[–] 3rdEyeDeuteranopia@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I've been a big Saddiq Bey fan since 2021 when I was watching different rookies play when trying to build arguments for why Jae'Sean Tate should be All Rookie First Team. My conclusion on Bey was that he did the things winning players do and there was no argument against him really.

I was really surprised when the Pistons traded him.

[–] Fit-Avocado-342@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Cade and Lamelo really got some of the worst rotations I’ve seen for young stars

[–] Targetonmyback07@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Not like they were setting the world on fire at 15-42 before 🤷‍♂️

[–] SG-2000@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They even lost the new draft lottery falling from 1st to 5th.

Who does that help, exactly?

[–] LotsaKwestions@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I think that knowing how things look at this point, other than if they got Wembanyama, the Pistons might have taken Ausar with even the #2 pick anyway.

[–] KryptoNike07@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

There’s a subreddit called r/PovertyPistons and it’s honestly hilarious of the amount of hate you need to make something like that but how true it is at the same time

[–] PoisonIvey313@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah Saddiq Bey made a difference 😂 that 2021 draft really got under these thunder raptors rockets and cavs fanboys skin 😂😂💀

[–] darthjamus@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago
[–] Legitimate_Secret_79@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

that was their objective

[–] ForneauCosmique@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Holy shit this has to be one of the worst stretches in history

[–] MoooonRiverrrr@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago
[–] kit_kaboodles@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't think losing Saddiq was responsible for all those loses, but it still feels like a weird decision to me.

He was only 23 when they traded him, and still possesses quite a lot of upside imo. He's also a genuine wing, and the Pistons are overloaded with young guards and bigs.

[–] Jaerba@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I don't think he really has that much upside besides being a 40% shooter. He was going to need his new contract and he's not really a 3&D.

[–] rake2204@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Four wins since February is wild.

[–] Nweber15@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I really didn't need to see this today

[–] Sad_Conclusion8488@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

So what you're saying is that the Pistons suck?

[–] rumblepony247@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

At this rate it's gonna end up at about a million dollars per win for Monty this year. What a grift - more power to him lol

[–] goblue202320242025@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It’s been a rough 15 years for my nba fandom. Thank god I at least got to see and grow up with the going to work pistons but it’s crazy how far away we are from that era

[–] SandyMandy17@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I mean they’re still very clearly in the talent acquisition phase

The rockets should be too, but they don’t own their picks

[–] Dependent-Crow-280@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Trading Bey was a terrible decision.

[–] LotsaKwestions@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

IMO, Bey is basically utterly irrelevant to the state of the Pistons.

[–] dawnofthedunk_@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is Weaver on the hot seat? Legit question. Do fans want him gone?

[–] Jaerba@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Detroit GMs are the last people who make it to the hot seat.

[–] HappyHunt1778@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah they a dogshit team I don't think they really finna improve anytime soon fr fr

[–] A-Confused-Comet@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Wasn't that due to Bojan getting injured? He was carrying Pistons last year

[–] UGLEHBWE@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Can't have shit in Detroit

[–] the_greasy_one@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Teams just don't want to win anymore.

[–] cousin_will@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Pistons have been the worst franchise in the league since Tome Gores bought the team. So sad to see a historic franchise turn into this

[–] AroundNdowN@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

God I wish someone would Sterling his ass

[–] plato4life@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Because they were so good before that.

[–] metamucil0@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I stopped following the team tbh

[–] Asking4Afren@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Bey dominated the Knicks the other night. Wish we picked him up his name was being called a few times.

[–] Shxcking@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Saddiq is a hooper it’s definitely 100% about him

[–] TdotSkunt@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

and yet everyone is still in Cade dik...he just MCW with opportunities

[–] StriveForBetter99@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Bad team for long , nba has too many teams

[–] Walticious@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I was downvoted to hell when I said Monty Williams is a bad coach

[–] Unique_Enthusiasm_57@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Other Pistons fans continue to tell me how much better this is than where we were.

Fuck that. This sucks. I've had enough. I wanna go back in time and stick with 8-seed Purgatory. I'll take Reggie Jackson, Andre Drummond and the last gasp of oxygen from Blake Griffin. I never wanted to tank. I hate it here.

[–] joeb1ow@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Lol, Imma guess that they were probably 4-33 in the games before the trade too.
