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.

They traded Bey for peanuts. 24 year old forward that could actually shoot and defend. Any proper team would fire their GM into the sun after that. Until they get a superstar in the draft they will keep being the worst team in the league.

[–] stu21@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

He can shoot but watching him on the Hawks, I am not convinced he can defend.

Wizards vs Pistons might be the most sicko game of all time.

My Super Bowl, I’m genuinely so excited

He only JUST got upgraded to starting over Killian Hayes lol

[–] BucksIsLife@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Honestly, out of all the young players who have impressed me, Cade Cunningham is not it. I get that it was overall a so-so draft, but he has been very underwhelming.

Lol rockets fans have their first good year since Harden left and immediately use it to shit on the pistons who they’ve been neck and neck with the last 3 years

[–] MintyFreshBreathYo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

OP is a clown. All he does is talk shit about the Pistons. He’s somehow convinced himself that we have some kind of blood rivalry with the Rockers

[–] _s0lace_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Piston fans crying wolf when all they did was talk shit about a team in a similar position, despite being worse, is hilarious. This season couldn’t have started any better!

[–] MintyFreshBreathYo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The only shit we ever talked was us laughing at Jalen Green for claiming he never wanted to come to Detroit because our night life sucks after he literally begged to be the #1 pick

[–] _s0lace_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We both know that’s not true. Just go to r/PovertyPistons to see the poorly aged takes & jokes made by Piston fans. Bottom tier core. Bottom tier rebuild. Bottom tier results.

[–] MintyFreshBreathYo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m not going to your safe space sub full of your alts

[–] _s0lace_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

No alts. Just people that think Gores is running a joke organization. Legit every rebuilding franchise has taken a step, except Detroit. You guys been rebuilding since Drummond 💀

Ya the Rockets were not relevant for 3 years. OMG. What a travesty. Not being relevant is a decade long type thing for Pistons.

[–] NJ_Citizen@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

They are bad but I think 4 or so teams will have a worse record by the end of the year. Wizards, Blazers, Jazz are very likely and probably the Spurs too. Maybe the Bulls if/when they blow it up.

[–] Used_Bird@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

pistons fans were talking so fucking much after the kings “gave” them jaden ivey and they signed bagley. which were idiotic moves since day 1.

[–] _s0lace_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

All Piston fans do is talk & their team never backs it up lol. Been experiencing it for a couple years now. Happy to see reality crash down on them

[–] jbrunsonfan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Are there any vets the Pistons are looking at for the deadline or the offseason ?

[–] SeanSungASong@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Why do you have to be such a prick about it because Detroit fans liked their own rookie more than ours??? Man I know this post is not in good consciousness after the r/PovertyPistons incident. You're always negative and vindictive in such a weird way and you cared more about being right than Kysre Gondrezick's well-being after KPJ beat her. You're the worst side of fandom and you really need to reconsider your sad, hating ass life. You get banned from the Rockets subreddit, make your own subreddit as if anyone gives a single fuck about what you think, get unbanned for a second chance, and get banned again. Like why behave like this? I don't get it man.

[–] 2020IsANightmare@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Your post really helps add context to how bad the 9-73 Sixers were.

Detroit has won four (!!!) of their last 41 games. It's crazy to grasp how bad that is. And they'd have to literally repeat their 4-37 stretch to finish 8-74 in an 82-game stretch.

[–] jacobythefirst@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This reminds me of that post about the pels like 2 seasons ago, then we made the playoffs lmao

[–] medievalmachine@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Eh maybe the league doesn't need expansion teams.

[–] bbqyak@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This level of dedication to tanking is commendable.

[–] ghostofmufas@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I’m excited for the Pistons Wizards game

[–] StonkeyKong2021@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

As a diehard Kings fan I don’t wish this level of suck on any fanbase. Piston fans deserve better.

They think there tanking to get Wemby. Don't tell them.

[–] CradleRockStyle@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Relegate them to the G-league and promote the South Bay Lakers so I can go to an NBA game without having to drive to downtown.

[–] Redbullsnation@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Full speed ahead!!

[–] TorePun@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

And people talk about expansions...

[–] spotty15@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not saying that I want this to happen, but I'd be ecstatic to not be known as the "worst team of all time"
