    I’m a pistons fan and I can say basically every fan has given up. Cade, Ivey and Duran have been solid young players, but for some reason Monty Williams would rather play Kilian Hayes than Ivey and we have traded for and signed every young center that has been a bust in the past 6 years. This team is doomed for like the next 4 years.

    • @Odysseus1999
      @Odysseus1999 6 місяців тому +11

      The problem with you guys is you’re so young and you don’t have anybody scoring next to Cade. Your front office is just really bad at drafting and making moves. They’ll look like they’ve gotten it together and then the front office delays the rebuild by making a stupid decision. Making dumb draft picks, trading away assets for Blake Griffin or money, hiring and firing head coaches, etc. If you just picked well in the draft and didn’t do so many trades and built a culture around your guys, you’d be okay.

    It's crazy that I started watching BBall in 2007, during Lebron's first run to the Finals. And in that moment, I didn't realize just how monumental of an achievement it was for Lebron to take down the Detroit Pistons in the ECF. Little did I know, that would be my last memory of a Detroit team that was elite.

      He was always just soft for his size. He’d get bullied but he did have some solid games for Detroit. He was just a shoot first from outside guy when he could’ve been a dominant paint guy if he built up his frame. At 6’11” with a good long range shot he had Rasheed Wallace potential which is what the Detroit scouts probably thought, wrongly lol.

    In the modern NBA the players have more control than ever as far as where they want to play. This means that cities that most people wants to live in like Detroit, Orlando etc will never be able to attract a top tier free agent and their best players will leave in free agency ASAP or if they stick around for a huge contract then they will force a trade. If you are a fan of a team thats is a city that ballers just dont want to live in the your future is going to be a very rough road.
