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.
That’s what happens when your starting backcourt is Cade and Killian Hayes, 32-year-old Alec Burks has been their best guard
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.
They could do better at putting the ball in the hoop and that defense thing.
They really traded Bey for James Wiseman
that was their objective
Yeah Saddiq Bey made a difference 😂 that 2021 draft really got under these thunder raptors rockets and cavs fanboys skin 😂😂💀
Is Weaver on the hot seat? Legit question. Do fans want him gone?
So what you’re saying is that the Pistons suck?
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.
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
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.
