Cade Cunningham offered a harsh assessment of the last-place Pistons, saying it is "hard to just be like, 'Oh we're good, we're good,' because we're bad."
I think they need to change the lottery but not get ride of it
Here’s what I would do if I was in charge:
- A team can’t be in the lottery more than three years in a row
- You can trade your lottery pick in the 4th year and the team you trade the pick to can still be in the lottery but you can’t, so if you land the 1st overall pick in the 4th year, you get knocked down to the 16th pick OR you can trade the 1st overall pick to another team for players
That would force a team like Detroit to get more creative in their team-building strategy, they would be forced to make trades, sign guys in free agency etc. in order to build out a proper roster
