So I’ve been watching the Pistons since the late Isiah Thomas/Bill Laimbeer years, and I own both a Joe Dumars and Chauncey Billups jersey and I have a theory as to why the team is doing so bad:
What if Gores is intentionally making the team bad in order to create fan apathy in order to move them to Vegas or some other cjty?
Think about it, Gores lives closer to Vegas than he does Detroit and there are larger markets than Detroit like Austin or Nashville and it seems like he doesn’t care about the team. What if this is all apart of the plan, similar to the plot of Major League! Anyway, that’s my conspiracy theory; thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
1-while there is fan apathy right now, Metro Detroit is still a very large TV market and we are a storied franchise. NBA wouldn’t let the team move.
2-the next move for the NBA is expansion. Vegas and Seattle are almost certainly getting expansion teams in the next 2-5 years.
