I think the league is stacked right now so there might have been worse team in the last 10 years but I believe this is the worst team for a single season in the last 10 years! Normally I can come up with a hypothetical way to make the Pistons good (trade, free agency, new management/coaching, ect…) but I seriously see no light at the end of the tunnel other than Gores to sell the team. Even if this happens it still might take another 5-10 years. When Monty first declined the job then accepted after Gores begged him and paid him so much he couldn’t decline I knew it was over. The guy has a lot going on with his family and only took the job for the money. I can’t blame him but he didn’t believe in this team from the start and now everything is even more of a disaster than it was. I also knew that if we didn’t get the #1 overall pick it was over as well since wemby was the only guy that could potentially change the franchise. I don’t think wemby would help immediately but at least we would have hope.
No, and it’s not even close. The 2012 Bobcats had a -15.2 net rating (7 less than the 2nd worst team that year). They were dead last in offense and defense.
We’ve at least been competitive at times. Our net rating is -8.1 (3rd worst in the league). 27th and 24th in offense and defense.
