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.
Damn I wasn’t expecting what you said at the end 🤣 but you are right! This team is playing in a more talented NBA as a whole compared to 2012 and they still suck worse! Then you look at all the young talent and think how?!? This literally is the worst ran franchise in professional sports! it’s sad to say this since gores is running the operation like a fantasy gm who thought they could do the real thing 🤣… so I can’t get that mad but damn did it fail for him… gores has never been shy to spend on coaching and the back office along with willing to go deep into luxury tax if we were actually good but it still didn’t matter! This is worse than we could have ever imagined homie 😔
