I see a lot of doom and gloom here, so I want to ask you all something. This team is clearly not very good, which makes sense because the only piece we added from last year is Cade, who is coming off an injury. It is a young team without any healthy, legit veteran players.

The one way to speed up the process is by signing proven guys, like the Rockets did. They sunk a ton of money into Fred VanVleet, Dillon Brooks, and Jeff Green and are seeing results. Coming off a win against the Nuggets last night, they are 6-3 and have won six straight.

But would you rather be in their shoes? Do you honestly think that roster has a chance of doing anything in the playoffs? I don’t. And as for their future, Jalen Green went 1-13 in their win last night and Jabari Smith got 8 points. So what so the Rockets have to look forward to? A 1st round exit, I’d say.

So yeah, this season isn’t going to be fun for Pistons fans. But I hope that the young core will develop so that when the Pistons are ready to compete, they will be doing it with their core rather than mid FA signings who won’t go far.
