Have The Detroit Pistons Fallen Behind Other Young, Rebuilding Teams In The NBA?
Before the season, the Detroit Pistons were considered to be in the same ball park as other young and up-and-coming teams; after this season, however, it’s clear the Pistons have fallen far behind the rest of the young teams in the league.

Are some questions rhetorical?
Is this not obvious?
The franchise is rhetoric in its current state. All blame to front office and owner
Get em Ku!!!! ✊🏼 and cole came back bro. I didn’t think he could lol
Monty not goin no where we must build a proper team
Front office changes maybe… we need a star scorer at the 2 Ivey was a bad pick from the start bennedict or shaedon sharpe was the right pick we need a 3 wing (i.e Andrew Wiggins Trey Murphy…Ausar developing a 3) Stew and Duren I believe in Dawg Pound. The Pistons will compete again! This is the off season that will impact the future package Jaden Ivey and the draft pick for somebody that can compete now!!! #PISTONS
Don't trust Weaver with the $$
Ivey = 6th man. The lack of defensive & outside shooting consistency will always limit his ceiling.
We might be able to trade coaches. Both Cam and Mikal have spoken highly of Monty. Gores would have to pay at least half of Monty's contract but Weaver would finally have his first choice.
Then we need a roster to fit the system Ollie runs
It's a total failure with the Pistons organization, from Gores, Tellum, Weaver to Williams. I don't have the answers but these guys need to go
The have fallen behind due to poor Head Coaching and Managment. Tom & Wever sayings where a very bad sign.
Locked On Pistons, This is great! I liked it and subscribed!
This is the first year this team is playing together, we were always going to be a step behind. Then they were given a coach that did nothing but sabotage them. Plus, all the vet additions missed the first half of the season being injured. Lastly, the whole cast around the young guys was rearranged at the trade deadline plus more injuries. We’ve got talent and some good support pieces. Bring in a coach that will work with them instead of against them and there will be a big jump.
Can we just stop talking about this season and talk about the draft or trades already? I get we want to save those topics for the inevitable Pistons drought once the season ends but I just want to talk about something positive for once…
We hired a coach that did ZERO research on his team and he openly said that, forcefeeding killian and Isaiah livers starters minutes when they both shoot under 38% from the field Is a fireable offense but then again Monty isn’t a big ‘’analytics’’ guy, all bench lineups that consists of Malachi Flynn and Evan Fournier is definitely a choice and he seen that bench unit make the game get out of reach every time yet he still kept going to it. FIRE MONTY
Hornets upbeat about MJ not being the owner.
Blazer fan here. Outside Pistons bias our view on Ivey is still high. If he is this bad Pistons should trade him before the league catches up on his value.
Yes, Ivey needs to be better. BUT, 90% of it can be put on Monty playing him in the wrong role, which puts everything out of rhythm.
Saying he plays better with the ball in his hand IS NOt saying he’s better without Cade. They should split time with the ball, especially since Cade is better than Ivey off ball right now.
They should have reached the conclusion that Monty needs to go after having a league longest losing streak and having to sit him down to make changes.
And why would it even come up if he were interested in a buy out if they weren’t talking about letting him go?
That's what you get when you select an undeserving overrated and overhyped loser with your #1 overall selection in the 2021 NBA Draft. Weaver jacked that pick off. Ca e Cunningham a #20 pick talent was never a fit or a need here.
Outstanding analysis KU!
easy answer. yes
They started the season with a lot of potential, but the coach RUINED this team.
Imagine having the nerve to label a 3yr NBA player with a total of 32 wins in his career (9 Wins this current season) a Franchise player! 🤔🤦🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️ FOH
F'n fanboy needs to STOP!
