As a Pistons fan, seeing all these teams in similar rebuilds (rockets, thunder, pacers, etc) have success is pretty tough to see. We’ve been rebuilding for a hot minute, and yet we find ourselves in a tier with the trailblazers and wizards, who just started their rebuild this offseason.

I’m happy for Minnesota fans. A year of growing pains, followed by Kirk Cousin’s injury, they can enjoy their early #1 seed.

      Who knows, maybe Dame pulls a Charles Woodson. Has years of great play but can’t quite finish, goes to Wisconsin, wins a ring, then signs out their last years back where they started.

      that draft was so weird. killian hayes, obi toppin, and deni avdija go 7-9. then tyrese and tyrese at #12 and #21 end up being the real gems

    Happy for the Wolves. They got so much shit for the Gobert trade last season, and I’m pretty happy they have the opportunity to shove it in everyone’s faces this year.

        Bruh your post just asked who we were jealous of. I’m happy we traded Dame to a contender and blew it up, just jelly cause it would have been insane if we got Wemby. Or maybe he would have gotten degenerative knee issues like the other Blazers bigs, guess we’ll never know

    Happy for the Kings, Magic, Pacers, TWolves.

    Jealous of literally no one but do hold a grudge against the Warriors. Kings could have destroyed the rest of the western conference last year and solidified their team as one of the best in NBA history.

    Jealous of the Celtics, Porzingis was the whale I wanted Pat to chase instead of Dame. What a get for them AND adding Jrue? Happy for them? Hell no lol.

    Happy for the Thunder, this awful Giddey stuff notwithstanding. Small market, probably one of the smallest markets, only team in town, and they get to watch a winning team. Also happy for / wary of our brothers in Orlando.

    Watching the pacers is like watching a sweetheart ex live an alternate life happily married without you.

    You love your current family and wouldn’t change a thing but always can’t help with what if?

    Im jealous that other rebuilds have been way quicker than ours. It has been so long since our team has shown any signs of competence, and teams like OKC that made multiple deep playoff runs while we were still in the first half of rebuild can implode and just about overtake us. I just hope we find some sustained success to be proud of, and i hope good free agents will one day pick us over Miami
