The Pistons are in year 4 of their rebuild (some would say they’ve been rebuilding since the Drummond draft), and currently seem to be taking steps backwards with their young core.
Cade is currently the least efficient player to average 20+ ppg in the league & Monty has been questionable with his coaching patterns. Their 2020 draft where they selected Hayes, Stewart, & Bey, has been a failure considering who was available on the board. They had similar cap money to Houston this off-season & instead of adding quality vets to help their core, they took on expiring contracts for players that aren’t even in the rotation.
There is no doubt they are the “black eye” of the league, & have been for some time.
They traded Bey for peanuts. 24 year old forward that could actually shoot and defend. Any proper team would fire their GM into the sun after that. Until they get a superstar in the draft they will keep being the worst team in the league.
He can shoot but watching him on the Hawks, I am not convinced he can defend.
