From 2009 until Troy Weaver arrived the Pistons were stuck in NBA purgatory. They weren't good enough to make the playoffs and not bad enough to land a top pick. Troy Weaver came in and blew the whole roster up and now 3 years later we have our franchise player (Cade) and 2 other really promising pieces to the core (Ivey and Duren). We will add another big piece in the draft this year. I much prefer what we're doing now vs what we did all those years before.

[@artmeddaugh6669]

It's truly depressing what's been going on with the Pistons the last 15 years. I've been a fan since the late 70's, witnessed the growth of the franchise through the 80's which includes 11 East Finals appearances, 5 NBA Finals appearances, and 3 NBA World Championships. Even when the team transitioned during the 90's it wasn't this bad. Troy Weaver says he wants to "Restore" the Pistons and build them into contenders again...Well, we're waiting. And waiting, and waiting, and waiting. SMH!

[@jaywarvz]

💀💀💀

[@RealJuiceWrld]

Ok but he got you a bunch of young guys and Cade to lead them. The future looks bright.

[@seandaniels7938]

He's been here 4 years chill dude shit doesn't happen over night it takes time

[@TypeRob]

Patience. Not every NBA team will be winners. Pistons will get their time eventually

[@kingoffedoras9932]

Obviously getting Wemby would be huge for the team, but they've got a really good center in Duren, and their starting backcourt is locked up with Ivey and Cade. They just really need a great wing player, could be Brandon Miller

[@gameknotz3602]

Im fine with either Scoot or Miller tbh. They could realistically move Cade to the 3 which seems bad rn but Cade has the potential of becoming a great two-way player. We haven't seen him or Ivey play together yet so this is all speculation but I rn (Miller and Scoot) > Wemby for me.

[@TrueGuardify]

#1 rule of nba draft is if there is an outrageous talent you pick them, position doesn't matter in this instance. Make Wemby and Duren compete against each other to stimulate growth and development, use the other one as a trade piece (if you can't play them together but Wemby can stretch the floor and shoot really well so I don't see why not).

[@himekomurata72]

Maybe your team could go for Cade, Ivey, Bojan, Wemby and Duren or be weird and put Wemby at 3 😂

[@notfromcalifornia]

In my opinion the pistons should trade bojan bogdanovic for young players and draft capital because any contender would want him he’s really good

[@notfromcalifornia]

Also how come the pistons traded saddiq bey? I don’t watch them much so I have no idea what goes on in that team

They were never really in a "rebuild." Executives always made moves like it was more of a retool and they never pulled the trigger on a full-on teardown until about 2019-2020.

[@coreyrowe4119]

Pistons have only 2 playoff appearances since 2009 and 0 playoff wins since 2008 all while playing in the noticably weaker east. It's really hard to be that bad for that long in this league.

The thing that made Pistons so bad the owner Bill Davidson passed away. The year he passed away everything went downhill. Then they drafted bad, the keys went to SVG who (The bad outweighed the good) made horrible moves. Troy came along and clear up a huge mess now the future is bright. Cade, Ivey and Duren will be great in time. Now with Monty all they need is solid forwards, depth and time.

Ausar & Cade 🤭

[@andysauro1500]

This team has had 0 continuity over the course of a 5+ year period. The coaching and GM switches, the rotating players. Their draft capital has always been spent on Size and Athleticism, not skill. 0 worthy point guards. At least they have Cade Cunningham, but there's nobody else on this roster I've seen worth holding on to. Jaden Ivy is nice, but hasn't done enough to prove himself. Marvin, Jalen and Wiseman are all competing against themselves. Pistons are in no-mans land.
