Jumping from a failed rebuild, to win now,
as I don't think it's a failed rebuild, only those in charge who have been failing. Now of course this goes with my belief that Cade is that guy, and the overwhelming reason we haven't seen wins, is the horrendous players being out around him.(growth from Cade being the other)
I firmly believe that if you create the team I've outlined,
which is absolutely possible, you will hit the ground running next year, and
will see a team approach, or surpass 40 wins next year.
That is my main thesis here. Now other fans may/may not agree. Great. Insert who you think will be better, no problem.
What I won't abide from this clueless front office, is standing pat, and picking another damn rookie. That would be insane, UNLESS that pick is #1, and your scouts are screaming he is JJJ part 2.
Hold on, I'll grant you that Cade is good. He was the consensus #1 player in the draft, and has shown the potential to live up to it. But drafting Cade has in no way saved the rebuild from being a failure. It has been an absolute failure. In year 4 of the rebuild, the team won 14 games
(while playing worse than a 14-win team), for the worst season in the history of the franchise. That is the very definition of a failed rebuild. And yes, when rebuilds fail, it is the fault of those in charge, because they're the ones doing the rebuilding!
This is all in how you look at it. I believe that Weaver lucked into Cade, and he is that guy. The problem arised when Weaver tried to build around him, failing spectacularly.
Cade is the rebuild to me. Weaver has failed since, to finish it. Someone else, will probably have to do it.
Now, with all of the assets garnered;
Duren
Ivey
Stewart
Ausar
Sasser
Grimes
Top 5 pick
All that has to be done, is to land the whale at the 4, because in free agency, a
top 4 shot blocker is waiting to be signed. A
very promising SG, is waiting to be signed.
Cade
Monk
Tek
Trade(Markkanen/Naz/Towns
Claxton
This is
how I see it. Obviously everyone has their own opinion. The rebuild can be completed with a deft hand
in my opinion, by placing the right players around Cade. Also in my opinion, the players needed for that,
are available.
Unless no one thinks a combination of those players and the pick can land the Pistons one of those players, which I think is nuts. The Pistons have talent, it's just been horrifically situated
in my opinion.
It's a puzzle put together by someone with poor cognitive skills.(Weaver)
I firmly believe if the Pistons open next season with that roster next year, they hit the ground running. If Gores sticks to his flaccid guns, and let's it play out, the Pistons will suck, yet again next year.
