How long do we wait before blowing it up again?

Tanking is for rats.

Give me the the team claws for every loose ball, that fights for every second on every possesion.

You'll get none of the above competitors from a ****, slacker, weak minded, lack of character tankass culture.

We aint blowing up ****, we are moving up, one fistfight at a time.

I have a friend who's a casual NBA fan say to me the other day "wow, the Pistons already have 8 wins and are in play-in contention, pretty cool that they're finally competing".

Imagine if I turned to him and said "no, there's too much risk we're going to become a mediocre team, so we should trade away all our talent so we can be terrible again for the next 4-5 years".

Hooray a casual is surprised we aren't the worst team in the league. Let's be grateful for a most likely mediocre 7-10 seed team like we had before the rebuild .

It took us five years but we’re back! Thinking Gores will hang a banner for our next play-in appearance

I'm so tired of hearing about "blowing it up".. Or "Tanking".. You want to be a 15-win season every year I guess.

Also how a few posters seem reasonably convinced our core only has a lower playoff seed ceiling.

Wish I was able to know the future with such certainty.

Around 2002, I remember on Pistonstalk, people were saying how we needed to blow it up. We won a title 2 yrs later. You have to build on something. We had 13 or 14 lottery picks in the last 15 years and haven't won ****. I recommend fans look back at the last 15-20 years of lottery picks and see how a majority are busts.

Assuming you're talking 2001-2002 season - we were the 2nd seed in the east. Not exactly coming off a historically bad season.

And we did blow it up, but when you're a 2 seed, blowing it up means something different than when you are the worst team in the league. We blew it up by drastically changing the roster. How many of those 2001-2002 Pistons hoisted the trophy? The answer is 2.
