Regardless of that fact. The reality is, if you don't have one of the top 5 players in the league, you have about zero chance of being a real contender. That's why nobody takes Toronto seriously, even though they tear it up in the regular season.

People knocked "The Process" in Philadelphia, and I understand the reasoning. Most fans don't want a team that is effectively designed to not be competitive. But, Sam Hinkie knew his team wasn't going to be a legitimate contender unless he got a player that would eventually be a top 5 player.

A treadmill playoff team is our ceiling. And, really, that isn't the worst thing in the world. Gores gets some playoff revenue, casual fans can enjoy a couple home game in the playoffs. But, this team is capped out with a low ceiling.


Let's expand that to top 10. So who's on the top 10 list in the NBA and who should we target for trade :D
1.Lebron
2.Durant
3.Curry(screw u warriors)
4.Leonard(cause Kawhi or Kahwi doesn't look right)
5.Westbrook
6.Harden
7.Paul George
8.Kyrie(screw u Cavs)
9.Butler
10.?

So George or Jimmy are the only maybe available guys.
SJ+2017 unprotected 1st+2019 unprotected 1st+Ellenson+Tobias is about the best we could offer


I'd put Cousins in the top 10.

None of those players are legitimately available. We've heard murmurs, but I'd imagine that the asking price is probably so high right now that no team is willing to pay the price.

I would have Giannis in the top 10 easily and mos def higher than a few guys on that list IMO.

Eff it all lol just keep our young players and draft picks and hope we catch fire with one of them. We're still super young and gonna improve. Growing pains suck though


how are Wizards recovering from their growing pains?

and they won TWO playoff series prior to fall in the oblivion.

I said it was a joke in the original post! I mad this thread so people could post stuff like this and get all the doom and gloom out of their system! We got a lot of improving to do but it is not hopeless!

He's still another guy that isn't available, regardless of where anyone wants to rank him.

Your sacrifice would be greatly appreciated by all remaining Pistons fans. We will write stories of your noble sacrifice. And tell our children. And our children's children.
