Mistakes 

Post#1 » by PistonsSince85 » Wed Dec 25, 2019 1:21 pm

Realizing we could have had a lineup of Dinwiddie, Booker, Middleton, Harris, Drummond if not for the mistakes over the past decade.

We have had lucky breaks but just squandered them.

Honestly if that's the best lineup we could have had with perfect hindsight then we really haven't been that lucky at all.

Yeah, honestly that team is alright. Not a contender. Unimpressed by the fit.

Plus, teams don’t hit on every decision like that.

Enjoy your holiday. Probably need to ignore the Pistons to do so.

Well, except if we kept some of those we'd have had a better record and then not been on the position to draft the others. So stuff like this is pointless. I mean we traded Middleton in Jennings trade, and then traded Jennings for Harris right? So how would that have happened?

Ya everything is always easier to see after its already happened. Woulda coulda shoulda.
This 15yr stretch inbetween titles has been brutal. Hopefully Malik Rose and Pat Garrity(?) And Stefanski can start drafting well. Trade off guys for picks and hope for some magic
