Do you want the Pistons to set the all time record for most consecutive losses?

No, I don't want that distinction linked to our franchise.

Yes, but only because I hope it will eventually force Gores to make a change.

No but I got no say in it.

I did expect us to be bad - too many important pieces that are still too young.

I did not expect this though.

Fact I set the bar so low and they still couldn't clear it is such a disappointment I'm almost done with this team.

No, but I damn sure hope it never gets Monty Williams another job in the nba.

Yes, it's the only chance we'll have at Monty getting fired this soon, and that would be positive in the long run. Winning some random meaningless game where the other team rests its best players still leaves this team in its current state.

I don’t think this team will win one more game with Monty as coach. The players have said ****
You coach, you go out and play and see what you can do

If what has already happened doesn’t make it clear that a change needs to take place I doubt a few more losses in a row will do it.

No is the only valid answer here.

Or I guess “Whatever man I don’t care anymore” is understandable too.

Monty is set whether or not he has a job. I honestly don’t think he cares anymore either.

Yes because I want to see something change. Whatever it takes.

Here’s a picture for all of you fans.

Monty will not leave for at least two years, he’s just not gonna get fired and I’m not against it, these kids gotta grow up. How?

Trade them.

We all know who we want to get and that’s any talent at PF. OG, Siakam, Markannen, Tobias, Grant Williams, PJ, Johnson, Keldon Johnson, any wing, just add anyone right? I mean I’ll take anyone over Stewart and Livers please.

If Weaver had any spine in him he would’ve made the trade a year ago instead of the trade for Wiseman which didn’t make sense at all. There is no chance we can garner any value out of our players past their contracts. This is why we’re going to have to overpay and we all are on the boat on this decision at this point. I think players understand Detroit has a lot of money available and we’ll have to pay guys like OG 35-40m a year. That’s the reality of our situation and I think it’s fine considering how many rookie contracts we have even if we pay Cade we should absolutely max someone who doesn’t deserve it. Guys like Markannen Siakam will get maxed by everyone. Guys like Tobias OG might not. If weaver is creative enough he’d get guys like Keldon Johnson that’s already gotten paid but he’s spineless so here we are.

I can guarantee once we get that confident PF wing to play over Stewart, we will see wins roll in and the season can completely change from the first half to only win 2 games before all star break, and after the trade we can win 12-15 games out of 40. That’s improvement that spineless Weaver can make for the team but refusing to do it for a full year now. Grant Williams was obtainable this summer because Celtics wanted Stewart. Weaver is the worst.

Don't care either way. If we win we will likely go on another 20+ losing streak regardless.

Absolutely. It will, without question facilitate rapid changes. Even now I'm reading headlines from non-sports news groups, making fun of, taking cheap shots, you name it, and just for a few clicks.

Laughingstock of everything at the moment. Only way to ensure complete change, is absolute failure.

My real hope, is that Gores sells the team. Under his ownership, it has been an unmitigated disaster.

I agree that if this disaster hasn't instituted change, what exactly will? If Gores is inactive after becoming the punchline of professional sports and Weaver can arguably go down for the worst GM of all time, when will change happen?

RIght now, the team's best chance seems more likely to come from Adam Silver who tires of Pistons being an absolute mess, and if gets to that point, will the Las Vegas Pistons be a solution? I mean we can imagine a bottom below rock bottom.

Well, at least I can go watch my favorite team in my favorite city :lol:
I absolutely do not want to break this record. No thanks. Change will come no matter what so I'd rather not be down in history for this crap streak

Commissioners don’t like it when teams move- he’d never be the driving force behind it.

We’ll see a team in Vegas soon enough, but it won’t be this one. I think we’ll soon see the league expand to 32 teams. Seattle and Vegas look like the most likely candidates, which likely means a team is moving from West to East.

Memphis and New Orleans are in the same longitude as multiple East teams, so they are most likely.

If the league steps in it would probably be in a situation like the one in Philly where Jerry Colangelo was brought in at Silver’s urging.

I don’t want us to have the record. Nothing positive about it.

If it did force us to make a move, it would likely be a bad one just to get a few wins in the short run.

This will sound crazy :crazy: but strategy wise to do a full rebuild, we’re doing the right thing in getting our cap space under control and getting a good young core of players.

Weaver took a chance on kicking out the cap space another year and give the young guys a year to grow. Obviously that isn’t working. I think that is what has to change - time to go buy some real players at the wings and PF. Use the cap space! We should be able to add two good starters.

If it’s really a good young core of players, why are we *this* bad?

This shows you that the team, and ownership needs to be humiliated.

Change should have happened after 10 straight losses.

Fire Monty, accept your mistake, make some moves, start a new direction.

This is NOT rocket science.

Its a damn episode of kitchen nightmares, where the owner just doesn't get it, I swear.

Monty can be unloaded, remember coaches can be traded.
Also curious whether he can be demoted to the G, that would be fitting.
But we mustnt end it there, the Coach is not the only loser involved here. The players need to be exited, the Coach demoted, the G.M. fired and Gores needs to shackled, hog tied and chain-dragged to Ohio......after hes forced to sign over ownership.

The Pistons are under occupation by enemy forces, if your not part of the resistance you are enabling the crime.
