Their demise has been awesome to watch in the last decade but I think they reached the point where I'm feeling sorry for them and it's not fun anymore, after over 15 years of hating this franchise I am now rooting for the pistons to succeed smh.

We should make a trade for Cade and Bagley! This would help our bench tremendously!
What would Detroit want in return?
Why would you want Bagley????

We need scoring off the bench besides Cole! I rather have Wiseman now because we need a potential rim protector we can groom come playoff time!
I would trade Okeke, Wendell Carter Jr. and at least Magic's 2024, 2026 1st and Denver Pick for Cunningham and Wiseman!

Yeah... as much as i lovED Bagley... we already have Moe. We have problems in the bench when JI cant cover for Moe... and you wanna put Bagley together with Moe???
Now Wiseman???
Although to be fair, we have been extremely lucky picking up trash bigs from other teams and making them productive... Moe and Goga comes to mind.

The game against Brooklyn was very alarming because we didn't have a single shot blocking threat when Goga went out the game! The way their guards got to the rim, still gives me nightmares!
Having said all of that, a lengthy more motivated Wiseman would help alleviate our interior woes!
His job this season would be to:
1. Box Out
2. Protect The Paint
3. Rebound
4. Defend without Fouling

I am not talking about effort level (which is poor but that can be fixed) but about his reaction time and decisionmaking on both ends, which are exceptionally poor. When you are that bad at these crucial things you can't succeed in the league unless you are some really freak athlete and even then your ceiling would be low. Wiseman is a very good athlete with great size but not quite freak level by NBA standards so he'll probably be out of the league soon.

I think thats why you were asked of you watched Wiseman play. Dude doesnt do any of thkse things.
However, i will give you that our FO can find treasure in other teams trash and if they see something in Wiseman, then i will give him the benefit of the doubt.
Seriously though, he reminds .e of an ol Magic fave... Steven Hunter. Dude literally looks like the perfect NBA Center complete with muscles. Too bad thats the only thibg going for him.

They may be the worst team I've seen in a long while. Like, where's the sense of urgency? Where's the effort to try to avoid a historic losing streak. They don't have the best talent and missing Duren sucks, but they should not be THIS bad.
, especially if they don't beat Utah ( assuming playing against Spurs is best bet to win, given they are on 16 games losing streak 
)

Of top of my head- Pistons have guy below rim wide open, like guy could order diner, eat, and score- yet they throw pass off rim.
Same set, same outcome, this time around Pistons center can't handle ball and misses layup.
Third set they FINALLY score but it's clear traveling ( ofc not called).
Shooting. They look like group of 50 years old dudes who show up for pickup game after kids are finally put to sleep. Airball, zero organisation, no structure of offense, defense so bad that it's impossible to pin point one thing that doesn't work.
I'm not sure was it Bagley or Wiseman, we have 1,7 sec on a clock on inbound, and somehow he loses 7 footer below rim by trying to "help" on player that is inbounding a ball.
This is highschool team. Not even college team. I feel sorry for Cade, Bojan and Duren, take them out and they would go winless for 82 games.
