Battle of present irrelevants at the moment between fans.Let's have the general board settle it. Who has the brighter future between these 2 teams?
Bobcats have Kemba, Biyombo, 25% of Anthony Davis
Pistons have Stuckey, Monroe, Knight, lotto pick.

depends on who they draft and draft order.
Right now?
I guess you'd go with the pistons because Monroe is that good.
but that can all change on the draft lottery.

Bobcats have no star or potentially good player. Yes, I said player, hence not players.

You forgot cap situations. E.g. CV and BG and Prince all signed for at least 2 more years after this + Maxiell expiring (or is he a team option?) vs. Thomas signed for 4 years and Magette, Diop, Carroll, Williams, Mullens all becoming expirings (something like 25 million dollars?)
Right now I'd not want to be in either's situations. If I was forced to pick I'd take the Bobcats, but it will probably change tomorrow, it just depends on how high I am on Biyombo at the time... Neither team is going to be a contender any time soon.

Pistons.
If the Bobcats get Anthony Davis, then we can revisit this and see whats going on.. as a Kings fan i'd tell those Bobcats fans not commit suicide if they end up choosing 4th.

So Biyombo and Kemba aren't potentially good? the disrespect for the brand "bobcats" will skew any poll when comparing futures, they seriously need a rebrand

Cap space doesn't matter too much if nobody is willing to sign there.

Well, first off, the Pistons have better starters at pretty much every position.

He was asked a question and answered diplomatically. No one is going to Charlotte man.
