Seems highly uncalled for given that it was simply a friendly jab. Also the bobcats might be a joke, but at least we didn't self destruct from one of the best teams in the east to one of the worst. Not to mention we played you guys like a fiddle in our most recent trade.
Self destruct? They made a conscious decision to start the rebuil early, knowing that team had reached its peak and wasn't winning anymore championships.
When you look at the Pistons today, and then look at some of the other teams from that era that refused to rebuild, like BOS and DAL, and idk how anyone can say the Pistons didn't make the right move by rebuilding early.
They now have 2 of the best young big men in the league, $35 mil in capsace, and just adding one of the best PGs in the league. You wait too long and you end up like BOS/DAL with bunch of old players on huge contracts and no better chance than the Pistons to win another championship anytime soon.
This franchise is in GREAT shape right now.
