The pistons won 1 title, but they are nowhere near another one. They would have had an all-star, bu instead they picked a guy that will never be an all-star, and is also going to his fourth NBA team. June 26, 2003 was my last night being a Pistons fan also.

every GM is going to miss on guys but passing on wade and carmello really killed the pistons future. dumars made great trades and free-agent signings several years ago which helped them win the title. billups, sheed, and ben wallace. not only that but he brought in a hall of fame coach. i still would say though his biggest mistake was not getting a good big to help sheed out down low. why didn't they get KG? or get a servicable big like elden campbell (a modern day elden campbell would be someone like perkins or bynum) who they had in the pistons championship run? bad drafts the last several years have killed the pistons.
