23. Detroit Pistons (21-27)
The Detroit Pistons are another team that is in a difficult situation. They can’t exactly tank because they have too much talent on their roster, and at the same time don’t have enough because they’re currently out of the top 8 in the East.
They can’t make a big move at the NBA Trade Deadline either, because they have contracts that simply other teams don’t want. So, in essence, the Pistons are, for the most part, stuck with what they have.
Sadly, it’s probably not going to be enough to make the playoffs – even in a weak bottom of the Eastern Conference. The Pistons will have to ride out the next two years like this.
