The season has finally ended and the Pistons can't help thinking about what a failure this season was. They had the top record in the East and lost in the first round to a D-League GM and a team that runs through 1 player. Word out of Detroit is GM emplep7 has been heckling all employees and walking around urinating in every corner of the arena. He has finally become unhinged.
Andrei Kirilenko has been told he is somewhat safe, but everyone else in the franchise (including the janitorial staff) has been told they are likely to be tossed from the arena any day now.
There is also speculation that no player is safe on the roster and that includes the face of the franchise in Kemba Walker. One Western Conference GM has told the Detroit Times that they feel he is almost certainly to be traded along with every other player on the roster. Some staffers had said the team is high on Jamal Murray, but after the lottery debacle where they relinquished the top pick back to Denver, they said that the GM completely lost it and locked himself in his office for 16 days straight without leaving.
The coming weeks will be telling about the direction this team will go and if they will finally pull the plug and rebuild, but there is still a good enough roster to complete in the East after finishing 1st. Will the GM come to his senses after seeing this Finals and decide to add some depth to make one more run or will he continue his trend the last 3 seasons of making major deals to get younger and acquire picks to try and start another multi-year run.
Stay tuned.
