Its a no brainer for me but maybe Detroit is really that bad both as an organization and city.
I think they have two guys in a healthy Cade and Duran who can't help you win games. After that, I think Thompson and Ivey are intriguing developmental guys. It seems like the rest of the roster are a bunch of odd fitting parts who they hope develop but really don't have any rhyme or reason on team building. Add the 5th pick to this equation as well.
I am not sure overpaying for a veteran piece is the answer. Especially if it is going to take 25 million to do that. They definitely need some veteran pieces though. Tough to have a veteran who can still play have any excitement playing for a bad team.
in summary, while they are a long way away, a Cade, Duran, Thompson and Ivey pairing is a solid group of young prospects.
