DISAPPOINTMENT IN DETROIT: Pistons Struggle Under New Coach
The Detroit Pistons have been the biggest letdown in the NBA this season. Despite the arrival of new head coach Monty Williams, the team has failed to find its rhythm on the court. In fact, at one point, the Pistons suffered a humiliating losing streak of 28 games. It was a clear sign that their season was a lost cause. With no hope of making the playoffs, the team simply went through the motions, hoping to avoid any major injuries and secure a high draft pick for the future.
Trade Rumors Surrounding Pistons
As the Pistons continue to stumble through the season, they have become the subject of trade rumors. One recent rumor linked them to Zach LaVine of the Chicago Bulls. However, with LaVine now out for the rest of the season due to injury, those rumors have come to an end. But a new rumor has emerged, suggesting that Killian Hayes, the Pistons’ fourth-year point guard, wants out of the team. According to a source cited by the Detroit Free Press via NBA Central, Hayes and his camp are looking for a fresh start elsewhere. Surprisingly, it seems that the Pistons are on board with this idea.
Hayes Seeks a Fresh Start
Killian Hayes has grown tired of the Pistons’ lackluster performance. After a promising season last year, the young point guard has struggled this year, averaging just 6.9 points, 4.8 assists, and 2.8 rebounds per game. Shooting at a lackluster 41.3% from the field, Hayes has failed to live up to expectations. It remains to be seen how much attention he will attract on the trade market, as he is not considered a game-changer.
The Detroit Pistons’ disappointing season and the desire of Killian Hayes to move on from the team have raised questions about the future of the franchise. As the team continues to search for answers, fans can only hope for a brighter future.
