Answer 5

no they didnt suck. i know it had something to do with a trade. i believe it was a old otis thorpe deal. hold on just found the info lol

"Before the start of the 1997-98 season, the Pistons dealt Thorpe to the Vancouver Grizzlies for a future first-round draft pick. This deal came back to devastate the franchise during the 2003 NBA Draft Lottery when they would have received the second pick and had their choice of Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh, but were forced to hand the pick over to the Pistons because they had yet to honor the trade"

the trade was made in the 97-98 season

im from detroit. and i followed this scenario alot. i guess the Grizzlies hadnt held up there end of the trade. and were forced to give up there pick. and ended up being the 2nd pick.

but what did detroit do? pick fu%king Darko Milicic. Bull$hit
