Emily Dickinson said, “Hope is the thing with feathers.” Well, for a long time the Detroit Pistons have been without feathers, which is why some fans are upset about the trade of Sekou Doumbouya.
Doumbouya very much embodied the hope of a beleaguered fan base who had watched their team draft poorly for years.
Not only did the Pistons take the wrong guys, but the players they did pick were chosen more for “need” than talent, which is how you end up with Luke Kennard over Donovan Mitchell.
