NBA pundits spent the offseason telling the Detroit Pistons that they needed to get a second star to put next to Cade Cunningham, but Trajan Langdon stayed patient and avoided the big move. And he was right.
But that hasn’t stopped the criticism, even after a 13-2 start, as there are some who just won’t let this issue die. A recent article in Bleacher Report named “not getting a co-star for Cade Cunningham” as Detroit’s biggest offseason regret.
I'll have to respectfully disagree with our friends at B/R.
I am not sure how much more the Pistons need to do to prove that assessment wrong, but even if you still believe the Pistons are lacking star power, Langdon was smart to be patient.
