In this week's episode of Inside The Cylinder, we discuss Detroit's 4-10 start to the season. Detroit's lost a ton of "winnable" games, and are coming off a twenty point blowout loss to the Chicago Bulls - who many had predicted would miss the playoffs this season. It's their second loss of the season to the Bulls, and their fifth loss to expected lottery teams. Where do they go from here? Detroit's in a tough situation when it comes to a rebuild for a variety of reasons, but does that mean they should continue with this team as is? And what would a rebuild even look like? Soft rebuild? Blow this mother f'er up? We'll take a look at what Detroit can, and should do moving forward from here. And make sure to follow Inside The Cylinder on Twitter at @InsideTheCylndr!
