I know the 4 major sports are VASTLY different in terms if how fast you can turn a franchise around HOWEVER.
The last time each of the 4 was a true contender.
Lions -2 years 26 days ago. Thats how long the Lions have been a contender.
Tigers 11 Years since the Tigers have been true Contenders (2014 Playoffs)
Red Wings: 12 years 124 days since the Wings have been true contenders (2013 playoffs)
Pistons: 17 years 208 days. Dear lord. (2008 playoffs) some freshman in College weren’t even born yet.
Im talking real contender. Under +1000 odds to win the championship.
Tigers need to make some real moves this winter to get into that category.
Wings? They need a lot. And havent done squat.(22nd best odds)
Pistons might be close. But they need to make a move to get over that hump. Currently +4000 to win the Finals. (14th best odds)
I know those leagues take more time. But i feel like they have been stagnant the last 2-3 years. With no attempt to actually get to that next level from Bubble playoff team to true contender
