It sucks the Pistons are missing all those guys (Corliss Williamson, Mike James, and Mehmet Okur were all crucial as well) but I'll take 2K doing a fair bit of the groundwork. Hopefully the 2004 Pistons court art is on point.
I look at it this way, I usually try to make the 2004 Pistons on my own anyway and I usually have to end up creating most of the players on board. This time around, at least we get a head start on some of the tougher ones (i.e. Ben Wallace and Richard Hamilton).
