Pistons

A lot went wrong with the Detroit Pistons this season. Reggie Jackson dealt with knee issues and didn’t play up to snuff when he was on the floor. Andre Drummond looks like he has peaked. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was sensational for most of the year, but he trailed off near the end. Stanley Johnson didn’t find [...]

There have been some memorable inbound passes and flubs over the history of basketball, the classic “Havlicek steals the ball!” of the 1960s, Larry Bird picking off Isaiah Thomas’s pass to literally and figuratively steal a victory over the Pistons in Game 5 of the 1987 eastern conference finals, and Grant Hill’s three-quarter court lob [...]

The 2016-17 season has been somewhat of a lost season for Reggie Jackson. After having the best year and a half of his career after being dealt to the Pistons before the 2015 NBA trade deadline, Jackson missed the first 20 games of the 2016-17 season with chronic knee pain and has been unable to [...]

Stan Van Gundy was not happy following the Detroit Pistons’ loss to the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night. The coach-president ripped into his team and even saved some of the blame for himself. From ESPN.com’s Nick Friedell: The message I gave them is, ‘Look, we got 10 games left,” he said. “And if we don’t change the [...]

Suns General Manager Ryan McDonough was on Arizona Sports Radio, 98.7 FM on Friday and let it be known that the Suns had discussions and were presented with an offer from an unnamed eastern conference team that involved each team swapping three of their best assets. Here is McDonough’s quote from the Doug and Wolf [...]

For the first time in his NBA career, Andre Drummond finds himself immersed in trade rumors. None of which will ever materialize into anything real. This, at least, is the stance Detroit Pistons head coach and president Stan Van Gundy assumed, per Pistons.com’s Keith Langlois: But Van Gundy dispelled any notion that Drummond was being [...]

Now in the aftermath of one of the most high-profile trades the NBA has seen in years with DeMarcus Cousins joining Anthony Davis to form maybe the most talented front court in NBA history or at least since Hakeem Olajuwon and Ralph Sampson in the 1980s, more and more information is surfacing about what may [...]

It is clear that the Detroit Pistons and the Orlando Magic front offices are both frustrated with the current play of their roster and direction of their franchise moving forward (or need to save their job if you’re Rob Hennigan) and rumors are that both have been in the trade market. The Magic have had [...]

Could you imagine what Stanley Johnson would be like on the San Antonio Spurs? Sure, his jumper is whack (31.3 percent on threes), but he’s a workaholic on defense and developing nicely as a playmaker. Plus, everyone shoots better from three in San Antonio. Apparently the Spurs were thinking along the same lines this past [...]

The Pistons have been a bit of a disappointment in the 2016-17 season at 26-30 through 56 games, but despite their inability to find the sort of success and defensive efficiency that they had last season they are still currently sitting in the No. 8 seed in the east. That apparently does not please the [...]
