(Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images)   It’s been a long while since the Detroit Pistons were a championship-caliber team. To be more precise, it’s been exactly 20 years since their last NBA championship. However, things could’ve been a lot different for that organization. They had the No. 2 pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, a pick they used to land Darko Milicic. They could’ve had Dwyane Wade or Chris Bosh instead, or the clear-cut second-best prospect in that class: Carmelo Anthony. In the latest edition of his podcast, Anthony hosted Pistons legend Chauncey Billups to discuss that possibility ..read more

After only making the playoffs twice in the past decade, and getting swept in both appearances, the Pistons are trying to do anything possible to make some changes. One of their most recent offseason moves was to bring Tobias Harris back to the team. Harris played for them for three years but has recently spent time with the Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Clippers. After signing him to a two-year deal, the team is confident in his ability to help them rebuild, as Jake Fischer ..read more

They’ve had some talented young players, but, at times, it seemed as if basketball wasn’t at the top of their priority list. That’s why new coach Charles Lee knows the first step to turning the team around will be to build and develop a strong culture. With that in mind, the Hornets have decided to sign veteran big man Taj Gibson. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the 39-year-old has joined the team on a one-year deal worth $3.3 million. Free agent center Taj Gibson has a ..read more

  It has been a while since the Detroit Pistons have been competitive — they have made the NBA playoffs just twice since 2009, haven’t won a postseason series since 2008, and their 2004 championship team is now a distant memory. They do have a potential star in Cade Cunningham, but other than that, they currently don’t really have any players who seem to have the ability to become true difference-makers. On Tuesday, the Pistons decided to acquire big man Paul Reed, per Shams Charania. The Detroit Pistons are claiming F/C Paul Reed off free agency waivers, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stad ..read more

(Photo by Dustin Satloff/Getty Images)   The Detroit Pistons have plenty of young talent in their ranks. Even so, more often than not, they went with a ‘best player available’ approach in the NBA Draft, and while that works out at times, fit is also important to win basketball games. The Pistons have several non-shooters on the team, and their spacing was a bit of an issue, to put it nicely. That’s why now that they have a new decision-maker putting the roster together, as well as a new coach in JB Bickerstaff, they’ve targeted shooters in the open market. As pointed out by StatMuse on so ..read more

(Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images)   The Milwaukee Bucks have been one of the biggest losers of the offseason. They’ve watched all of their rival teams get better, all while they got slightly worse. They lost Malik Beasley in free agency, and he’s now going to join the Detroit Pistons. Shams Charania of The Athletic reports that the sharpshooting shooting guard is now signing a one-year, $6 million deal with JB Bickerstaff’s team, getting a slight pay raise after signing for the veteran minimum in Milwaukee last season. Beasley shot just short of 42% from beyond the arc last season an ..read more

(Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images)   The Detroit Pistons may not have won many games last season, but at least they got to keep adding solid talent to their core of players. They got G-League standout Ron Holland in the first round of the NBA Draft, and while the fit might be questionable to some, he’s clearly very talented. Recently, he sat down with NBA legend Kevin Garnett, who asked him who would be his ideal role model to mold his game after and mentor him in today’s game (via Pistons Talk & The Player’s Tribune). Ron Holland on which player In today's game he would like to lea ..read more
