Draft week is upon us. Trajan Langdon and Tom Gores’ press conference is complete, we know that Monty Williams won’t be the Pistons’ head coach next season, some new front office executives and shooting coach Fred Vinson were brought to Detroit. So, let’s focus on the draft that starts in, uh, two days. I mean,
The Detroit Pistons are starting a new era under new team president Trajan Langdon, but they are not starting over. This isn’t a rebuild of a rebuild. Instead, it will require Langdon to do something ousted GM Troy Weaver never bothered to do — build something in the first place. In reflecting on the remarks

In the end, the Detroit Pistons needed a CEO and a leader of men, and owner Tom Gores feels like he found it in Trajan Langdon, the team’s new president of basketball operations. The Pistons hired Langdon three weeks ago, and have since added several people to the front office, fired a GM, fired a
New Detroit Pistons president Trajan Langon certainly has plenty of work to reshape Detroit’s roster into something worth building.

At the NBA Draft Lottery, the unthinkable (yet totally predictable) happened when the Detroit Pistons fell once again to the 5th pick, and there is a real chance the Pistons will pick even lower than that. That’s right! We’re talking about trade-down scenarios. In a draft without clear-cut premier players, either very few trades happen
The Detroit Pistons are moving quickly, as they must, to hire a head coach to replace Monty Williams. The team has received permission to interview Sean Sweeney, Micah Nori, and JB Bickerstaff for the vacant head coach position, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

The Detroit Pistons have fired head coach Monty Williams just one year after making him the highest paid coach in NBA history. The Pistons are still on the hook for $65 million guaranteed on his deal over the next five years. The news was first reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Williams leaves after guiding an
The Boston Celtics gave up early in game 4 of the NBA Finals. Either they took such a vicious punch from a desperate Dallas Mavericks team they could never recover or … they sort of didn’t mind dropping one game because it meant they could win the NBA Finals on their home floor. Luka Doncic
