Hey everyone! This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s podcast, we’re talking about your 15-42 Detroit Pistons. Ben and I talk about the James Wiseman – Saddiq Bey trade from all angles; why we understood the Pistons trading away Saddiq Bey, but why the acquisition of James Wiseman has us

It might have taken longer than expected, but in the end, James Wiseman is headed to Detroit. That news comes via Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. The Warriors decided to accept the terms of the deal even as its asset in the trade, Gary Payton II, could miss most if not the rest of the season.

The Detroit Pistons turned over the basketball 18 times. At one point, they trailed by as much as 14 points. Before the game, the Pistons weren’t sure if they were going to be accompanied by James Wiseman or if he was going to be returning to Golden State. Because the trade was still in limbo,

The Detroit PIstons and Toronto Raptors both made significant trade deadline deals for centers. Only one of them is on track to play as the two teams square off at Scotiabank Arena.

I’m going to make this game recap short and sweet as I live in a liminal state waiting to find out if the James Wiseman trade goes through. The Detroit Pistons managed to win in double overtime against an admittedly severely undermanned San Antonio Spurs team 138-131. Jalen Duren had a career night against an

The Detroit Pistons trade deadline deal that saw them acquire James Wiseman from the Golden State Warriors is now in serious jeopardy after Gary Payton II failed his physical with the Warriors.

Another exciting trade deadline has come and gone and every team in the league except for two participated in the festivities. The Spurs sent out their starting center, Jakob Poeltl while the Pistons acquired a new center in James Wiseman. I don’t think any of the players either team received back in their subsequent deals

To fill the void left by the departures of Saddiq Bey and Kevin Knox, the Detroit Pistons are signing Motor City Cruise guard Stanley Umude to a 10-day contract. Umude has spent all season with the Cruise and was part of the Pistons’ preseason roster. Umude is averaging 14.2 points and 4.7 rebounds with the

Omari and I bring a special Detroit Pistons trade deadline reaction episode from Thursday’s NBA Trade Deadline. Contrary to the hopes

The dust is beginning to settle on the NBA trade deadline deal that saw the Pistons ship Bey out, with the forward landing in Atlanta, and James Wiseman arriving in Detroit. I’ve been angry and writing about it all day, and the latest little nugget of info was so infuriating that I feel like it

James Wiseman is now a proud member of the maligned center who Troy Weaver signed/drafted/traded for club. He joins the likes of Detroit Pistons luminaries like: Justin Patton, Tony Bradley, Dewayne Dedmon, Christian Wood, Isaiah Stewart, Jahlil Okafor, Mason Plumlee, Tyler Cook, Luka Garza, Kelly Olynyk, Balsa Koprivica, DeAndre Jordan, Bol Bol, Marvin Bagley III,

There are initial reports that the Detroit Pistons have agreed to send Saddiq Bey to the Golden State Warriors for James Wiseman, with the Warriors rerouting Bey to the Atlanta Hawks for five second-round picks, per Adrian Wojnarowksi. Detroit is also sending Kevin Knox to make the money work, per Woj. There are no indications

I regret to inform you, Troy Weaver, lover of maligned centers everywhere, is at it again. At least if the latest NBA trade rumors floating around could be believed. Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports reports that the Detroit Pistons and Golden State Warriors have had discussions centered on a swap of Saddiq Bey for former

Despite the prevailing wisdom being today will be a quiet deadline for the Detroit Pistons, that doesn’t mean it will be a silent one.While most fans are pining for an epic return on a deal involving veteran forward Bojan Bogdanovic or guard Alec Burks, the most likely scenario is that those two vets stay put

The Detroit Pistons are in active conversations, though a deal in the final hours of the NBA Trade Deadline involving one of its major pieces seems unlikely, according to The Athletic.

The NBA Trade Deadline is here! Teams have until 3 p.m. ET to make trades and your Detroit Pistons are one of the teams to watch in the next few hours. They have desirable pieces, sure, but also may stand pat as they look to finally make a turn in their rebuild next season. The

There have been 633 players traded at the NBA trade deadline since the league established a cutoff date in 1987. For years, only a handful of players would be moved. Now, This League ™ is as well-known for its off-court drama and maneuvering as it is the on-court product. However, if you look back through

I picked a good time to wake suddenly at 4:30 in the morning. Bleary-eyed, but surprisingly awake, I decided to grab my phone. I wasn’t really expecting to do anything or see any news, but it’s a sick compulsion plenty of us are familiar with. To my shock, and that’s putting it mildly, I saw

Shortly before tonight’s game tipped off, it was announced that the Cleveland Cavaliers would be without their dynamic backcourt of Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland. The pair also missed a game against the Detroit Pistons earlier this season, back in November, and that wasn’t an issue then as Cleveland cruised to a 112-88 win at

The Detroit Pistons travel to Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse for a one-game road trip to play a Central Division rival — the Cleveland Cavaliers. The hometown Cavs enter the night boasting a dominant 3-game winning streak where they have throttled opponents by 15 points or more in each victory. For Detroit, it has been a tick
