Detroit Bad Boys

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NBA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Detroit Pistons fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. The Detroit Pistons have already made a couple of smaller moves leading into the NBA

The Detroit Pistons are trading Monte Morris for Troy Brown Jr., Shake Milton, and a 2030 second-rounder pick, according to media reports. It was not the homecoming anyone wanted for Morris, a Flint native, who was excited to come to his home state team in an offseason deal with the Washington Wizards. A knee strain

Detroit Pistons veteran perimeter shooter Alec Burks is a potential trade target for both the New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The Pistons pair of veterans have been hot names on the trade market for contending teams looking to add scoring, but Detroit has thus far been reluctant to

The word from inner circles throughout the NBA landscape is that the Detroit Pistons are reluctant to trade sweet-shooting forward Bojan Bogdanovic. It makes a certain amount of sense that a team with a dearth of 3-point shooting would want to hang onto one of the most reliable 3-point shooters in the game despite the

The Detroit Pistons acquired second-year wing Simone Fontecchio from the Utah Jazz in exchange for a 2024 second-round pick, Kevin Knox and the draft rights to Gabriele Procida. The trade, which was first reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, has Detroit sending the most favorable of either Washington or Memphis second-round picks this draft. The Pistons

If you are somebody that works a normal job like myself and also root for a team with the worst record in the NBA, West Coast games are great because it gives you an excuse to not watch. When that West Coast game is against a Sacramento Kings team that is currently 5th place in

The Detroit Pistons have already made one trade in this disastrous season, acquiring Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala for Marvin Bagley III, Isaiah Livers and seconds earlier this month. The team has played better, but they’re far from fixed. The guys dove into what GM Troy Weaver might have up his sleeve as we approach

With the Feb. 8 trade deadline fast approaching, we are hearing the last gasps of all the rumors and misdirections floating around NBA circles. For Detroit Pistons fans, it has been surprisingly, and perhaps distressingly silent. There are various names being gloated that we will get to, but I wanted to start with one that

The Detroit Pistons couldn’t find answers for the Orlando Magic’s stifling defense, and they could do nothing to stop Magic forward Franz Wagner, who matched a career high with 38 points in Orlando’s 111-99 victory. The Pistons played a strong first half, but eventually, they stopped sharing the ball, the threes stopped going down, and

The Killian Hayes era for the Detroit Pistons looks like it’s coming to a close. The fourth-year point guard has found himself out of the team’s rotation with rookie Marcus Sasser emerging and veteran Monte Morris firmly entrenched. After starting 144 games in his career, including 30 this year, Hayes has been a healthy DNP

The Los Angeles Clippers have won six of their previous seven games and have the second best net rating in the NBA in that span, trailing only the scorching-hot New York Knicks. The Clippers are as healthy as they’ve been all year, and that is certainly helping them find their groove. Kawhi Leonard once again

The Detroit Pistons will be without two key big men as the team announced Isaiah Stewart and Mike Muscala would both miss time with an ankle injury and concussion, respectively. Stewart will be re-evaluated in 10-14 days, while Muscala will be unable to return to basketball activities until completing a mandated return-to-participation process, the team

The Cleveland Cavaliers entered Wednesday’s game as one of the hottest teams in the NBA. The Detroit Pistons entered with a pulse for the first time this season after winning two of their last three games. And, wouldn’t you know it, they put on a fun, if not sloppy, show. Danilo Gallinari turned back the

When Darius Garland and Evan Mobley went down with long-term injuries within a few weeks of each other, many people thought the Cavs’ season was over. Instead, they rattled off a solid 2nd half of December and a solid January and find themselves in the thick of the playoff race. They will now have a

Detroit Pistons second-year standouts Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren will take part in the Rising Stars game at the NBA’s 2024 All-Star Weekend in Indianapolis. The Pistons sophomores join a player pool of the best and brightest young stars across the league, plus a handful of selections from the NBA G League. The event is

The Detroit Pistons were coming off a dispiriting loss to the Washington Wizards, were on the second night of a back-to-back, and starting point guard Cade Cunningham was an 11th hour scratch. So of course the Pistons were able to outhustle, outmuscle, and outlast the Oklahoma City Thunder in a 120-104 win. The Pistons protected

The Detroit Pistons have long been pegged as a team much more likely to spend their exorbitant cap space on the trade market instead of waiting for free agency this summer, and rumors suggest a target for that space could be the Bulls’ Zach LaVine. LaVine has been the most explicitly available player on the

The Detroit Pistons won a basketball game. When that statement is available to make, you have to say it like it is. Plus, it’s their second win in less than 10 calendar days! Monte Morris made his season debut, his first game on the floor in a Pistons uniform. The veteran from Flint and 2013
