There has never been more player movement in the NBA. Detroit fans only have to look in their own backyard, as the Detroit Pistons brass have completely overhauled the roster in a

Troy Weaver was explicit about what the immediate future held: “No skipping steps.” Following Thursday night’s successful draft, where the Detroit Pistons selected Jaden Ivey and traded for the rights to Jalen Duren, it appears the Detroit front office has shifted its focus away from Phoenix Suns big-man, Deandre Ayton. Immediately following the draft, we

Oh, how quickly the Jerami Grant trade narrative changed. Wednesday night when it broke that Grant had been traded to the Blazers for a 2025 1st, a move up in the 2nd round, and a couple of future 2nds, I think it left the entire fanbase hoping that there was going to be an ensuing

The NBA Draft could not have realistically fallen any better for Troy Weaver and the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons fell two spots to No. 5 on lottery night, and that looked like a big blow considering the draft featured a consensus big three and Detroit was desperate for high-end talent to pair with Cade Cunningham.

The Detroit Pistons got two of the players near the top of their NBA Draft board Thursday in electric guard Jaden Ivey and athletic big man Jalen Duren.

When news of the trade of Jerami Grant broke, resulting in the Detroit Pistons creating an additional $20 million in cap space, everybody’s focus shifted to free agency and the franchise’s supposed interest in Phoenix Suns’ restricted free agent DeAndre Ayton. The fit made sense as the Pistons are looking for more beef up front

Omari and Bryce stay up late Thursday night after the conclusion of the NBA Draft to bring you their instant recap

The Detroit Pistons continued a string of selecting athletes in the 2022 NBA Draft into the second round with the pick of Italian forward Gabriele Procida out of Fortitudo Bologno. Because I don’t much about Procida, I’ll outsource this to John Hollinger of The Athletic, who listed Procida at No. 33 on his big board.

The Detroit Pistons agreed to a two-way contract with undrafted guard Buddy Boeheim, son of Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim, according to ESPN’s Dave McMenamin. Boeheim played four years for his father at Syracuse, and averaged 19.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists his senior season. He stands 6-foot-6 tall, he’s got good size for a

Troy Weaver is eternally unphased.

The man has a vision — he calls it his process —

There was a lot of heartburn when the Detroit Pistons traded Jerami Grant for a future first round pick, especially when rumors swirled that Grant might net the team a mid lottery pick in the 2022 NBA draft.
