Troy Weaver’s next decision will be a big one. No, not who he takes in the NBA draft. That’ll depend on luck, and as the Detroit Pistons general manager said Tuesday afternoon, he wasn’t raised to rely on luck. “I know people look at me crazy all the time,” he said. “From Day 1, I
Every offseason is important. This one is especially so for the Detroit Pistons, who are looking to boost their rebuild following a 17-65 season. It was clear this season that, despite some bad luck with injuries, the Pistons need to make a leap in the talent to ascend in a deep Eastern Conference. General manager
Detroit Pistons general manager Troy Weaver takes the podium for his end-of-season news conference Tuesday at 1:10 p.m. at the team’s practice facility in Detroit. You can follow live updates below.

The last time Cade Cunningham played basketball, he missed 10 of his 11 shots. He didn’t have much lift, or burst, or feel because his injured leg was slowing him down. Before that game in Boston, he’d played in 11 other games, and looked like himself in only a couple of them. When he and
The Detroit Pistons are itching to move on. Their 2022-23 season didn’t go as planned. The front office projected confidence in September, and had good reason to expect improvement from last season’s 23-59 finish. A lot went wrong, and the team finished 17-65 — the second-worst record in franchise history. Yet, the optimism that defined
The Detroit Pistons‘ next coach will inherit talent. Young talent, for sure, but still talent. And for that reason, the Pistons will get interest from the best available candidates. So, that’s a start. A start that doesn’t come unless Dwane Casey decided to step down as the Pistons coach Sunday. And he did, telling reporters

He broke his own news Sunday at United Center, after the Pistons concluded the season with a 103-81 loss
CHICAGO — Dwane Casey stepped down as head coach of the Detroit Pistons right after their season finale Sunday. Troy Weaver will hire a new coach for the first time since he was hired as general manager in 2020. The Pistons allowed Casey to make his own decision on his future, and Casey will join
CHICAGO — With three minutes remaining in Sunday’s third quarter, the Chicago Bulls waved the white flag.
