The Detroit Pistons have traded forward Jerami Grant to the Portland Trail Blazers for the 2025 first-round pick via Milwaukee, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The Pistons are sending Grant into a $21 million trade exception, which leaves Detroit with approximately $43 million of cap space this summer, according to Wojnarowski. FINAL MOCK DRAFT: Pistons

If you’ve followed many of us draft-heads here at DBB, like ScottFL and myself, you will know we don’t advocate drafting traditional centers. As the league becomes increasingly perimeter-oriented on both sides of the ball, centers that can neither guard perimeter players in space nor space the floor themselves with the three-point shot have become
The NBA Draft is almost here and Detroit Pistons fans will get a much better sense of the direction of their favorite team once the dust settles and the 58th pick is made. Right now, the Pistons pick fifth overall, but all eyes are actually on the Sacramento Kings and pick four. Who will they
Tevin Brown is definitely one of the guys I am betting on to be a sleeper for the 2022 NBA Draft. A guard out of Murray State listed at 6-foot-5 and 175 pounds, he may seem on the smaller side, but he does have big-time game. Brown played four years for the Racers and even
Now that we have looked at a couple of forwards as possible second-round picks in the NBA Draft, let’s switch our attention to the guard spots. Someone I was completely tardy to the party for in this 2022 NBA Draft cycle is guard Žiga Samar. Samar plays for Urbas Fuenlabrada in the Spanish ACB league
The 2022 NBA Draft is almost upon us, and I can’t wait for it to be over so I can just know who’s gonna be on the court for the Detroit Pistons in the Las Vegas Summer League. The draft isn’t here YET, though, which leaves us with many a rumor and many a mock
While we here at DBB did talk about Shaedon Sharpe being the mystery man of the 2022 NBA Draft, personally, I think that title goes to Florida State’s John Butler Jr. If you glance at his stats, you will be underwhelmed with his per-game averages of 5.9 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 0.7 assists. Butler does,
Here at Detroit Bad Boys we try and give you as in-depth NBA Draft coverage as possible whether it be the first round, second round, or even the team’s potential undrafted free agents. While the majority of the talk has been about the team’s 5th overall pick—and rightly so—the team does also currently own the
Troy Weaver, predictably, didn’t tip his hand during his pre-draft media availability on Monday. The Detroit Pistons will value upside, but they don’t see age and upside being correlated, he said. If they believe an older, more experienced prospect has more long-term potential, they will go that route. Roster fit matters, but roster fit is
The NBA Draft takes place Thursday, and to many Detroit Pistons fans, the most exciting aspect of the day won’t be who the team selects fifth overall, but what they finally get for all those mythical Jerami Grant trades they’ve made in their head for the past 1.5 years. The fan base, it seems, is
With the NBA Draft approaching on Thursday, the Pistons are in an interesting spot. They have the No. 5 pick, just behind the Sacramento Kings, who pick fourth following the Orlando Magic (No. 1), Oklahoma City Thunder (No. 2) and Houston Rockets (No. 3). General manager Troy Weaver didn’t drop any hints about which way the Pistons
The 2022 NBA draft is just over 48 hours away and the rumors continue to swirl. From teams looking to trade up, to those reported to be heavily favoring one prospect over another, it can be tough to keep it all straight and sort out the smokescreens from the truth. But what we do know is
Kellen Voss of Maize N Brew sat down with me recently to discuss the guys from the 2021-22 Michigan Wolverine’s Basketball team and their chances of being drafted in Thursday’s NBA Draft.
