I expect a very quiet NBA trade deadline for the Detroit Pistons. With four days remaining before the deadline, Wayne Ellington is on the only player I’d give a greater than 50% chance to be dealt. And even that is much closer to 55% than it is to 90%. This might be a seller’s market
The Pistons recently turned down an offer from the Kings that would have sent rookie forward Saddiq Bey to Sacramento in a deal involving Marvin Bagley III, league sources tell Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports. After Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report suggested earlier today that Bagley would welcome a change of scenery, Haynes reiterates that
Many front offices around the NBA are skeptical that the Raptors will ultimately part ways with point guard Kyle Lowry due to a variety of factors, including his $30.5MM salary, but swingman Norman Powell is a “far different story,” writes Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report. As Fischer notes, Powell is expected to decline his $11.6MM
The 2021 NBA trade deadline is Thursday at 3 p.m., and this year’s market is still taking shape. Many teams who in years past would have been sellers are now potentially buyers, and that gives an advantage to a team like the Detroit Pistons, with so few teams billed as clear sellers. That’s because of
After the Detroit Pistons traded Svi Mykhailiuk earlier this month, coach Dwane Casey said he would have to be creative with his lineups to keep at least one of their best shooters on the court at all times. Casey was referring to Jerami Grant, Saddiq Bey and Wayne Ellington, the only players on the roster
8:56am: Gordon has reportedly requested a trade through his representatives, sources tell Jared Weiss and Sam Amick of The Athletic. A report last week suggested that the Magic forward would be “open to a change of scenery.” 8:42am: The Rockets and Magic have engaged in serious talks about a potential Aaron Gordon trade, league sources
Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we talk about your 12-29 Detroit Pistons. Ben Gulker and I talk about Isaiah Stewart’s ceiling, Frank Jackson taking advantage of more playing time, the good news about Killian Hayes’ return, and a new segment I’m calling “The Awful Pistons
Detroit — Two is that number that the Pistons just can’t seem to get over. For the second time this season, the Pistons reached a two-game win streak, and for the second time, they didn’t make it to three. The Pistons were in control in the first half but gave up the lead in the

The Pistons couldn’t keep the win streak going and had one of the few duds they’ve had all season, with a 100-86 loss to the Bulls. Besides Jerami Grant, who had 26 points, the Pistons couldn’t get much going offensively. They only made four 3-pointers and shot just 16% from beyond the arc. Here are
Facing an opportunity to win three straight games for the first time since the 2018-19 season, the Detroit Pistons came out strong on Sunday. They led by as many as eight points in the first half, behind a quick start by Jerami Grant. Unfortunately, the Chicago Bulls surged in the third quarter to defeat the Pistons, 100-86, at
It just felt like a play that set the tone. The Detroit Pistons won the opening tip, Mason Plumlee tapping the ball back toward three of his teammates. What should have been a forgettable moment quickly turned into a highlight as Chicago Bulls rookie Patrick Williams intercepted the tap, dribbled, and threw down a huge
Detroit — The Pistons have had their share of injury issues this season. Oddly, it seems to have come simultaneously at various positions, making it a little trickier for coach Dwane Casey to manage from a roster perspective. Early in the season, it was Jahlil Okafor, which left only Mason Plumlee and Isaiah Stewart as
Are the Detroit Pistons … too good? The level of competence has been refreshing all season, especially because it’s never truly led to an abundance of winning. For a team in the beginning stages of a rebuild, losing and securing a high draft pick — especially in such a vaunted draft year — is just
For the second time this season, the Detroit Pistons will have an opportunity to win three games in the row. To achieve that goal they need to beat their division rivals, Chicago Bulls, at home tonight. The task could look tough when you see it through the prism of the whole season, but it looks
In five post-All Star break games, the Detroit Pistons look similar to how they did during the first half. They’ve had two wins against the Toronto Raptors and Houston Rockets, competitive losses against two likely playoff teams in the Brooklyn Nets and Charlotte Hornets, and a blowout defeat to the San Antonio Spurs. The Pistons remain
Josh Jackson is having himself a pretty good year with the Detroit Pistons. Despite two stretches sustaining and returning from injury lowering his season averages, it’s been easily Jackson’s best season in the NBA. If you want to hear more on that specifically and how well he’s played outside of his non-100 percent stretches, I
Who is Jason Preston? He’s the former Piston Powered blogger, of course, and a big Detroit Pistons fan. He’s also the Ohio Bobcats standout point guard and an NBA prospect, and a key reason the Mid-American Conference tournament champion 13-seed Ohio is a popular upset pick Saturday night against 4-seed Virginia at Assembly Hall in Bloomington,
