In the end, the Detroit Pistons needed a CEO and a leader of men, and owner Tom Gores feels like he found it in Trajan Langdon, the team’s new president of basketball operations. The Pistons hired Langdon three weeks ago, and have since added several people to the front office, fired a GM, fired a

New Detroit Pistons president Trajan Langon certainly has plenty of work to reshape Detroit’s roster into something worth building. He has plenty of options — young players to ship out, a top-5 draft pick to use or trade, and $65 million in cap space to either grab legit starters or to sell off for future

At the NBA Draft Lottery, the unthinkable (yet totally predictable) happened when the Detroit Pistons fell once again to the 5th pick, and there is a real chance the Pistons will pick even lower than that. That’s right! We’re talking about trade-down scenarios. In a draft without clear-cut premier players, either very few trades happen

The Detroit Pistons are moving quickly, as they must, to hire a head coach to replace Monty Williams. The team has received permission to interview Sean Sweeney, Micah Nori, and JB Bickerstaff for the vacant head coach position, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. The Pistons are expected to expand the interview pool and speak

The NBA Draft is waiting on the Pistons’ doorstep. With no surefire franchise-altering superstar at the top of the board, draft anticipation seems duller than usual. Plus, the Pistons have had other crucial decisions on their mind, like the hiring of new President of Basketball Operations Trajan Langdon, the departure of former General Manager Troy

The Detroit Pistons have fired head coach Monty Williams just one year after making him the highest paid coach in NBA history. The Pistons are still on the hook for $65 million guaranteed on his deal over the next five years. The news was first reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Williams leaves after guiding an

The Boston Celtics gave up early in game 4 of the NBA Finals. Either they took such a vicious punch from a desperate Dallas Mavericks team they could never recover or … they sort of didn’t mind dropping one game because it meant they could win the NBA Finals on their home floor. Luka Doncic

The Detroit Pistons were the worst team in the NBA. They have promising young players, a top-5 pick in the NBA Draft, and an exciting young star-in-the-making named Cade Cunningham. What they need is a new coach who makes sound rotation decisions and has a shorter leash for these young players. More developmental prospects than

When a relationship is over, it’s best to make a clean break. There is no sense of sticking around to ease the financial burden of the mortgage. Do not stay together for the sake of the kids. Just go your separate ways. The same is true of head coaches and NBA teams. Monty Williams was

In an NBA draft that promises nothing except unpredictability, Detroit Bad Boys contributors Austen Flores and Max Sturm are back with predictions about how the board could fall in their annual mock draft. This year’s draft has a clear lack of those type of top-3 star-level prospects, but it doesn’t hurt for high-level and even

Nothing is official, but a new report from NBA reporter Marc Stein indicates that Monty Williams will return to the Detroit Pistons for his second year as head coach. Williams has approximately $65 million remaining on the six guaranteed years he signed with Detroit last offseason. The GM who signed him to that deal, potentially

It’s all over but the trophy presentation. The Boston Celtics are clearly the superior team on both ends of the floor, and have ridden their strength to a 3-0 series lead and a potential NBA Finals sweep of the Dallas Mavericks. Boston has sometimes let its foot off the gas, but they have the scoring,

There is a trifecta of joy and misery awaiting Detroit Pistons fans this offseason. First, a decision made on the future of head coach Monty Williams. Second, what the team does in the NBA Draft. Third, what the team decides to do in free agency. For a brief moment, it looked like news broke that

The Dallas Mavericks are facing an 0-2 deficit in the NBA Finals, but they are at home, nobody outside of Luka Doncic has really excelled as of yet, and the Boston Celtics are navigating the rest of the series with the potential of not having Kristaps Porzingis at all. The series is far from over.

I have no idea whether the Detroit Pistons will ultimately fire head coach Monty Williams one year after signing him to a record-setting contract. It’s not my money, I don’t know the inner workings of what the team truly feels about him, or what Trajan Langdon thinks of the team the now-deposed Troy Weaver fielded

The Boston Celtics put quite a stamp on the NBA Finals in Game 1 with a dominant performance that saw them outclass the Dallas Mavericks in virtually every facet. The Celtics relied on a one-two-three punch of Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis off the bench, and Jayson Tatum. The ability to rely so heavily on their

Trajan Langdon continues to reform the Detroit Pistons front office, and according to a new report, one new member could be one of the finalists he beat out for the president of basketball operations role. Marc Stein reports that Dennis Lindsey, who was one of the finalists who met with Tom Gores as part of
