The NBA trade deadline is a little over 24 hours away. Trade rumors are swirling, big names are on the block and somehow the rebuilding Detroit Pistons are being mentioned with most of them. You wanna ship out Aaron Gordon? The Pistons are listening. Ready to cut bait on upcoming free agent Victor Oladipo? He’s

We’re only a day and a half away from the 2021 NBA Trade deadline, so you know what that means! Speculative trade conversation time! Matt Way and I talk some official trade discussions, including the Sacramento Kings offering up Marvin Bagley for Saddiq Bey. Some trade rumors, including the Pistons “lurking” around Victor Oladipo, as
Last offseason, the Detroit Pistons brought much of their 2019-20 roster back for an in-market bubble. That group consisted of every player who would qualify as being a part of their young core — Luke Kennard, Sekou Doumbouya, Bruce Brown and Svi Mykhailiuk being chief among them — as well as Justin Patton, who became
With the NBA trade deadline approaching on Thursday, the Pistons likely won’t be involved in any major deals, unless they’re the third team in a multi-team deal. General manager Troy Weaver was very active in reshaping the roster in free agency and during the draft, but with so many young players and just a few
After being named the G League’s Most Valuable Player and Rookie of the Year on Monday, Delaware Blue Coats forward Paul Reed – who is on a two-way contract with the Sixers – headlines the All-NBA G League First Team, as the league announced today in a press release. Reed was joined on the All-NBAGL
Last Wednesday, Detroit native and former Eastern Michigan University basketball coach, Rob Murphy, was named the first president and general manager of the newest G League franchise, and fifth NBA D/G League affiliate of the Detroit Pistons, the Motor City Cruise. Murphy brings a lot of experience in working with basketball youth. After obtaining his
The Detroit Pistons are among the teams linked to the latest hot name entering the free agent market — Toronto Raptors shooting guard Norman Powell. The sharpshooter will be 28 in May and is in the midst of his third consecutive season of really strong play. With the Raptors roster decimated by injuries and health
Raj Mehta-USA TODAY Sports NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 schedule: How to watch and betting lines by Mike Phillips Jerami Grant rumors have been swirling this offseason and the Boston Celtics are reportedly interested in pursuing him ahead of Thursday’s deadline. By this Thursday, March 25, at 3 p.m. ET NBA teams will need to have
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
I don’t know if this says more about what a good draft pick Saddiq Bey was or what a disastrous pick Marvin Bagley III was, but according to a recent report, the Detroit Pistons turned down a Sacramento Kings offer of Bagley for Bey. Chris Haynes of Yahoo reports the former No. 2 overall pick
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
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
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
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

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
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
