Detroit Bad Boys

The Detroit Pistons were the most active team during NBA trade deadline week. Owner Tom Gores promised change was coming to the roster, and change has, in fact, arrived. Eight new players. Veterans shipped out and disappointing draft picks released. This is not the Pistons of October-January. It’s the Pistons as they always should have

It was not a quiet deadline for the Detroit Pistons. In fact, no team was more active on NBA Trade Deadline day than the Detroit Pistons, and no team has been more active since Detroit made its first move in a trade with the Washington Wizards on Jan. 14. Now that the dust is starting

Finding no takers on the trade market, the Detroit Pistons released Killian Hayes, the former seventh overall pick and the first draft selection of Troy Weaver’s tenure as general manager of the Pistons. The release of Hayes marks an end on one of the most consequential and, frankly, disastrous moves of Weaver’s tenure, which has

It is unknown whether the Pistons will make any other moves after acquiring Simone Fonteccio, Troy Brown Jr, and Shake Milton in seperate trades yesterday. You can read our analysis on those deals on Detroit Bad Boys. One thing that is known, is that the Pistons will be short-handed, as none of the players they

The Detroit Pistons made its big move of NBA Trade Deadline day by sending Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks to the New York Knicks in exchange for Quentin Grimes, two second-round picks and salary filler. Adrian Wojnarowski was the first to report the full scope of the deal between the two teams. Before we get

The Detroit Pistons made their first official trade of NBA Trade Deadline day in a deal with the Philadelphia 76ers for sparsely used defensive forward Danuel House. The Pistons will get a second-round pick via the New York Knicks in the deal. Adrian Wojnarowski was the first to report the deal. The primary motivator for

The NBA Trade Deadline is today. In fact, it’s in four hours. The deadline has already been in full gear, with Buddy Hield traded to the Sixers, and Gordon Hayward traded to the Thunder. The Pistons have been rumored to be engaged with the Sixers (though the Hield deal maybe ends those talks) and the

The Detroit Pistons are seemingly not done dealing with the NBA trade deadline hitting at 3 p.m. ET today. Detroit has already traded veteran point guard Monte Morris to the Denver Nuggets for Troy Brown Jr. and Shake Milton, and traded Kevin Knox to the Utah Jazz for Simone Fontecchio. Both deals also involved draft

Jaden Ivey scored a career-high 37 points, including 19 in the fourth quarter to power the Detroit Pistons past the Sacramento Kings 133-120 in front of a stunned crowd at the Golden One Center. It was a physical game that had explosive runs from both teams, with the teams combining for 32 three-pointers and 106

The Detroit Pistons are trading Monte Morris for Troy Brown Jr., Shake Milton, and a 2030 second-rounder pick, according to media reports. It was not the homecoming anyone wanted for Morris, a Flint native, who was excited to come to his home state team in an offseason deal with the Washington Wizards. A knee strain

Detroit Pistons veteran perimeter shooter Alec Burks is a potential trade target for both the New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The Pistons pair of veterans have been hot names on the trade market for contending teams looking to add scoring, but Detroit has thus far been reluctant to

The word from inner circles throughout the NBA landscape is that the Detroit Pistons are reluctant to trade sweet-shooting forward Bojan Bogdanovic. It makes a certain amount of sense that a team with a dearth of 3-point shooting would want to hang onto one of the most reliable 3-point shooters in the game despite the

The Detroit Pistons acquired second-year wing Simone Fontecchio from the Utah Jazz in exchange for a 2024 second-round pick, Kevin Knox and the draft rights to Gabriele Procida. The trade, which was first reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, has Detroit sending the most favorable of either Washington or Memphis second-round picks this draft. The Pistons

If you are somebody that works a normal job like myself and also root for a team with the worst record in the NBA, West Coast games are great because it gives you an excuse to not watch. When that West Coast game is against a Sacramento Kings team that is currently 5th place in

The Detroit Pistons have already made one trade in this disastrous season, acquiring Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala for Marvin Bagley III, Isaiah Livers and seconds earlier this month. The team has played better, but they’re far from fixed. The guys dove into what GM Troy Weaver might have up his sleeve as we approach

With the Feb. 8 trade deadline fast approaching, we are hearing the last gasps of all the rumors and misdirections floating around NBA circles. For Detroit Pistons fans, it has been surprisingly, and perhaps distressingly silent. There are various names being gloated that we will get to, but I wanted to start with one that

The Detroit Pistons couldn’t find answers for the Orlando Magic’s stifling defense, and they could do nothing to stop Magic forward Franz Wagner, who matched a career high with 38 points in Orlando’s 111-99 victory. The Pistons played a strong first half, but eventually, they stopped sharing the ball, the threes stopped going down, and

The Killian Hayes era for the Detroit Pistons looks like it’s coming to a close. The fourth-year point guard has found himself out of the team’s rotation with rookie Marcus Sasser emerging and veteran Monte Morris firmly entrenched. After starting 144 games in his career, including 30 this year, Hayes has been a healthy DNP

The Los Angeles Clippers have won six of their previous seven games and have the second best net rating in the NBA in that span, trailing only the scorching-hot New York Knicks. The Clippers are as healthy as they’ve been all year, and that is certainly helping them find their groove. Kawhi Leonard once again
