I don’t like to talk about games being a “must-lose,” but the Detroit Pistons have three games against the Washington Wizards between tonight and April 17. Being a road game helps. Being the second night of a back-to-back helps. The next four are against the Wizards, Raptors, Blazers, and Wizards again. People worried the Pistons

The Detroit Pistons are trying to invent its backcourt rotation anew after recent trades sent away sniper Svi Mykhailiuk and rock-solid playmaker Delon Wright. Yesterday, the team had a chance to try its latest acquisitions, Hamidou Diallo, who looks to have a long-term future in Detroit, and Cory Joseph who likely does not. Regrettably, Detroit

The Detroit Pistons came up just short against the James Harden-led Brooklyn Nets Friday night, 113-111. While Blake Griffin made his third appearance for his new team, the Nets were without Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. Harden scored 44 points in 42 minutes and was just two assists short of a triple-double. Griffin made his

Blake Griffin returned to Detroit for the first time since he was bought out by the team and caught on with the Brooklyn Nets. Griffin was obviously energized and had his best game as a Net in the team’s 113-111 win. Blake had 17 points and a nice alley-oop dunk. He also sold a number

Now that the dust has settled following the trade deadline, the grind that is this Pistons season continues. Detroit made a move around the edges when they moved Delon Wright to the Sacramento Kings for Cory Joseph and a couple of second-round picks while Brooklyn stood pat despite a flurry of earlier Spencer Dinwiddie rumors.

The NBA Trade Deadline has come and gone. The Chicago Bulls went for it, the Orlando Magic pushed the rebuild button and Danny Ainge again balked at a significant deadline deal. The Detroit Pistons, well, they were active, but not active. The staff gives their thoughts on the Pistons’ moves, as well as the rest

Today is NBA Trade Deadline day! We have our first major trade with the Orlando Magic surprising everyone by sending All-Star Nikola Vucevic to the Chicago Bulls for Wendell Carter Jr., Otto Porter and two top-four protected first-round picks. We’ve also had a Detroit Pistons trade with Delon Wright getting sent to the Sacramento Kings

The clock struck 1 a.m. on the East Coast and Detroit unofficially started NBA trade deadline day with a minor move that could have major reverberations in Detroit. Delon Wright was out and Cory Joseph and two secound-round picks were in. This isn’t going to do much of anything to radically transform the standings. But

Lazarus Jackson (@lazchance) talked to Mark Schindler (@MSchindlerNBA) about the Detroit Pistons’ loss to the Indiana Pacers, and each team’s plans at the trade deadline. That, in turn, became a discussion about Edmond Sumner’s progression, how much dominating the G-League is worth, Batman: The Animated Series, Isaiah Stewart being ready to fire from downtown, Henry

Is it any suprise that the Detroit Pistons are the ones that opened up NBA Trade Deadline day, and that they did it at three in the dang morning? Does Troy Weaver ever sleep? The deal will send starting point guard Delon Wright to the Sacramento Kings for point guard Corey Joseph and a pair

The Detroit Pistons got everything they asked for except the win against the Indiana Pacers. The two teams traded blows courtesy of spurts of explosive offense by both sides. The Pacers outlasted the Pistons 116-111, but Detroit had plenty to be happy about. Wayne Ellington played for the first time in five games and was

Not long ago, we discussed Mason Plumlee’s important role in the running of Detroit Pistons’ offense and defense. Mason’s success is not based on wins and losses, but on how he contributes to the development of the team’s crop of young players. One of those young players, Isaiah Stewart, is progressing so quickly, he might

The Detroit Pistons and the Indiana Pacers face off tonight, and the two teams could look very different this time tomorrow. The struggling Pacers have reportedly put everyone on the trade block — likely just to see if there is enough value to do a bit of a reset. This includes franchise stalwarts Domantas Sabonis

With all eyes focused on the 2021 trade deadline, it’s easy to forget that there are still games to play. Today’s slate includes your Detroit Pistons facing off against a sputtering Indiana Pacers team currently sitting in 10th place in the East. Both teams have struggled this season – Detroit came into this year knowing

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 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

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
