The moment Jerami Grant was traded, the big question became, “Who is going to take his place in the starting lineup?” The answer wasn’t found in free agency, with the Detroit Pistons adding center Nerlens Noel, shooting guard Alec Burks and long-shot reclamation project Kevin Knox. Nor was it found in free agency where the

The Detroit Pistons play the Washington Wizards at 6 p.m. ET. The game will be broadcast on ESPN2. Jaden Ivey scored 20 points and had 6 rebounds and 6 assists in his first game. Jalen Duren was even more impressive in his limited minutes, scoring 9 points. This is the GameThread, and I will add

Every offseason has been an adventure for the Detroit Pistons under Troy Weaver. From the draft, to trades and free agency, the Pistons have dipped their toes into every pool during Weaver’s complete overhaul of the roster. Armed with the most cap space in the NBA, many people anticipated the Pistons’ offseason fireworks to be

The first basket for the Detroit Pistons in 2022 Las Vegas Summer League was hopefully a sign of things to come for the franchise going forward. Rookie guard Jaden Ivey received the swing pass and tossed it toward the rim where a wide open Jalen Duren eagerly scooped up the pass and yammed the ball

Fans will get their first look at rookies Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren tonight as the Detroit Pistons face the Portland Trail Blazers on opening night of Las Vegas Summer League action — provided you’re able to stay up until midnight to see the game. Perhaps you’ll record the game and watch it later or

The Detroit Pistons start their Summer League play tonight against the Portland Trail Blazers, where fans will get their first look at the shiny new rookies. It is inevitable that fans and media alike will label these young players as “future superstars” or “busts” (see the contrasting opinions from Chet Holmgren’s debut and second game),

Here at DBB we are your comprehensive Detroit Pistons site, and Summer League is no different. As we get ready for the team’s first game against the Portland Trail Blazers and excitedly await the debuts of Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren, let us also not forget it will be the debut for up to nine

A bit of spring cleaning as we await the midnight debut of the Detroit Pistons in Las Vegas Summer League tonight as fans look for clarity on who is in and who is out of the lineup. First and foremost, I would expect tonight to be a showcase for Jaden Ivey, picked fifth overall by

The Detroit Pistons kick off Summer League actions in about 12 hours with a midnight opening of the Las Vegas Summer League. The Pistons roster and Summer League plans continue to take shape, and the latest information we have seems to indicate that while Cade Cunningham will be on the roster, he will not see

If there is one thing that Detroit Pistons GM Troy Weaver loves more than centers, it is former lottery picks that haven’t quite found their footing in the NBA. In three years, Weaver has brought in the likes of Jahlil Okafor (former No. 3 overall pick), Josh Jackson (No. 4), Marvin Bagley III (No. 2),

The Pistons Pulse is brought to you by The Detroit Free Press and is co hosted by Bryce Simon of MotorCityHoops and Omari Sankofa II, Detroit Pistons beat writer for The Detroit Free Press. With the Detroit Pistons off-season closing down and possibly complete, Omari and Bryce take the opportunity to look at the individual

Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode Ben Gulker and I talk about the roster changes the Pistons have made over the course of the early free agency period. Bringing back Hamidou Diallo and Marvin Bagley and bringing in Nerlens Noel and Alec Burks (and Kevin Knox

In a whirlwind of a night, your Detroit Pistons came out of the NBA 2022 Draft as major winners of the lottery. For the third consecutive season, Troy Weaver and the front office appear to have nailed the draft with the selections of Purdue guard Jaden Ivey and Memphis center Jalen Duren. In a matter

As active as I was scouting players during the 2022 NBA Draft cycle, Gabriele Procida was not a name I was familiar with or a player on whom I had done any research. So, when Troy Weaver and the Detroit Pistons were on the clock at No. 36, I was REALLY hoping to see them

The Detroit Pistons were looking for a bit of size on the wing, and they hope they’ve found it in free agent Kevin Knox, who agreed to a two-year $6 million deal. It appears Troy Weaver’s going rate for career reclamation projects is $3 million per season as Weaver handed the disappointing former No. 9

It looks like the 18-game audition last season for the Detroit Pistons paid off in a big way for Marvin Bagley III. The former No. 2 overall pick was mostly glued to the bench and had worn out his welcome in Sacramento. But he found new life, and playing time, in Detroit, and now he

The Detroit Pistons announced their Summer League roster on Thursday, with Jaden Ivey being joined on the squad by the members of Detroit’s young core — Cade Cunningham, Saddiq Bey, Isaiah Stewart, Killian Hayes, Isaiah Livers and Saben Lee. While much of Detroit’s core will be on the squad, I wouldn’t expect those third-year players

There is nary a peep coming out of NBA front offices and the reporters that cover them as NBA teams want to avoid leaking the details of contracts early when they are technically not allowed to begin negotiating with free agents until 6 p.m. In recent years rumors would fly about deals in the works

The beginning of Troy Weaver’s tenure with the Detroit Pistons began with a bang. Weaver traded Bruce Brown and Luke Kennard, signed Jerami Grant and Mason Plumlee, and acquired enough centers to fill an entire division’s worth of rosters at one point. Many onlookers scratched their heads searching for an explanation of what the moves
