Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we’re talking about your Detroit Pistons. Ben Gulker and I recap Detroit’s offseason moves and Vegas Summer League play, our expectations for this year, and what the US winning the Ryder Cup has to do with this NBA season. Thanks

The Detroit Pistons have shuffled through a number of players as they’ve evaluated their final roster spot. With training camp just around the corner, they’ve made a decision. Shams Charania of The Athletic reported on Friday that the Pistons have converted Luka Garza’s two-way contract to a full NBA deal. We don’t know how much

It is hard to know what the Detroit Pistons have in young Killian Hayes. Due to a mix of injury and ineffectiveness, the early results are not encouraging but at the same time almost nearly irrelevant. Ever since the Pistons lucked into the No. 1 overall pick and drafted Cade Cunningham, the savvy ™ Pistons

The Detroit Pistons announced fans can attend an open practice at Little Caesars Arena on Oct. 9. Doors open at 2 p.m. and the team will take the floor by 2:30 p.m. with the formal practice beginning at 3 p.m., according to the team. Tickets to the practice are free and can be obtained via

We need to turn back the clock for a minute, and think about where it all began for Nikola Jokić. Let’s set aside Jokić’s MVP title, All-NBA teams and All-Star honors as well as All-Rookie Team accolade. Let’s momentarily forget his winning seasons and deep playoffs runs. What do you have? A 20-year-old kid averaging

On an amazing episode of the Motor City Hoops Podcast, I am joined by Anthony Bellino from the Michigan Sports Network, Xs and Os Bros, and BCSN Sports. Anthony and I talk player expectations for members of the roster I did not get to on ep. 50. What kind of seasons do we see for

Feels a little early to be re-drafting the 2020 NBA Draft, doesn’t it? We’ve seen approximately 60 regular season games from these guys. They’ve either impressed us or underwhelmed us. I suppose that’s just how it goes with rookies in a pandemic-shortened season? We just don’t know a lot either way on the 2020 class

It took a while longer, but with Frank Jackson and Hamidou Diallo now returning, I think they offer a great pair of complementary skills that should be utilized in the main rotation for the Detroit Pistons. This duo forms two of the five in the potential lineup combination with the most intrigue for me: Frank

On a shorter episode for the Motor City Hoops Podcast, I am joined by Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer. Jake and I discussed the Pistons offseason including the two most talked about draft picks, Cade Cunningham and Luka Garza. We also get into what he thought about the Pistons free agency. Did he like the move

Hey everyone. I’m Seth, and I oversee all of our NBA sites. This Wednesday will be a big day for our community: we’re moving our comments to a brand new platform, developed especially for SB Nation. All of our basketball communities will be moving to the new platform, and I’m excited about the change. Some

That familiar sound you here — a bellowing gong — heralds the arrival of Ben Wallace, one of the greatest defenders to ever play the game into the Basketball Hall of Fame. Wallace was joined by Pistons greats of both the past and the present. His former teammates that made up the “Best 5 Alive”

The Detroit Pistons kick off preseason with a home game against the San Antonio Spurs on Oct. 6 and will also play the Philadelphia 76ers at home while squaring off against the Memphis Grizzlies and the New York Knicks on the road. The four-game preseason schedule runs from Oct. 6 to Oct. 15. The team

After reading Duke’s recent analysis, there are three things we can tell about Jamorko Pickett based on his four-year college career. One, he’s a good three-point shooter who has the size, length and mechanics that can make him a deadly threat from the perimeter. Two, he’s awful inside the arc, but some of this could

I had the absolute pleasure of being joined by Wes Davenport and @PistonsFanalyst for EPISODE 50 of the Motor City Hoops podcast! First, I am absolutely blessed that the Motor City Hoops Podcast has been fortunate enough to make it to episode 50, and just hope I can push on to 50+ more!!! Second, as

The season is still a month away, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t interest in the Detroit Pistons. With sports gambling now legal in over half of the United States, it feels like a good time to look at the Pistons not from an analytical perspective but through a gambling lens. We’re going to look

The Detroit Pistons has began 2021 offseason with a big splash. First, they won the Draft Lottery, moving up for the first time in franchise history, despite having the least favorable odds for their pre-lotto position to do so. Next, against many temptations to trade their precious number one overall pick, they drafted with it

Keith Black Trudeau joins the MCH Podcast for the second time to give us his amazing insights and stories on The “Teal Era” of Pistons history.

The report comes to us from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski: ESPN Sources: Brooklyn is trading C DeAndre Jordan, four future-second round picks and $5.78M to Detroit for Jahlil Okafor and Sekou Doumbouya. Pistons plan to work through a buyout on two-years, $20M owed Jordan; Nets will save $47M in salary and tax on deal. — Adrian

The Detroit Pistons are projected to win 25.5 games, according to PointsBetUSA, which is the third-lowest win total for the 2021-22 season. While oddsmakers don’t expect much from the Pistons next season, there is far less of a consensus from Pistons fans, whose expectations for the team range from a high lottery pick to a

There are a couple narratives going around the Detroit Pistons right now that motivated me to do a breakdown of third-year forward Sekou Doumbouya. First, with the Pistons currently 1 player over the allotted 15-player limit, I believe Sekou is likely to be traded. I have said myself that I would not be surprised if,
