Troy Weaver shipped off Jerami Grant to Portland for a 2025 first-round pick and a swap of 2022 second-round picks to give himself choices. Something the Detroit Pistons haven’t had much of the last decade. Choices that arrived with the most salary cap room in the league. Choices that don’t have to be made on draft
Call him Trader Troy or the Dream Weaver or any one of those creative nicknames that those in social media routinely come up with. Pistons general manager Troy Weaver isn’t one for standing pat with a roster, especially when he sees an opportunity to improve it. The Pistons, coming off a miserable 23-59 season, have
Jaden Hardy, a Detroit native and former five-star basketball prospect, is projected to be a first-round pick in Thursday night’s NBA Draft. He’s had an atypical road in getting there, though. Hardy, a 6-foot-4 guard, had offers from several elite college programs by the time he was a senior in 2021. From Michigan to Kentucky
The Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night traded Jerami Grant to the Portland Trail Blazers for a 2025 first-round draft pick and additional second-round picks, a league source confirmed to The Detroit News.

The Portland Trail Blazers acquired Pistons forward Jerami Grant the day before the 2022 NBA Draft, and didn’t give up much in immediate assets. Grant has flourished in his time with the Pistons, in part due to the saying, “Well, someone has to score.” But Grant is a capable wing, and has been on the
The Detroit Pistons have traded forward Jerami Grant to the Portland Trail Blazers for the 2025 first-round pick via the Milwaukee Bucks, a league source confirmed to the Free Press. The Pistons are sending Grant into a $21 million trade exception, which leaves Detroit with approximately $43 million of cap space this summer. FINAL MOCK
There is strength in numbers. But there’s also chaos, which is why Thursday’s NBA draft offers so much intrigue. Six teams own multiple first-round picks, Houston and San Antonio — each has three — and Oklahoma City has stockpiled a whopping 19 first-rounders over the next seven years. So a night that already promised some surprises should
The 2022 NBA draft, at last, is Thursday. You likely know the drill by now — the Detroit Pistons have the fifth overall pick and feel good about their odds of landing an impact player. Mock drafts are more art than science, and there will always be surprises on draft night. The Pistons could go in
The Detroit Pistons have traded forward Jerami Grant to the Portland Trail Blazers for the 2025 first-round pick via Milwaukee, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Troy Weaver, predictably, didn’t tip his hand during his pre-draft media availability on Monday. The Detroit Pistons will value upside, but they don’t see age and upside being correlated, he said. If they believe an older, more experienced prospect has more long-term potential, they will go that route. Roster fit matters, but roster fit is
With the NBA Draft approaching on Thursday, the Pistons are in an interesting spot. They have the No. 5 pick, just behind the Sacramento Kings, who pick fourth following the Orlando Magic (No. 1), Oklahoma City Thunder (No. 2) and Houston Rockets (No. 3). General manager Troy Weaver didn’t drop any hints about which way the Pistons
The 2022 NBA draft is just over 48 hours away and the rumors continue to swirl. From teams looking to trade up, to those reported to be heavily favoring one prospect over another, it can be tough to keep it all straight and sort out the smokescreens from the truth. But what we do know is
Cory Joseph has picked up his $5.1 million player option, according to a report from Yahoo Sports’ Chris Haynes. Joseph started 39 games for the Detroit Pistons last season and averaged 8.0 points and 3.6 assists while knocking down 41.4% of his 3-pointers.

The NBA draft is two days away. The Detroit Pistons have the No. 5 pick. They could trade it. They could keep it. They could take an above-the-rim two-guard who struggles to make plays for others or a (relatively) earthbound forward who can shoot. They could take a flier on a high schooler who can
Detroit — Troy Weaver’s not begging for mercy. He insists he’s far from helpless. But with less than 72 hours remaining before the NBA Draft, the Pistons’ general manager will admit this much: Some things are out of his control.
