The Detroit Pistons made one trade before the NBA deadline Thursday afternoon, acquiring athletic power forward Marvin Bagley III from Sacramento in a four-team deal involving seven players. Bagley, as has been well chronicled, did not work out as the No. 2 overall draft pick in 2018 and it cost the Kings dearly. This season,
Jerami Grant wants a team of his own. Or at least to be 1B to someone’s 1A. The Detroit Pistons forward had that a year ago after signing a three-year, $60 million contract and getting the key to the ignition. He then backed up Troy Weaver’s faith by playing the best basketball of his career,
