Things are still mostly quiet as the Detroit Pistons look to hire a new president of basketball operations, but The Athletic has a batch of names that have emerged as “viable targets” for the president of basketball operations. The top of the list is headlined by Tim Connelly, who The Athletic says the Pistons are
The Detroit Pistons wrapped up the worst season in franchise history this year, and their reward for all that losing was a familiar sight. They dropped from the No. 1 slot in the lottery to the lowest possible spot they could — the No. 5 overall pick. It’s the second-straight year they’ve fallen from No.
There are so many reasons it is a bad idea for a rebuilding team to trade lottery picks. Young talent that is cost-controlled for 7-8 years, ensuring you are getting players on the upswing instead of the downswing, letting young players grow together and form real chemistry. So why does it seem to make so
It always felt inevitable. The Detroit Pistons, coming off the worst record in the NBA and worst season in franchise history, will be picking fifth overall after falling four spots in the 2024 NBA Draft Lottery. Fate (or math) decreed this seemingly cursed team would not be awarded any lottery luck and would instead fall
The NBA Draft Lottery is dropping on Sunday, May 12. The Detroit Pistons, as has been their habit for several years, have the top odds of landing the No. 1 overall pick. They can also drop as low as the fifth overall selection. In fact, if you’re a fan of math, dropping to five is
Things have been quiet on the Detroit Pistons’ search for a new president of basketball operations. That is partially due to the designated search firm doing a lot of work behind the scenes and some of the prospective candidates for the role were still in the playoffs. The Milwaukee Bucks were unceremoniously eliminated in round

G League Ignite wing Matas Buzelis is a mesmerizing prospect in the 2024 NBA Draft class. Before his season with the Ignite, Buzelis was tabbed as a potential No. 1 pick across many mock drafts and big boards. His size, skillset and shooting ability coming out of high school and an extremely efficient senior season
The 2024 NBA Draft Lottery is now less than a week away. The Detroit Pistons have a lot on the line, holding the league’s worst record, top lottery odds and a guaranteed top-five pick. Top lottery odds don’t mean much any longer, as they only provide a 14% shot at the No. 1 overall pick.

The Detroit Pistons formally announced they would be hiring a president of basketball operations on April 15, but there have been scan updates since. Presumably, the team is working with its national search firm to identify an extensive list of candidates, and will eventually reach out to a select few for initial interviews. Now, there
The Detroit Pistons have an important draft ahead of them. After securing the league’s worst record, only the NBA’s highest honor, Detroit guaranteed themselves a top-five pick. No matter how the draft lottery plays out, the Pistons get to add a top talent or explore trading the pick to improve their roster immediately. With many

The Detroit Pistons were an embarrassment of a franchise in 2023-24. A do-nothing offseason after winning just 17 games, an NBA-record losing streak, a record-setting coaching contract for someone already on the chopping block, a franchise-record for losses, and stalled development for young players. This is the objective reality. And yet … and yet …
The 2024 NBA Draft is quickly approaching, and while it has been labeled weak by many in the draft community, I think that is only true insomuch as there is a lack of a clear No. 1 prospect who you might be able to build a team around. However, in many drafts, some great players
The Detroit Pistons have many needs to address this offseason. That’s putting it lightly. Nothing more necessary than who’s going to steer this ship forward as the franchise’s president of basketball operations. That new executive will have a draft to navigate at the end of June, however, where they can patch roster holes with shiny
It is clear that Cade Cunningham need help and that it is unclear if there are more than two or three players on the Detroit Pistons’ current roster capable of giving it to him. Maybe two or three years down the line, Jaden Ivey, Jalen Duren, and Ausar Thompson put it all together and create
The best thing about this just-concluded season of Detroit Pistons basketball is that it seemed to get so bad that it forced change. There was no clinging to some long-term vision that hadn’t yet come to fruition, there was no scapegoating bad injury luck, and it got so bad that it doesn’t appear that even

The Detroit Pistons 2023-24 season is officially in the history books. It’s not the kind of history you’ll want to crack open anytime soon. For the fans, for the organization, and for the players, this is a season everyone will want to forget. If it’s remembered for anything, hopefully, it is the inflection point. A
