Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams wasn’t able to score a new extension with Boston this offseason, yet he still sees opportunity in his misfortune. During an interview with NBA Insider Shams Charania, Williams discussed how he felt about missing out on a payday: Celtics forward and NBPA VP Grant Williams sits down with @Stadium: “(No […]

This past offseason the Boston Celtics chose not to pay Grant Williams, and other teams are reportedly on the hunt for the forward. The 22nd draft pick of the 2019 class had the opportunity to ink a new contract last month, yet his agent and the Celtics failed to come together on a rookie extension […]

The Golden State Warriors fell to the Detroit Pistons 128-114 on Sunday, weary legs, widespread early shooting struggles and their penchant for lackadaisical defense contributing to a second loss in as many days. Needless to say, going 0-2 against the lottery-bound Pistons and Charlotte Hornets isn’t exactly how the Warriors hoped to begin their first […]

Defense ailed the Golden State Warriors most again in Sunday’s 128-114 loss to the Detroit Pistons. Golden State fouled the hell out of the Pistons, sending them to the line for a whopping 38 free throws attempts. The Warriors were pounded on the defensive glass at times, resulting in 20 second-chance points. Detroit took easy […]

When the Detroit Pistons acquired Bojan Bogdanovic from the Utah Jazz in the offseason, they had planned all along to keep him long term. Now, they got it done after giving the veteran forward a new two-year deal. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Pistons and Bogdanovic agreed to a $39.1 million extension over […]

Detroit Pistons rookie Jaden Ivey has been dealing with a non-COVID illness as of late, keeping him off the court since Tuesday’s loss to the Washington Wizards. While he’s feeling much better, it appears the lottery pick will be a game-time decision for Friday’s matchup with the Atlanta Hawks, per Dwane Casey. Via James L. […]

The Detroit Pistons will not have the services of Jaden Ivey for Wednesday night’s home game against the Atlanta Hawks. According to James L. Edwards III of The Athletic, Ivey is out with a non-Covid illness, so hopefully, he wouldn’t be missing more time beyond the game versus the visiting Hawks. Selected in the first […]

In “what else is new?” news, the Los Angeles Lakers still desperately want to make a Russell Westbrook trade.

Paolo Banchero made all sorts of headlines on Wednesday night as he came out with an eye-popping NBA debut for the Orlando Magic. Unfortunately for him, the Magic lost a close one against the Detroit Pistons, 113-109, which spoiled the No. 1 overall pick’s otherwise stellar evening. Banchero was on the receiving end of LeBron […]

It was a night to remember on Wednesday for Orlando Magic phenom Paolo Banchero, who became the first rookie since LeBron James to post at least 25 points, five rebounds, and five assists in his NBA debut. While the Magic lost a nailbiter, Banchero was honored to be in The King’s company, saying it “means […]

The Detroit Pistons played like a well-oiled machine in their 2022-23 season opener Wednesday night, thanks in large part to their young studs who showed out right in their very first taste of the NBA regular season.

Even if the Detroit Pistons struggled to find a rhythm last season, they ended it on a respectable pace that they could bring over to this season. The organization has decided to build its current roster around prized sophomore Cade Cunningham by adding pieces that would fit perfectly with his play style. Bojan Bogdanovic was […]

Cade Cunningham’s maturity has been one of his key strengths even before he entered the NBA as the no. 1 overall pick of the Detroit Pistons in 2021. However, that didn’t come easy, as Cunningham went through all sorts of pain and ordeal before growing to the player he is today. Recently turning 21, Cunningham […]

The deadline for NBA teams to set their final rosters is Monday. On Friday, it’s been reported by The Athletic’s Shams Charania that the Detroit Pistons are likely to waive Kemba Walker before the deadline. Following that transaction, that will leave the Pistons at the 15 guaranteed roster spots. The Detroit Pistons are likely to […]

Memphis Grizzlies star point guard Ja Morant is one of the most electrifying players in the NBA, capable of tantalizing crowds due to his unreal feats of athleticism. Morant took an All-Star-sized leap last season, averaging 27.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 6.7 assists in 33.1 minutes a night in 57 games. And if his preseason […]

Many feared the worst after Marvin Bagley III injured his knee on a non-contact play during the Detroit Pistons’ preseason game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Bagley slipped as he was running down the court on defense and he proceeded to buckle his knee, immediately falling to the ground in pain. However, it seems as […]

Detroit Pistons big man Marvin Bagley III suffered a scary-looking knee injury and had to be helped off the court during their preseason game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The game has barely started when Bagley suffered the setback. It was a non-contact injury, though, as Bagley accidentally slipped on the floor while positioning to […]

The Detroit Pistons have not been a serious title contender ever since the 2007-08 season. The win-loss column over the past few years has been especially brutal on what had been such a successful franchise, but with exciting guards such as Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey in town, the foundations for the next great Pistons […]

After Kemba Walker was traded to the Detroit Pistons, many fans expected the point guard to be bought out and signed almost immediately. Even though he was unproductive in New York, there was hope that he could still be productive on a different team. However, with the NBA season about to start, Kemba Walker still […]

Kemba Walker made his way to the Detroit Pistons this summer after the New York Knicks traded him (along with No. 13 overall pick Jalen Duren) in exchange for a future first-rounder. It wasn’t long after the move, however, that buyout rumors emerged. At this point, though, Walker still remains a member of the Pistons. […]

The Detroit Pistons have been mired in a constant rebuild ever since their surprise postseason appearance in 2019. They finished last season with a 23-59 record, and try as they might, the Pistons will just be outgunned every night by almost every NBA team. Despite the addition of veteran sharpshooter Bojan Bogdanovic, the Pistons appear […]

Before the Detroit Pistons acquisition of Bojan Bogdanovic from the Utah Jazz, it was thought that quite a few teams would be interested in the veteran wing’s services. The 33-year-old forward was coming off a productive season in which he put up 18.1 points while shooting 45.5 percent from the field and 38.7 percent from […]

The Detroit Pistons finished as one of the worst teams in the NBA last season at 23-59, but the Pistons can take solace in the fact that one of the most promising young players in the NBA in Cade Cunningham plays for them. Nonetheless, barring a gigantic leap from Cunningham, the Pistons appear to be […]

At one point, it felt like the Los Angeles Lakers had the inside track on Bojan Bogdanovic. LA needed more shooters on their squad and the former Utah Jazz veteran seemed to be a perfect fit for them. In the end, however, Utah opted to deal Bogdanovic to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for Kelly […]

Just about 24 hours after ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski broke news that Boston Celtics coach Ime Udoka was facing “a significant suspension – for an unspecified violation of organizational guidelines,” the NBA franchise suspended its head coach for the entire 202-23 season for what is being reported as a consensual, improper relationship with a female member […]

The Detroit Pistons pretty much came out of nowhere to swoop in on Bojan Bogdanovic from the Utah Jazz. The sharp-shooting veteran was heavily linked to the Los Angeles Lakers before the Pistons trade went down, and in the end, the Jazz settled for Kelly Olynyk and Saben Lee in exchange for Bogdanovic. According to […]

It’s well-established that Isiah Thomas and Michael Jordan don’t like each other. Their beef goes way back to when they were NBA stars in the 1980s and 1990s, with the Detroit Pistons-Chicago Bulls rivalry taking center stage, and we got a fresh look at it when The Last Dance came out in 2020. One infamous […]

The Detroit Pistons and Utah Jazz have been two of the most active teams this offseason and that continued on Thursday as they conducted a trade. Bojan Bogdanovic is heading to the Motor City in exchange for Kelly Olynyk and Saben Lee. This deal came as a bit of a surprise considering the Los Angeles […]

The Los Angeles Lakers had been constantly linked to a trade for Utah Jazz veteran Bojan Bogdanovic, who would’ve brought much-needed wing shooting to the team. But, the possibility of the Croatian landing in Southern California went out the window on Thursday as the Detroit Pistons swung a trade for him, sending Kelly Olynyk and […]

The Utah Jazz are pivoting to a full-scale rebuild after trading away former franchise cornerstones Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell. Conventional wisdom suggests that a fire sale would come soon thereafter, with veterans such as Bojan Bogdanovic, Mike Conley, and Jordan Clarkson next to go. Surely enough, another domino has fallen. Bojan Bogdanovic has reportedly […]

Detroit Pistons legend Isiah Thomas is one of the best point guards to ever play the game of basketball. After years of playoff heartbreak in the 1980s, the man affectionately known as ‘Zeke’ finally broke through in 1989 and 1990, leading the Bad Boys Pistons to back-to-back championships. However, only four years after getting his […]

The Detroit Pistons will convene for training camp in a few days to formally begin their preparations for the 2022-23 season. With the level of talent on the Pistons’ roster, a lot of players will battle for minutes, so there will be plenty of exciting clashes to witness. Truth be told, with some new faces […]
