The NBA Draft is over and the Detroit Pistons have turned their complete attention to the start of free agency on July 1. The Pistons have some cap space and could try to add a big name this offseason. Here are all the latest Pistons rumors and news and you need to know:
Pistons To Pursue Al Horford?
Add the Pistons to the growing list of teams that will pursue Al Horford this offseason.
Free Agency Rumble: Orlando, Detroit and the Lakers are all among the teams that intend to make a run at Atlanta big man Al Horford.

The Pistons choice to chase Horford is interesting. Marcus Morris and Andre Drummond (a restricted free agent) are set at PF and center. Someone would need to slide to the bench, unless the Pistons decided to let Drummond walk.
Pistons Trying To Trade Jodie Meeks?
Update: The Pistons are sending Meeks to the Magic.
Original write-up is below.
The Pistons weren't able to move Meeks during the draft, but they aren't done trying yet.
After the draft, Detroit will continue to shop guard Jodie Meeks to find him a new team, league sources tell @TheVertical.

Meeks is in the last year of his contract and set to make $6.5 million this year. Meeks hasn't lived up to that three-year contact he signed, in part because of injuries. However, it's clear the Pistons are having issues finding a taker.
