Rebuilding this team started with Stan Van Gundy in 2014 and is still underway, with the Pistons seeing a considerable amount of talent turnover this off-season despite being pressed for cap space.
They’ve managed to bring in Zaza Pachulia, Jose Calderon, Glenn Robinson III, and their two second-round draft picks, Bruce Brown and Khyri Thomas.
Those player acquisitions go right alongside with the dramatic shakeup in the front office.
The most obvious change was the firing of Van Gundy, and the hiring of 2018 Coach of the Year Dwane Casey. However, they also added Ed Stefanski and Gregg Polinski to their office ranks, and five fresh faces to their coaching staff.
