The Detroit Pistons signed only one player (Glenn Robinson III) this offseason that is a sure bet to be in the team’s primary rotation. Still, a team stuck in neutral for the past several years had what was probably its most consequential offseason in years. Not only because of who is on the court, not just because Dwane Casey has replaced Stan Van Gundy on the sidelines, but because of a complete organizational shift and a lot of quality front office hires.
The Pistons have poached top executives and coaches from Philadelphia (Sachin Gupta), Golden State (Sammy Gelfand), and Atlanta (Malik Rose).
