The Detroit Pistons do not have a rich history in free agency but it’s interesting to look back and see how some of their current players might stack up.
Part of the reason for this is that Detroit has never been hot free-agent destination. Even though Detroit is a cool city that is rich in culture, it is bitter cold and not on one of the coasts, so free agents have never lined up to play in the Motor City.
The Pistons have always built their teams through the draft and savvy trades, such as when they selected Tayshaun Prince with the 23rd pick or made one of the best trades of all-time for Rasheed Wallace.
