The Detroit Pistons were aggressive this summer in reshaping their support system to continue building on a breakout season. That aggression led to a bad trade that only looks worse as a former Piston balls out overseas.
Last year was a fantastic one for the Pistons and their fans. New head coach J.B. Bickerstaff brought the roster together and they bought in on a tough, defensive-minded approach. Cade Cunningham realized his potential and put together an All-NBA season. Free agent additions Tobias Harris and Malik Beasley had excellent seasons and Detroit tripled their win total from the previous season and made the playoffs.
