The Pistons made an important step forward in their summer to-do list by hiring Dwane Casey to be their next coach. They had gone more than a month without a head coach and after signing Casey, they will move to the next steps in their summer process.
Casey takes over a roster that he says is ready to win now, but there’s plenty more skill development and body maintenance that will need to be done over the summer months.
That includes filling out their front-office staff, preparing for the draft, free agency and summer league. Because of issues with the salary cap and potential to hit the luxury tax, the Pistons won’t be as busy as some other teams, but they have plenty to do before training camp begins in the fall.
