Pistons mailbag: Trading down in draft, mining for gems in free agency

Now that the season is officially over, teams can start looking ahead to the NBA draft and free agency and getting ready for the next season, which begins — well, we don’t know that yet. With the Finals over, the league can focus more on the details for the draft, which has been a huge mystery throughout the summer.

The Pistons have particular interest because they have the seventh pick in the Nov. 18 draft and for the first time in eons, have some available cap space to try to improve their roster.

After a 20-46 season, they have plenty of work to do and plenty of spots to fill in the roster, with more than half of the roster as potential free agents.
