By this time next year, the Detroit Pistons will be in position to add the final pieces to a roster that can compete for a championship.
The Pistons are already predicted to be a top-four team in the Eastern Conference next season, though no one really considers them a threat for a championship. The Pacers showed this season that anything can happen if a team gets hot at the right time, so I wouldn’t rule the Pistons out of competing for the East, but it’s hard to see them being a legit title contender next season.
