Although the offseason isn’t over yet for the Detroit Pistons, they’re already a better team than they were last season.
That should sound a little ridiculous, considering the Pistons were the first team in NBA history to triple their win total from the previous season. Their 44-38 record helped them make the playoffs for the first time since 2019, including their first playoff win in 17 years.
Detroit still has the full $5.1 million Bi-Annual Exception and a $14.3 million Traded Player Exception from the Dennis Schröder sign-and-trade to add to the roster, but their projected rotation for next season already looks better.
