When the Knicks saw the Cavs move on in the NBA playoffs instead of the Pistons the team knew its odds of reaching the NBA Finals improved.

The Detroit Pistons may not pay their star center what he wants this summer, and the Los Angeles Lakers could be quietly positioned to take full advantage.

Who are some of the likely trade candidates on the Detroit Pistons' radar?

Pistons head coach J.B. Bickerstaff is not on the hot seat despite the team’s disappointing playoff elimination.

If the Miami Heat fail to land Giannis Antetokounmpo, Tyler Herro could become a trade candidate — and the Detroit Pistons may be the perfect fit for the All-Star guard.

A Los Angeles Lakers writer believes the Los Angeles Lakers could land a Detroit Pistons big man who didn't play his best basketball in the postseason.

"To go from 14 to 44 to 60 wins to first place in the East in three seasons; it was an amazing accomplishment," Pistons president Trajan Langdon said.

The Detroit Pistons didn’t have the finish to the season they were looking for. After taking a 3-2 lead over the Cavaliers, they were eliminated by the Cavs in the second round. That includes a Game 7 at home in which they were not competitive.

Detroit may not be able to avoid the red flags to get what they need.
