(Credit: Bleacher Report)
Every season there are several teams clearly not trying to win. That is not to say that they are throwing games, but they clearly aren’t trying to put together a winning team. Last season we saw this with the Bucks and 76ers, and this season will certainly have several teams built to lose. Here are five possibilities:

Meeks, Butler, Augustin fit into Van Gundy's mold for Pistons' roster
AUBURN HILLS -- Before the NBA draft, Stan Van Gundy laid out the first steps of his plan for rebuilding the Pistons.
As of Tuesday, most of that mission has been accomplished. One day after introducing Jodie Meeks to the local media, Detroit brought in Caron Butler and D.J. Augustin. All three are players that fit nicely into the mold Van Gundy plans to use for the new roster.

The Pistons Get Their Men
Stan Van Gundy and the Detroit Pistons made quick, intentional moves to start free agency season.
The first few days of the 2014 free-agency market have moved along very slowly indeed. With the league’s most supremely elite talents yet unsigned, many teams are holding back from signing any players, so as not to disrupt their carefully calibrated cap plans.

Detroit Pistons: Analyzing the Spencer Dinwiddie pick
The Detroit Pistons drafted Colorado guard Spencer Dinwiddie with the 38th pick of the 2014 NBA Draft. If the name doesn’t sound familiar, that’s because Dinwiddie has been sidelined since January and wasn’t able to bolster his draft stock much.

Detroit Pistons mock draft: Predicting the 38th pick
Nik Stauskas
The Detroit Pistons have to wait 37 picks until their turn comes in this Thursday’s NBA Draft. The Pistons’ No. 38 pick will not be nearly as exciting as their No. 8 overall pick would have been, had they not lost it. The dream of getting an elite shooter like Nik Stauskas or Doug McDermott, or extra frontcourt depth with the likes Julius Randle, Noah Vonleh or...
