Pistons likely to fill empty roster spot with third point guard
The Detroit Pistons know it's going to be tough to replace everything that Brandon Jennings brings to the table.

Regner: Gores deserves credit, too, for Pistons' turnaround
When Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores first arrived on the scene, we were told he was one of us -- even though he actually didn't look or act like one of us.

Stan Van Gundy isn’t building a Magic 2.0 team
The Detroit Pistons are 11-3 since waiving Josh Smith on December 22.
We all knew Smith wasn’t a good fit in Mo-town, but seriously?
Personally, I like to say I told you so to anyone and everyone who thought it was a good idea for the Pistons to sign Smith in the first place.
He’s a career 27 percent shooter from behind the arc. He shot 26 percent last year and took 265 triples...
