Detroit Pistons: Dumars, Pistons have a huge summer ahead
Alright, I’m not sure why I keep going on these Detroit Pistons tangents in the midst of one of the best NBA playoffs in recent years, but I can’t stress enough how huge this summer is for the this organization.
With money at their disposal, a top 10 pick in the 2013 NBA draft and young talent that can be shopped around, the Pistons are in a great position to once again contend...
Pistons Haven't Identified Leading Candidate In Coaching Search
The Detroit Pistons do not have a leading candidate in their head coaching search, according to sources.
There is belief, however, that the Pistons will elevate the process at the NBA draft combine in Chicago.
Phil Jackson has agreed to help the organization in an advisory role and could have Brian Shaw at the top of his candidate list.
Drummond to work with The Dream
Detroit Pistons rookie Andre Drummond is the latest in the long line of big men to work with former Houston Rockets great Hakeem Olajuwon. Working with The Dream in the off season has become the new fad and has proved successful for some and not for others. For a young guy like Andre, who’s not even 20 yet, the tutoring could be monumental.
The Hall of Fame center, one of the...
Andre Drummond ready to go to work with ‘the Dream’ this summer
The Detroit Pistons are busy evaluating NBA Draft talent and trying to figure out who will be the coach next season, but appear to at least have the centerpiece of their team in 20-year-old center Andre Drummond. The organization was fortunate to see the center drop a year ago because teams feared he didn’t care enough to work hard in the NBA. Drummond, a raw rookie out of Connecticut...
Detroit Pistons: What should they do in the 2013 NBA draft?
Between Stephen Curry making it rain on every defender that crosses his path, Carmelo Anthony shooting 10 percent from the field (clearly a joke… kind of), and Nate Robinson putting on for little men everywhere, I’ve had the opportunity to breakaway from the highly entertaining 2013 NBA playoffs and look into the upcoming 2013 NBA Draft which will be held on June 27 at the Barclays...
Phil Jackson turns down Toronto, Joins Detroit as Consultant
A crushing blow for Raptor fans as Phil Jackson has decided not to join the Raptors as president. Instead the Zen master has become a consultant for the Detroit Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars.
In late April
“Sources told ESPN.com that the Raptors — now being run by former Los Angeles-based sports mogul Tim Leiweke — regarded the Seattle group that was...
Steve Smith doesn't see Phil Jackson's role with the Pistons as a natural fit
When Phil Jackson was hired as a consultant by the Detroit Pistons many figured that there was more to it than just being an unpaid consultant.
Some think it might be a ploy to undercut current Pistons president Joe Dumars and take over the front office role himself. The question I have is, why is Jackson helping the Pistons?
NBA TV analyst Steve Smith has the same thought...
Phil Jackson helping out the Pistons
It seems like any coaching vacancy that opens up these days is followed with the immediate thought that “hey, Phil Jackson might want to coach there.” The answer is always no, and Jackson has shown no signs of wanting to return to the bench, whether it be for a contender or the challenge of a young, undisciplined project. Jackson’s name has also been thrown around as a candidate...
Why does Joe Dumars still have a job with the Detroit Pistons?
The Detroit Pistons have become irrelevant. That is the worse crime that a sports team can make. The entire Detroit sports fan base doesn’t seem to care about that team anymore. We see that in the empty seats at the Palace every time the Pistons play a home game, and I can prove it by [...]
Could Phil Jackson’s Advisory of Detroit Pistons Lead to a Front Office Future in Auburn Hills?
Phil Jackson has drawn up plenty of plays in the past, but could there be a power play being drawn up for Jackson to eventually join the Detroit Pistons’ front office? (pascal, Flickr)
A few weeks ago, I called for a professional relationship between the Detroit Pistons and Phil Jackson based on the mutual connection shared between Jackson and team owner Tom Gores.
I ended up getting...
ZEN ADVISER
Jackson to serve as Pistons consultant
The Detroit Pistons have hired Phil Jackson in an advisory role with the organization and he will assist the team in finding its next head coach.
Phil Jackson to consult Pistons
Phil Jackson is joining the Detroit Pistons.
No, he's not going to be the new head coach, but the Zen Master will be involved in the search for the next person to fill that role.
Jackson, a friend of Pistons owner Tom Gores, has agreed to advise Gores and team president Joe Dumars as they look for a replacement for Lawrence Frank, who was fired last month.
Phil Jackson is...

Detroit Pistons: Proceed With Caution In Free Agency
Fans of the Detroit Pistons know all too well how badly free agency can effect a team, when they spend lots of money on the wrong players. In 2009, Joe Dumars and the Pistons had the most money of any NBA team to spend, but it was a poor free agent class and they ended up spending over 80 million dollars on Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva. They finally got rid of the former, but...
HEARD FOOTSTEPS?
Brandon Knight whiffs on uncontested layup
Poor Brandon Knight. When he’s not playing the role of punching bag in other players’ highlight reels, the equally cruel blooper reel is just waiting to swoop in. Thanks to two posters — one of the ankle-breaking variety, one of the Lob City variety — which have garnered countless millions of YouTube views, the Detroit Pistons guard was already having a nightmarish sophomore...

DeAndre Jordan throws down monster alley-oop
DeAndre Jordan throws down a potential dunk of the year, annihilating Pistons’ Brandon Knight as he finishes the alley-oop from Chris Paul.
