"Last season, the Detroit Pistons had the sixth greatest single season turnaround in NBA History. In 2023-24, they finished an NBA-worst 14-68; last year, they went 44-38. Pretty remarkable, huh? Last summer, then-first-year general manager Trajan Langdon did a remarkable job adding not only veterans, but legitimate floor spacers around star point guard Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duran and Ausar Thompson."
"Detroit was reportedly in talks with adding him back to a three-year, $42 million deal. But they quickly changed gears, adding guard Caris LeVert. But that obviously wasn't enough. The Pistons ultimately snagged sharpshooter Duncan Robinson away from the Miami Heat. Say what you want, Robinson's one of the best shooters in the sport, having made 39.7 percent of his 7.2 3-point attempts over his first seven seasons."
Detroit completed a major 2025 offseason that added Caris LeVert, Duncan Robinson, Javonte Green and Colby Jones while losing Malik Beasley, Tim Hardaway Jr., Dennis Schroder, Simone Fontecchio and Lindy Waters III. Paul Reed was re-signed and Chaz Lanier was selected at No. 37. The team improved dramatically from 14-68 to 44-38 the previous season after GM Trajan Langdon added veteran floor spacers around Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duran and Ausar Thompson. Malik Beasley's federal gambling probe shut down his market, prompting Detroit to pivot to LeVert and later sign sharpshooter Duncan Robinson. Roster still lacks consistent shooting and faces salary constraints to re-sign Beasley.
