Ellis: New-look Pistons beginning to look like SVG's Magic

When Stan Van Gundy was hired to resurrect a once-proud franchise, mass change was expected.

It didn't come immediately — he filled in roster spots in his first off-season.

But the Pistons president/coach and his front office broke the ice with a trade a couple of weeks before the start of the 2014-15 season.

The moves have kept coming. With training camp gearing up Tuesday, the roster has undergone a complete transformation.

Only three players remain — center Andre Drummond, point guard Brandon Jennings and shooting guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope — from when Van Gundy was hired in May 2014.
