Last week’s coverage largely focused a year in transition for the Detroit Pistons, stemming from Andre Drummond’s remarks about how he’s looking forward to free agency. He later backtracked his comments to say he’s looking forward to the process of free agency.
The Detroit Pistons will likely lose their star player after season’s end, though he does have a player option worth $28.8 million for 2020-21. Drummond was correct when he said he’s one of the top player’s on the free agent market, especially in the frontcourt.
That leaves a belief that the Pistons enter a transitional year, seemingly improved following a 41-41 season and the eighth playoff seed.
