Stan Van Gundy and Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores will meet next week to decide the fate of the president of basketball operations and head coach in Van Gundy as well as the entire front office and coaching staff, many whose contracts expired at the end of the season.
Nobody is sure what Gores will do but the pivotal meeting promises to bring some much-needed clarity to the organization. Coming off of a disappointing 39-43 season that saw a lot of upheaval -- both with injury and roster changes, anything is possible. Van Gundy could keep both his front office and head coaching title on the premise that the core of the team — with Blake Griffin, Andre Drummond and Reggie Jackson — is solid and a full season together with good health would propel the team back into the playoffs.
