Brace yourself for what stands to become one of the most significant off-season weeks in Pistons history.
If that sounds hyperbolic, consider that it will start with Wednesday’s draft when the Pistons exercise the No. 7 pick – only the eighth time in the last 50 years they’ve had a pick that high or better. The last time the Pistons picked as high as seventh was 10 years ago when they took Greg Monroe at No. 7.
Less than 48 hours after the Pistons make that pick, free agency will open at 6 p.m. on Friday with the Pistons armed with $30 million in cap space – more than all but two other NBA teams.
