Pistons stay the course for draft as trade winds swirl

Auburn Hills — It’s draft week and the Pistons are still going through the paces to figure out what to do with the No. 12 pick in the first round.

There’s been some buzz that they could be interesting in dealing the pick, but at least for now Pistons president-coach Stan Van Gundy and general manager Jeff Bower are going about the process assuming that they will hold on to the selection.

Reports after the season suggested that the Pistons were interesting in dealing the pick for a “win-now” veteran, but Van Gundy indicated that’s a little easier said than done — but not out of the realm of possibility.
