Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy got a nice welcome to the team’s new flagship radio station, sitting in studio for a couple segments on WXYT’s “Mike Valenti Show” on Wednesday afternoon.
In a meaty and non-contentious first appearance for about 24 minutes in a question-and-answer session with Valenti, Van Gundy addressed several pressing issues from the Pistons’ offseason, including the team’s move to downtown Detroit, Andre Drummond’s improvement, their salary-cap situation and the idea of tanking to get better draft picks.
Valenti asked about the Pistons’ roster situation in relation to the salary cap, where they’ll likely look to keep free agent Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, even if it means matching a max offer sheet and nearing the luxury tax.
