Blake Griffin’s season is over, an Andre Drummond trade seems imminent, Dwane Casey is talking about a process, Reggie Jackson is still hurt.
This is what the end looks like.
The Detroit Pistons’ season is lost, and its latest attempt at building a contender has failed. That doesn’t mean, however, that it was all for naught. Most attempts at building a champion fail, often spectacularly.
Things were much different, or at least they felt much different, a few months ago. The hope coming into this season was based on the way the Pistons played after the All-Star break last season.
