Pistons owner discusses on his plan to meet with coach next week.
Detroit — By record and by standard NBA reasoning, Stan Van Gundy probably should be gone. The Pistons have veered direction multiple times in his four seasons, missed the playoffs three times and now tote a flawed roster with a top-heavy, inflexible payroll.
The problem is, owner Tom Gores added to the conundrum when he authorized the trade for Blake Griffin, a worthwhile gamble that came with consequences. Now the team is boxed in, committed to
Griffin, Andre Drummond and Reggie Jackson, with little room for change.
