The Pistons wanted Ebuka Okorie enough to trade up four spots to select him Tuesday. Trajan Langdon describes Okorie as “a winner” and sees him becoming “a weapon that can get paint touches at will” with Detroit: www.nytimes.com/athletic/738...

Here’s more from Trajan Langdon about the Pistons’ approach to the offseason. On Detroit’s draft priorities and plan to improve with free agency around the corner: www.nytimes.com/athletic/737...

With the draft less than two weeks away, here are five prospects the Pistons could target at No. 21: www.nytimes.com/athletic/734...

The Pistons hosted Stanford guard Ebuka Okorie for a pre-draft workout earlier today.

How much could Jalen Duren earn in restricted free agency? Who are potential trade targets? Will Detroit operate over the cap? I break down those questions and others in my first Pistons mailbag of the offseason: www.nytimes.com/athletic/732...

It’s offseason mailbag time. Tap in with Pistons questions here or at the link below: www.nytimes.com/athletic/730...

Ausar Thompson when I asked if he thought he was one of the best defenders in the league: “One thousand percent. I think I’m the best.” Now he’s the first Piston to make All-Defensive First Team since Ben Wallace in 2006. www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...

More from Trajan Langdon’s availability earlier. On the plan for Ausar Thompson and Jalen Duren, the Pistons’ offseason outlook and other key points entering a pivotal summer: “We’re not going to rest on our laurels.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/729...

The Pistons’ season of strides ends with quite the Game 7 stumble. More on how Detroit got here and what to expect in the offseason: www.nytimes.com/athletic/724...

Paul Reed and Jalen Duren have been close since last season. But this playoff run has strengthened the bond they share. On their connection and how it helped push the Pistons to another Game 7: “I don’t think anybody in here is as happy for JD as I am.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/728...

The Pistons’ lack of offensive firepower was obvious during their Game 5 collapse. Cade Cunningham leads the playoffs in total points, assists and minutes, but Detroit is once again on the brink of elimination. Someone else has to step up: www.nytimes.com/athletic/727...

Caught up with Gmac Cash about his Pistons anthem, why he feels it’s a responsibility to represent Detroit in a positive light and more: “I’ll never take it for granted, man.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/723...

On the Pistons unraveling in Game 4 and their need to be better in third quarters this series: “They came out and played with more force and tenacity than we did. … We just didn’t match it.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/727...

Cade Cunningham is a bonafide superstar, but he’s had a glaring weakness in these playoffs: turnovers. He’s tied Latrell Sprewell’s record for the most TO through 10 playoff games in NBA history. www.nytimes.com/athletic/726...

Tobias Harris wanted to compete for a championship when he returned to Detroit. His leadership on and off the court has molded the Pistons into a serious contender: “I know I have peace within with what I’m doing. … That allows me to just go have fun.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/726...

Jalen Duren is the X-factor the Pistons need to reach the ECF. He’s owning that responsibility: “I’m real with myself. I don’t like to be delusional. … In the first round, there were games where I was like, ‘Come on, bro. You’re better than this.’” www.nytimes.com/athletic/725...

Initial takeaways on the Pistons’ Game 1 win over the Cavs. With @joevardon.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/725...

What makes J.B. Bickerstaff most effective as the Pistons’ leader is his understanding of people. “He’s super supportive of all of us outside of basketball. Everybody feels like they can call him.” An exclusive on his role in Detroit’s turnaround: www.nytimes.com/athletic/722...

Here’s more on J.B. Bickerstaff’s extension and how he won over the Pistons’ locker room. Tobias Harris to @theathletic.com on Bickerstaff: “(He’s been) able to feed off the guys and make everyone feel important in this environment.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/725...

Peaking at the perfect time has been the Pistons’ goal since the start of the season. Detroit is right on schedule after its 3-1 comeback: “To do what we did this series only made us better for the next one. … It was great for our guys.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/725...

The Pistons’ second-round matchup with the Cavaliers is set. I’m taking Detroit in 7. Here’s why: www.nytimes.com/athletic/724...

Desperation breeds brilliance from these Pistons. When most teams would wither, they thrive. On Detroit’s comeback and unbreakable will: “You’ve got two options: you fight or you run. The nature of this group is they fight.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/724...

Always appreciate you!

When the Pistons needed Cade Cunningham most, he delivered a historic performance. And validated Detroit’s belief in him: “For some people, they have fear creep in and that extinguishes their fire to go. … I feel like I’m the hunter, not the hunted.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/724...

On the brink of elimination, the Pistons’ 60-win season is on the line tomorrow: “In these situations, you see who’s made of what. Our back is against the wall and it ain’t no quit. “We’ve got to fight like hell.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/723...

Jalen Duren hasn’t looked like the regular-season version of himself to start the playoffs. But the Pistons “have no doubt” he’ll bounce back and “plant his foot into this series.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/722...

The Pistons’ 30-3 run in Game 2 doesn’t happen without Ausar Thompson. I wrote on his versatility and how valuable it is to Detroit: “Whether he’s on or off the ball (defensively) … He does a tremendous job of leading our defense.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/722...

Inside the Pistons’ halftime accountability session before Bickerstaff entered the locker room. Four voices led the discussion, but everyone chimed in. It fueled the 30-3 run in the third: “That’s the beauty of the team: Nobody is scared to speak up.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/722...

Cade Cunningham met the moment for the Pistons in Game 1 with a playoff career high. His teammates need to step up Wednesday night if Detroit plans to even the series: “We feel we are the better team. They got away with Game 1, and now we bounce back.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/721...

Some pregame reading on Cade Cunningham, Jarrett Jack and how their bond helped spark the Pistons’ remarkable turnaround: www.nytimes.com/athletic/719...

I’m taking the Pistons over the Magic in five. Here’s why: www.nytimes.com/athletic/720...

After the Pistons’ 14-win season, Cade Cunningham had FOMO watching the playoffs. He texted someone he knew would understand. I spoke with them both for an exclusive on how that text sparked Detroit’s two-year turnaround: www.nytimes.com/athletic/719...

After notching 60 wins and cementing themselves as the best team in the East, the Pistons are focused on postseason success: “Playoffs are on the mind. It’s been a great regular season. Now it’s time for the real fun.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/719...

I’ll be doing majority of my posting about the Pistons’ regular-season finale today on our @theathletic.com live blog. Tap in here: www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...

After outclassing the Hornets in the fourth, the Pistons have their sights set on 60 wins. They’d be the third team in franchise history to reach those heights, and “it would mean the world.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/718...

Cade Cunningham and Isaiah Stewart fit right back into the Pistons’ lineup in last night’s win. They both looked well rested, and Cunningham spoke about his time away. Here’s more on their return and what to expect moving forward: www.nytimes.com/athletic/718...

Cade's back just in time for the playoffs...

With Cade Cunningham and Isaiah Stewart back tonight, here’s more on what their return means for the Pistons’ playoff outlook: www.nytimes.com/athletic/717...

The Pistons have been No. 1 in the East since Nov. 7, and last night clinched the first seed for the first time since 2007. Doing it without Cade Cunningham and Isaiah Stewart further underscores how impressive their two-year turnaround has been: www.nytimes.com/athletic/717...

The Pistons have a real shot at notching 60 wins for only the third time in franchise history. Read more from @hunterpatterson.bsky.social:

The Pistons’ confidence and cohesion continue to grow as they approach the playoffs. They just keep finding ways to win despite injuries, building belief they’ll “hit the ground running” once everyone is healthy: www.nytimes.com/athletic/716...

Cade Cunningham’s re-evaluation date will make him ineligible for end-of-season awards. Here’s more: www.nytimes.com/athletic/716...

Down four starters, it took OT and a 47-point performance from SGA to put the Pistons away. It was one of their gutsiest performances yet. “We go out there and fight every night; that’s our identity.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/716...

J.B. Bickerstaff has emphasized all season how important it is for the Pistons to peak at the perfect time. They’re doing exactly that. Detroit plans to “stick to the script” as the postseason approaches, with a shot at 60 wins: www.nytimes.com/athletic/715...

Daniss Jenkins’ confidence never wavers. His teammates first took notice during an offseason camp in San Diego last summer. More on how that confidence fueled Jenkins from a two-way contract to a career night: www.nytimes.com/athletic/714...

With Cade Cunningham out at least two weeks and Isaiah Stewart nursing a left calf strain, the Pistons’ bench becomes even more valuable. Here’s why J.B. Bickerstaff believes Detroit’s depth can be a “weapon” moving forward: www.nytimes.com/athletic/712...
