Some news: I’ve accepted an amazing new role as Senior Sports Editor at @AJCsports. It’s bittersweet, leaving after 23 years at The Detroit News, my first and only newspaper home, and Michigan, the only state where I’ve ever lived. It's an immense blessing and I'm excited for new opportunities.

#Pistons are 37-29, and with 16 games remaining, they have one of the tougher sets of opponents in those games, including 2 vs. the #Thunder and the #Bucks.

Beard: From No. 5 pick to possible No. 5 seed, #Pistons turnaround unexpected, making it all the more fun to watch: www.detroitnews.com/story/sports...

The #Pistons are firmly in the No. 6 spot in the East, by 3.5 games. They are 1.5 games from the No. 4 position. With 24 games left, they have a shot of HOSTING playoff series. There were no typographical or factual errors made in the production of this post.

The #Pistons currently have a 0% chance at getting the No. 1 pick (and the pick position is 19th, anyway). Their only pick in the draft would be No. 35 (from TOR). Soak it in, folks ... this year is different.

#Pistons (29-26) have the 18th-ranked (of 30) strength of schedule in their remaining 27 games. If they go 14-13 the rest of the way, they'd finish 43-39 and possibly be in the playoffs.

Beard: NBA All-Star Weekend format falls flat for a 1-star review: www.detroitnews.com/story/sports...

This ain't it, NBA ... * If the teams play to a total, make it 100 * If it has to be a tournament: Three teams, three-game round-robin format. Let point differential be the tiebreaker * Eliminate the commercials and ad-lib standups * Less talk ... more basketball.

#Pistons add veteran point guard Dennis Schroder ahead of trade deadline: www.detroitnews.com/story/sports...

Happy NBA Trade Deadline Day, for those who celebrate. Something to keep an eye on today with #Pistons: They've added three players (Martin, Richardson, Waters) and three second-round picks ... still some work to do and may be rerouting some or all of those additions today.

My understanding of the cap gymnastics that have to be done is that if the #Pistons use their $14M in cap space first, then the KJ Martin move can be done with the room MLE ... so I'd expect something else is coming before the trade deadline.

Wojo: Cade Cunningham’s blossoming gives #Pistons legitimate playoff potential: www.detroitnews.com/story/sports...

Revisiting the discussion on #Pistons' remaining strength of schedule: * Of the teams hovering around the playoff/Play-In in the East, the #Bulls, #Heat and #Hawks have more difficult RSOS. * DET will need to win the easier games and get a few more of the difficult ones too.

Something for #Pistons fans to keep an eye on -- the strength of schedule gets a bit lighter in the second half of the season. It was loaded with tough games early in the season, so getting a playoff spot is within reach.
