The detroit pistons are definitely primed for success. I really like the idea that coach Frank is approaching in the preseason by starting a different group every night. However, once Drummond becomes our starting center he should stay in the lineup. I really believe he has a lot of potential, maybe he wont drop jaws as a rookie but he definitely looks like he is headed in the right direction. Players really don't give it their all in the preseason but drummond is which is a good sign considering he had motor issues coming into the draft. I believe a lot of piston fans are over-hyping him but the sooner him and monroe are on the court together the better it is for the chemistry development.
As for this years expectations, I believe they should contend for the 8th final spot in the eastern conference. Unfortunately, the east became a lot deeper with teams like Washington adding okafor and ariza, milwakee gaining more experience with the newly added monte ellis, toronto finally bringing in valacaniunas and trading for kyle lowry.
As for the next off-season I think the pistons will have somewhat over 20mil in cap space to spend, some of the that money will go to greg monroe's extension. The remaining money can be used on a player like andre iguoudala and josh smith especially if none of the small forwards on our team can prove they can consistently play the 3 for 82 games. That being said, I think tayshaun will be traded at the trade deadline to relieve some cap space and a team that is in the contention spot would love to add someone like the veteran savy tayshaun prince.
