Hardwood Knocks

54 minutes

The Detroit Pistons followed up their disappointing 37-win campaign in 2016-17 with one hell of an offseason. - They hard-capped themselves on Day 1—Day 1!—of free agency. They traded the two years and $10.4 million remaining on Marcus Morris' contract for Avery Bradley's expiring deal. They then renounced the rights to restricted free agent Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, thus allowing him to join the Los Angeles Lakers. - Did they make the right decision? Should they pay Bradley long term? Will they get the expected leap from Stanley Johnson? Is Reggie Jackson healthy enough to lead an above-average offense? Is this the year Andre Drummond finally shows material improvement on both ends of the floor? - Duncan Smith (@DuncanSmithNBA) of PistonsPowered and Locked on Pistons stops by Hardwood Knocks' pressure-cooker to douse cold water on Dan's propensity for KCP and make sense of what comes next for Stan Van Gundy's rebuilding, but-not-really-rebuilding squad. And, finally, do they have enough juice to clinch a postseason return in 2018? - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.
