New team, same luck.
Former Pistons point guard Brandon Knight found himself on the wrong end of a J.R. Smith stepback crossover during Saturday night’s Suns-Cavs game. The results weren’t pretty:

Former Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond was unceremoniously traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers this afternoon for a less than inspiring return of Brandon Knight, John Henson and a second-round pick. Almost immediately, Drummond took to Twitter to whine that he was never told about an upcoming deal, and that there are “no friends and loyalty”. … Read more
The Detroit Pistons re-acquired Brandon Knight as part of a deal that sent Andre Drummond to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Detroit Pistons and Cleveland Cavaliers swung a major deal this afternoon, trading Andre Drummond in exchange for Brandon Knight, John Henson and a second-round pick.

Believe it or not, any perceived (or actual) ineptitude within the modern day Detroit Pistons front office—pre-Van Gundy, that is—largely pales in comparison to what transpired on a regular basis before general manager Jack McCloskey‘s arrival in 1979. To be sure, there’s been plenty of missteps in recent memory (we reckon one in particular from … Read more

Former Pistons point guard Brandon Knight found himself on the wrong end of a J.R. Smith stepback crossover during Saturday night’s Suns-Cavs game. The results weren’t pretty:
While the Detroit Pistons made a surprise splash at yesterday’s NBA trade deadline, acquiring both Reggie Jackson and Tayshaun Prince, their moves were just a small piece of a massive league-wide overall Thursday afternoon. In all, 39 players switched teams, and we haven’t even begun to count up all the conditional draft picks. Here’s a … Read more
Ah yes, the perils of courtside seating at an NBA ballgame.

Hey Pistons fans, need a pick-me-up after watching Brandon Jennings slosh his way through a six game stretch where he posted a sterling 5 points per game on 20% shooting?
