Why did Stan Van Gundy want full control over the Detroit Pistons front office? It's not about power, and it's not about job security. It's about building something more. Stan Van Gundy has a big, audacious goal. Making the playoffs? Sure, that’s the plan, but he’s set his sights higher. Winning a championship? Without a doubt, but that’s still not enough. No, Van Gundy’s goal is greater than a single...

Talks progressing between owner Tom Gores and former Pistons great. As is common when there is staff changeover, there has been a lot of discussion about a new path and a clean slate with the Detroit Pistons lately. It started when it became clear that longtime president of basketball operations Joe Dumars would not see his contract renewed and culminated with the hiring of Stan Van Gundy as both...

Stan Van Gundy repeatedly singled out the two youngest members of last year's jumbo-sized frontcourt, leading one to question whether last year's prized free agent will be this summer's trade bait. Stan Van Gundy heaped praise on Andre Drummond every chance he got during his introductory press conference, a clear indication that he views the young big man as the most critical building block for the...

After listening to Tom Gores and Stan Van Gundy talk for 45 minutes -- and transcribing nearly 7,000 words of their responses -- I figured I'd have some fun with their answers by isolating each man's responses into a word cloud to see if anything interesting emerged. Did any hidden messages appear? In the words of a Magic 8-ball, "Reply hazy, not so good." But whatever, I found the experiment (at...

'I think Detroit is a unique challenge, a franchise that's been really down for five or six years, after being tremendously successful the previous six. The chance to coach a team and help them improve,' Jeff Van Gundy said. 'You know, the Eastern Conference is, obviously, just a little bit more wide open than the West.'...

If the Pistons waited for someone with a championship pedigree, they probably couldn't get him. They're in on the ground floor, at least as far as this role, with Van Gundy. The Pistons' system might help Van Gundy, who worked under Riley in Miami, implement his vision. But Van Gundy's skills will be far more important to his success than which titles he holds....

The Pistons' new coach and president had high praise for his "elite" big men Andre Drummond and Greg Monroe. If there is one thing that stood out while Pistons owner Tom Gores and new head coach and president of basketball operations Stan Van Gundy sat for their first press conference together, it's that they want to speak with one voice and leave the disarray of the last several years behind them....

The Detroit Pistons' big front office splash could have an impact on the Bobcats' future draft pick. Perhaps the man to be most missed by Bobcats fans will be Joe Dumars, the former Detroit Pistons president of basketball operations. Dumars had been especially kind to Charlotte recently, gift-wrapping a generous first-round pick with some seemingly adequate protections to the Bobcats. The trade was...
