The Detroit Pistons will get a new head coach this offseason.
Per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Dwayne Casey will transition to a front-office role. The Pistons ended his fifth season with an NBA-worst 17-65 record following Sunday’s 103-81 loss to the Chicago Bulls.
Fans looked ahead to Detroit’s future in what could also be a beneficial transition for Casey.
“Good move for everyone involved,” a fan claimed.

“Big off-season for Detroit coming up,” Brice Lewis of FOX 56 declared. “Potentially could get Victor [Wembanyama]. If you nail the right coach and add some veteran talent with the young core already there, Pistons could be dangerous next season.”

Casey joined the Pistons after winning Coach of the Year in his seventh and final season with the Toronto Raptors. After going 41-41 in his first year, the Pistons have remained at the bottom of the standings during a lengthy rebuild.
They’ve totaled 90 wins over the last four seasons, resulting in three straight top-10 draft picks. Another top selection, potentially Wembanyama if they win their second lottery in three years, will join Cade Cunningham, Killian Hayes, and Jaden Ivey in Detroit next season.
