The Pistons have a very busy offseason ahead of them. Let’s look at two burning questions facing the team.

1. 
What players will the team look to target in the draft coming up soon?

Most of the names floating around Pistons camp are either power forwards or point guards, with Rodney Stuckey looking more and more like his best role would be a Ben Gordon, quick scoring sixth man type, and not the PG of the future, and the Rasheed Wallace Experience being over (more on that later).

DeJuan Blair is a favorite of the Freep, but as they noted, the Pistons already have a undersized, thick power forward, and his name is Jason Maxiell. The guy I like here, even though it goes against every fiber of my being, and most likely many in the organization, is B.J. Mullens.

Yes, I know he went to Ohio State, but I got to see him play a few games during the Big Ten season, and when he’s right, he can be dominant.

He is a legitimate 7 footer, long, very athletic and if he is put on the right team where he can have some time to develop, he can be a real force down the line (and on top of that, you cannot pass on a guy who’s savvy (but most likely cruel) enough to cheat in a Blazin’ wing contest).

And yes, I did use parentheses within parentheses. I am the apex of cool.

Anyways, back to reality.

Other big man targets could be James Johnson of Wake Forest, Earl Clark of Louisville, Austin Daye of Gonzaga, or even Tyler Hansbrough of UNC.

If the team decides to go PG, at least a few of these guys should be available, and all would be good fits for the team: Ty Lawson of UNC, Jonny Flynn of Syracuse, Eric Maynor of VCU, and Jeff Teague of Wake Forest.

Out of the guards, Jeff Teague seems to have a lot of potential and Ty Lawson is the best all-around guy and most developed at the moment. But knowing the Pistons, they will find some “diamond in the rough” out of Colorado or North Dakota that no one knows.

2.
What could be some possible moves the team makes in free agency?

Things are a bit different at the start of this offseason, as the team finally hit that point during the season where the core guys from the 2003 title team got old and the organization had to start heading in another direction.

This started with Chauncey Billups being sent to Denver in exchange for Allen Iverson, which many thought, including me
