DeRozan to Nuggets, Pistons Avoid Mistake | Detroit Pistons News

Demar DeRozan’s surprise move to the Denver Nuggets—over Detroit’s rumored interest—shows how smart moves can avoid bad fits. At 37, his mid-range game and lack of three-point shooting don’t align with Detroit’s modern build or defensive needs. While he’s a scoring machine with 12 straight 20-point seasons, his declining defense and role-player limitations make him a risky fit. The Pistons, wisely, kept their focus on internal growth and players like John Collins and Isaiah Joe who better support their long-term vision. Letting DeRozan go to a desperate team was the right call—Detroit’s patience is its greatest asset. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
