Detroit Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars wants to be busy this offseason.
The Pistons are not expected to be major players in the free agency period that began Thursay. Dumars’ best shot at making a splash this summer seems to be tied to trading Tayshaun Prince and Richard Hamilton.
The Pistons are about $10 million under the salary cap, including the midlevel exception that should help them sign a solid veteran. Detroit didn’t make the playoffs last season for the first time since 2001 and had its second-lowest victory total in three decades.
Dumars was determined to add size in last week’s draft and he did, taking Georgetown’s Greg Monroe at No. 7 overall. The Hall of Fame player knows he still has work to do.
