The 2026 Detroit Tigers have created a buzz following their signing of star pitcher Framber Valdez and future Hall of Famer Justin Verlander.

First, let's break down what the deal is and what it isn't. The Detroit Pistons send out a former lottery pick, Jaden Ivey, for a "shooter" (Kevin Huerter), a stretch four (Dario Saric), and a protected first-round pick swap.

The NBA trade deadline quickly approaches (Thursday, February 5 at 3 p.m. ET), and the rumors (mostly unsubstantiated clickbait) continue to fly about what the Detroit Pistons will do to ready the team for the postseason.

Many publications and radio hosts are making the case for why the Detroit Pistons should add Michael Porter Jr.

Coming into the 2025 season, the Detroit Lions expected to contend for a Super Bowl, but after a week 13 loss to the Green Bay Packers, they are hoping to make the playoffs. Early in the season, the media chastised anyone who expressed concerns about the team's problems, particularly its struggles in the trenches.

n Week 12, the hope is that the "clean it up" (as Dan Campbell would put it) part of the season is over for the Detroit Lions. Following a 34-27 win at home against the 2-win New York Giants, it is clear that the team continues trying to find its stride.

The Detroit Red Wings lead the Atlantic Division after a 4-2 victory over the Seattle Kraken, improving to 12-7-1, their best start since 2012. What's the biggest change this season? Yes, Todd McLellan's influence cannot be overlooked, but more importantly, he has a young core developing that he can shape rather than remold.

The Detroit Pistons' winning streak has reached 10 games in a row, the first since 2008, on their way to their best start since 2005-06 (12-2). Every offseason for the last decade has seen Pistons fans and media clamoring about three-point shooting.

The Detroit Lions lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 16-9 in Week 11. The consensus: "Uh-oh." The Eagles are a good team (Super Bowl champions) and have an elite defense. The problem keeps popping up over and over: Stop the Lions run game and force Jared Goff to win a game behind a shaky offensive line.

The Detroit Pistons won their seventh straight game last night, defeating the Washington Wizards in overtime, 137-135. The Pistons entered the game in Detroit with the Eastern Conference's best record, while the Wizards entered with the worst. So, a blowout or an easy context might have been expected.
