As great as it was to see Pistons center Andre Drummond use his 6-foot-10, 270 pound frame to knock singer Chris Brown on his ass during a little late night pick-up hoops in a Los Angeles gym, the whole thing turned out to be a set-up, staged for our entertainment.

Maurice Cheeks could be Brandon Knight’s lucky break
It has been roughly about a month and a half since the Detroit Pistons parted ways with Lawrence Frank. In his two year stay with the Pistons, Frank led the team to a disappointing 54-94 record.
