• Former Detroit Pistons hostess Erin Nicole: rumors June 18, 2013
  You haven’t heard of former Detroit Pistons in-arena hostess Erin Nicole yet, but I guarantee you won’t forget the name after seeing this post today. The singer, actress, spokesmodel continues the tradition of hot girls named Erin (Andrews, Sharoni, Hawksworth etc.) in sports media, and models becoming “journalists.” Erin Nicole today works as a traffic and entertainment reporter for WXYZ Channel 7 in Detroit, an ABC affiliate. I’m sure you’ll enjoy her “Naughty Schoolgirl” picture after the jump. I sure did. Erin Nicole is engaged, as her Twitter background, and @replies to other Twitter users indicates. But pregnant? Those rumors are not confirmed right now. Just rumors. Excerpt of Erin Nicole bio from WXYZ: Erin Nicole grew up in Birmingham and began to study performing arts at the age of 7.

  Joe Dumars needs another big trade— and a much better one than when he dealt for Allen Iverson in 2008—to turn the Pistons around this offseason. (mrzh, Flicker) In the last several months, Detroit Pistons’ fans have been treated to a smorgasbord of heartbreaking basketball trade what if’s courtesy of the national media. Just some of the names that were rumored to be heading to Detroit at some point over the past eight years? Kobe Bryant, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo, among others. All the deals were reportedly close to being done, and any would have helped spark a turnaround as well as provide the Pistons with the headline grabbing, star power filled deal they needed to change course. For one reason or another, none of the moves happened, and now they only come to represent tantalizing near misses.

• The Detroit Pistons can finally shift their attention June 16, 2013
  AUBURN HILLS- Joe Dumars claimed to have selected the consensus top coach available this off-season when he and Tom Gores came to agreement to hire new head coach; Maurice Cheeks. “I think you try to hire the best person for your particular team or particular situation. It doesn’t become a popularity contest. It becomes who can best connect with your team and your players.” Since Maurice Cheeks emerged as the front runner for the coaching position, there has been mixed feelings buzzing in Motown. Considering Cheeks’ pedestrian 284-286 record, was he the right guy?  We won’t know that until the conclusion of the upcoming season but as for now, all we can do is wait and watch. Now that the coaching search is over, the front office can turn their attention to the next important off-season task; the NBA draft. The Detroit Pistons seem to have found a nucleus that should blend well together if they are properly coached. Andre Drummond and Greg Monroe are on the rise to stardom and could be the best big
