Stan Van Gundy Pistons Agree On $35M Five Year Deal - RealGM Wiretap

The Detroit Pistons and Stan Van Gundy have reached agreement on a five-year, $35 million for him to become their head coach and president of basketball operations.

The deal was formally announced on Wednesday.

Van Gundy has been out of the NBA over the past two seasons after being fired by the Orlando Magic.

The Golden State Warriors were also very interested in Van Gundy, making him their top target, but they were unwilling to cede authority away from Bob Myers.

Sources say the opportunity for Van Gundy to have a Pat Riley-level say on basketball matters swayed him to choose the Pistons over the Warriors.

Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reported that Van Gundy may hire Otis Smith to serve as day-to-day general manager.

Damn....he was my pick for our coach...but oh well...

If only they had done this a year ago. Better late than never I guess.

I wonder if he provided any commentary/analysis on the Pistons this season that we can dig up... would be interesting to hear/see his thoughts

could provide an idea on the direction he will take the team

 

[UncleTony]

Like the move by the Pistons here...but do fans really think Stan is gonna be the savior of this franchise and bring them back into contention? Long road ahead for them but no doubt this is a step in the right direction

Greg Monroe gonna have to go.
