The Detroit Pistons are looking forward to a pivotal offseason after exceeding expectations in the recently concluded season. Finishing as the 6-seed, the team reached the playoffs but faced a tough exit against the No. 3 seeded New York Knicks. This offseason marks a crucial time for the Pistons as they aim to build on their progress towards the 2025-26 season.

Key upcoming dates include the NBA Draft Combine from May 11-18, where prospects will showcase their talents, and the NBA Draft Lottery on May 12, from which the Pistons will not participate due to their playoff success. The main event will be the NBA Draft scheduled for June 25-26. Although the Pistons do not have a first-round pick, they hold the No. 37 overall pick in the second round, gained from a previous trade.

Free agency begins on June 30, allowing the Pistons to negotiate with free agents. Following that is the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas from July 12-22, where the Pistons hope to build on their past performances, particularly with standout player Ron Holland, who averaged impressive points in the previous summer league.
