• The Detroit Pistons have fired head coach and president of basketball operations Stan Van Gundy.
• The Pistons face a hazy future, as they're without salary cap space for the next two years, have little young talent on the roster, and don't have a draft pick this year.
• The Pistons may be stuck in place as a low playoff seed or high lottery seed, the worst place to be in the NBA.

The Detroit Pistons fired head coach and president of basketball operations Stan Van Gundy on Monday, as first reported by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Van Gundy had one more year left on his contract, but the team decided not to pick up his final year.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
