Elsewhere, within league circles, there was palpable chatter about the Pistons hoping to get involved in the Antetokounmpo trade to land Tyler Herro, while dangling assets such as Isaiah Stewart, Ron Holland, Duncan Robinson, and draft compensation, league sources told HoopsHype. In addition, the Los Angeles Lakers were linked with trade interest in Kel’el Ware over the past couple of days, sources said.
The Free Press has confirmed with multiple people within the league not permitted to speak publicly that the Pistons have been involved in discussions regarding Tyler Herro. And though it remains to be seen if the deal will get across the finish line, three of their key role players – Isaiah Stewart, Duncan Robinson and Ron Holland – are candidates to be moved in such a trade.
Hunter Patterson: Trajan says he believes Ron Holland losing his spot in the rotation will motivate him over the summer and thinks Ron will improve next season because of that frustration. Noted how helpful Ron was to the Pistons winning 60 games during the regular season.
Y’all kind of remind us of the ’90s, 2000s Pistons, man. Kind of our era. Big, physical, don’t take no shit. Does that mindset come from just that Detroit feel, or is that something y’all brought back on y’all own? Jalen Duren: Yeah, honestly, a lot of people would think we just try to copy the earlier teams Detroit had. But I think, to a man, that’s just how we feel. That’s just how we play. You know what I mean? Guys like Stew, me, Ausar, Ron Holland, that’s just who we are as characters. And it came together. And like I said, I’m going to go back to JB, man. His character and his mentality kind of fit, and it gelled with everything. So it was like a match made in heaven.
And yet, his best moments come with a supercharged energy, with Ron Holland defending, rebounding and flying down the court in transition. His 15 points and 11 rebounds Monday in a loss to San Antonio was one of Detroit’s few bright spots (“I thought he was awesome,” said Bickerstaff); he has the rebound rate of a power forward, the league’s sixth-highest steal rate and is still only 20 years old. “We believe he’s an elite transition attacker,” Bickerstaff said. “Even in the half court, when he gets his space and finds those gaps, he can get downhill, he makes his free throws [80 percent this season]… He’s always putting forth effort (and) energy on the defensive end.

Sam Perley: Detroit is listing Ron Holland II (personal reasons) as out for tomorrow’s game in Charlotte. Jalen Duren (right knee soreness) is probable.
Hunter Patterson: Cade Cunningham (left hip contusion, illness) has been upgraded to probable for tonight. Duncan Robinson (low back sprain) is now available. Caris LeVert (illness) is out. Ron Holland II (illness) remains probable.
The Pistons have downgraded Ron Holland (illness) to questionable for Monday’s game against Boston.

The Pistons have downgraded Caris LeVert (bilateral knee soreness) to questionable for Tuesday's game against Sacramento. Ron Holland (left knee sprain) is also questionable.
Omari Sankofa II: Ron Holland is out tonight with left knee soreness, JB said. Will be his first missed game due to injury. Not sure if it’s longterm. “He took a fall last game and the adrenaline was able to carry him through. We’re going to get an image done in Sacramento and see what’s next.”
Brown, who was locked into the game, didn’t immediately notice what happened. When he did, “I was a little bit embarrassed. And then I got mad at myself for being embarrassed at all.” “After a while, it was like, ‘Those dudes should be grateful.’” [A hair product on his head would also leave marks on Detroit Pistons player Ron Holland and Washington Wizards player Kyshawn George in the following days.] “They're lucky that I left my mark on them. I should get a thank you card: You have the residue of a champion on you. You're welcome.'"
