The Detroit Pistons are optimistic as they embark on a new chapter after two disappointing seasons. Following the dismissal of Monty Williams, they have appointed JB Bickerstaff as head coach, signaling a fresh start.

With a blend of young talent and veteran additions like Tobias Harris and Malik Beasley, the Pistons are focused on rebuilding. They are committed to Cade Cunningham as a core player, having extended his contract. The team is set to begin the regular season against the Indiana Pacers.

The Detroit Pistons are finalizing their roster ahead of the regular season by signing two players to two-way contracts. Alondes Williams, an undrafted player with brief NBA experience, and Cole Swider, who has played for the LA Lakers and Miami Heat, are the latest additions.

Swider, a 6-foot-9 forward, is seen as a promising prospect due to his shooting ability, having shot over 40% from three-point range in his final college years. Both players will likely spend time developing in the G League, as the Pistons already have a solid roster of guards and forwards.
