Pistons' Langdon emphasizes continuity, explores roster moves after playoff surge

Detroit Pistons president of basketball operations Trajan Langdon expressed satisfaction with the team's unexpected 44-win season and first playoff appearance in five years, emphasizing that patience and internal development will guide the team's offseason strategy. Langdon highlighted the value of continuity, drawing from his experience with the San Antonio Spurs, and indicated that the front office will prioritize developing young core players like Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren, who are eligible for contract extensions. While Langdon remains open to exploring trades or acquiring an All-Star, he stressed that any moves must align with both short-term improvement and long-term sustainability. The offseason will also involve evaluating free agent decisions and maintaining a balanced approach between immediate gains and building a lasting foundation. The organization appears committed to steady growth rather than making impulsive changes despite outside speculation about major trades. Ultimately, Langdon's approach suggests the Pistons will focus on leveraging their young talent and team chemistry to sustain their recent progress.
