NBA team season
NBA professional basketball team season
The
2000β01 NBA season was the Pistons'
60th season as a franchise, the 53rd in the
National Basketball Association , and the 44th in the
Detroit area.
[1] During the off-season, retired All-Star guard and Pistons legend
Joe Dumars was hired as General Manager,
[2]
[3]
[4] as the team acquired
Ben Wallace and second-year guard
Chucky Atkins from the
Orlando Magic ,
[5]
[6]
[7] acquired
Cedric Ceballos ,
Dana Barros and
John Wallace from the
Dallas Mavericks ,
[8]
[9] and acquired
Billy Owens from the
Milwaukee Bucks .
[10] The team later on signed free agent
Joe Smith during the first month of the regular season.
[11]
[12] However, Ceballos was traded to the
Miami Heat in late November after 13 games,
[13] as the Pistons acquired
Corliss Williamson in exchange for
Jerome Williams and
Eric Montross in a midseason trade with the
Toronto Raptors .
[14]
[15]
However, the Pistons struggled losing four of their first five games, then after a 13β15 start, they lost 13 of their next 15 games, finishing fifth in the Central Division with a 32β50 record.
[16] One key piece to the team's future appeared to be
Jerry Stackhouse , who had a stellar season averaging 29.8 points and 5.1 assists per game, while being selected for the
2001 NBA All-Star Game .
[17]
[18]
[19] In addition, Smith averaged 12.3 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, while Atkins contributed 12.0 points and 4.1 assists per game, and Wallace led the team with 13.2 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game.
[20]
Following the season, Smith re-signed with his former team, the
Minnesota Timberwolves ,
[21]
[22] while head coach
George Irvine was fired, top draft pick
Mateen Cleaves was traded to the
Sacramento Kings ,
[23] John Wallace was dealt along with
Jud Buechler to the
Phoenix Suns , and Owens retired.
