Vincent Goodwill predicts Pistons will hire Maurice Cheeks

Vincent Goodwill of The Detroit News:

"If I had to guess, I think Maurice Cheeks will be the next #Pistons coach"

Take that for what it’s worth, and Goodwill is clearly saying where he’s coming from. He’s a very plugged-in reporter, though, and I don’t think he’d be publicly making this guess on a whim.

As far as Cheeks, my preference would definitely be Nate McMillan – not that the Pistons necessarily have that choice.
