James Edwards III: The Hornets hired DJ Bakker to be the HC of their G League team, per sources. Bakker — who worked under Dwane Casey in DET and TOR, and most recently Adrian Griffin in MIL — was the Motor City Cruise HC from 2021-22. Embedded with him for a day in 2022: nytimes.com/athletic/37571…
Sean Highkin: The Blazers announce that March 9’s game against Detroit will be dedicated to celebrating Bill Walton. (Worth noting: his son Luke is an assistant coach with the Pistons, so he’ll be there)
“It doesn’t ever die,” Joey Skinn, the manager at ABC Vintage, said. “(Vintage clothing) is the one thing in fashion that never goes out of style.” At any given time inside the establishment, which is co-owned by Aaron Cohen and Mike Pang, you’ll find forgotten, lost and unique clothing from Detroit’s four major professional sports teams, as well as the University of Michigan and Michigan State University, other sports teams, musical artists and movies. Every “sports piece,” as vintage heads like to call the clothing, was birthed in the 1970s, ’80s, ’90s or early 2000s by well-known apparel companies like Chalk Line or Starter and by fashion designers like Jeff Hamilton. Others are “bootlegs” from those periods — pieces of clothing, often illegally using sports team logos or variations of them, created by civilians and sold out of the trunks of cars or hung on nearby fences during big sporting events in the city.
Locked away in a basement, not yet made for sale, there is a vintage T-shirt that, on its surface, looks like a teal-era Pistons item from the 1990s. However, when you look at the back of the shirt, it shows a drawing of a Lions quarterback throwing a pass to a wide receiver. Nearby is a black Pistons T-shirt that has a caricature drawing of Rick Mahorn but reads “Joe Dumas” underneath it. On the back, there’s a caricature of Vinnie “The Microwave” Johnson that properly states his name, but if you turn the shirt inside out, there is a caricature of John “The Spider” Salley with his name properly spelled. “I don’t even know what to price stuff like this at,” Cohen said with a laugh.
Michael Scotto: The Detroit Pistons are hiring Matthew Verden as Director of Grassroots Scouting and Intelligence, league sources told @hoopshype . Verden was Senior Manager, Player Personnel and Strategy for @OvertimeElite .
