Pistons disappointed they had to nix Rockets trade

CLEVELAND: Three days ago, Detroit Pistons president/coach Stan Van Gundy thought he’d added depth and shooting at the power forward spot. But Donatas Motiejunas didn’t pass the Pistons’ medical examination today, so the team had to ship him back to Houston.

“It’s disappointing because we saw the possibilities,” Van Gundy said today before the Pistons played the Cleveland Cavaliers. “But yeah, I would do it over again if it were out there. We did our due diligence. Just thought there was too much risk.”
