Detroit Pistons to Hire Dwane Casey as Head Coach

It didn’t take long for Dwane Casey to find another landing spot as a head coach after being fired by the Toronto Raptors, as ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that he has agreed to a 5-year deal to be the head coach of the Detroit Pistons.

Following the departure of Stan Van Gundy as coach and president of basketball operations, Pistons owner Tom Gores and senior adviser Ed Stefanski pursued Casey heavily, giving him a long-term commitment to the team as they look to return to the playoffs and remain a force in the Eastern Conference for years to come. They certainly have some of the pieces in place, with Blake Griffin and Andre Drummond, as they look to build around them to contend.

Most people believe Casey is this year’s NBA Coach of the Year after posting the best regular season record for the Toronto Raptors in franchise history, but was fired when the Cleveland Cavaliersswept them out of the playoffs a second time.

With Dwane on board, the Pistons have a good chance of ending their playoff drought as early as next season.

‘NBA Live 19’ Introduces New Dribble Crossover Combos

With EA Sports successfully rolling out NBA Live 18, the west coast team is readying their next basketball simulation title. Last week, EA presented LIVE 19 to the public, which featured drastic graphical overhauls for in-game fluidity. Luckily, gameplay is also getting several tune-ups this year, including a new dribbling system for deadly crossover. Through compiled media footage below, the game introduces a variety of double crossover and between the leg crossovers. However, those moves will be limited to just players like Kyrie Irving, Chris Paul, Jamal Crawford and maybe at times, Steph Curry for certain moves. Outside of those four, if you try with any other point-guard around the league, they’ll likely lose the rock and possibly even turn it over. Take a look at the clips below and let us know in the comments what you think.
