NBA professional basketball team season
The 2000–01 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] Just a little over a year after his final game, Pistons legend Joe Dumars was hired as General Manager. During the offseason, the Pistons signed free agent Joe Smith , and acquired Ben Wallace and second-year guard Chucky Atkins from the Orlando Magic . Other acquisitions included Cedric Ceballos , Dana Barros and John Wallace from the Dallas Mavericks , and Billy Owens from the Milwaukee Bucks . However, Ceballos was traded to the Miami Heat later on during the season, as the Pistons acquired Corliss Williamson in exchange for Jerome Williams and Eric Montross in a midseason trade with the Toronto Raptors .
One key piece to the team's future appeared to be Jerry Stackhouse , who had a stellar season averaging 29.8 points per game while being selected for the 2001 NBA All-Star Game . However, the Pistons struggled finishing fifth in the Central Division with a 33-49 record. Following the season, Smith re-signed with the Minnesota Timberwolves , head coach George Irvine was fired, rookie Mateen Cleaves was traded to the Sacramento Kings , John Wallace was dealt along with Jud Buechler to the Phoenix Suns , and Owens retired.
