- The 1996–97 NBA season was the Pistons' 49th season in the National Basketball Association, and 40th season in the city of Detroit. During the off-season, the Pistons acquired Stacey Augmon and Grant Long from the Atlanta Hawks, and re-signed free agent and former "Bad Boy" Rick Mahorn, who was a member of the 1989 championship team that defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in the Finals. The team also signed three-point specialist Kenny Smith, who won two championships with the Houston Rockets, but was released to free agency in November after nine games. The Pistons got off to a fast start winning ten of their first eleven games on their way to a 20–4 start, and later holding a 34–12 record at the All-Star break. At mid-season, the team traded Augmon to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Aaron McKie. Despite their successful start, the Pistons struggled a bit down the stretch posting a 20–16 record for the remainder of the season, losing six of their final nine games. The Pistons finished third in the Central Division with a 54–28 record, which was their first 50-win season since 1991. Grant Hill averaged 21.4 points, 9.0 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.8 steals per game, while being named to the All-NBA First Team, and finishing in third place in Most Valuable Player behind Karl Malone and Michael Jordan, while Joe Dumars averaged 14.7 points and 4.0 assists per game. Hill, Dumars and head coach Doug Collins represented the Eastern Conference during the 1997 NBA All-Star Game. In addition, Lindsey Hunter showed improvement averaging 14.2 points and 1.6 steals per game, while Otis Thorpe provided the team with 13.1 points and 7.9 rebounds per game, and sixth man Terry Mills contributed 10.8 points and 4.3 rebounds per game off the bench, and led the team with 175 three-point field goals. Second-year center Theo Ratliff averaged 5.8 points and 1.5 blocks per game, and Long provided with 5.0 points and 3.4 rebounds per game. In the Eastern Conference First Round of the playoffs, the Pistons took a 2–1 series lead over the Atlanta Hawks, but lost the next two games, thus losing the series in five games. Following the season, Thorpe was traded to the Vancouver Grizzlies after feuding with Collins, while Mills signed as a free agent with the Miami Heat, and Michael Curry signed with the Milwaukee Bucks. For the season, the Pistons revealed a new primary logo of a flaming horse head, and changed their uniforms replacing blue with teal to their color scheme. The new primary logo and uniforms both remained in use until 2001. (en)
