“I’ve seen a couple of guys tear ACLs in front of me, but not something that extensive to where you could hear the injury happening,” Pistons guard Langston Galloway told The Athletic. Galloway was on the Pistons’ bench when Roberson suffered the injury. “That’s the first time I’d seen or heard something like that. “He tries to plant and all I remember was … I heard like a pop and I didn’t know what it was. I thought it was somebody behind me. I didn’t know what happened.”

Prince agreed to the task, but wanted to provide full transparency: He was not yet a certified personal trainer. Everything he had done to that point was side work to help out friends. For Galloway, Prince wanted to make sure everything was handled properly. Galloway came back to Prince with another proposition. “He told me that he needed to step his game up and get certified, so I told him that we should do it together,” Galloway, 28, told The Athletic. “I really hadn’t planned on entering this space, but once I looked into it, I saw that it wasn’t that bad. “I like to help out my friends and grow together. We can’t do it individually. With the quarantine going on, and me having a little time on my hands, I thought this would be great trying to knock out. I already have three clients.”
The league spent $3.75 billion on player salaries this year, and a replacement-level player would command the veteran’s minimum of $1,618,520. Work backward and overall, a player who was 1 point per 100 possessions above replacement level (say, Landry Shamet or Langston Galloway) was worth $3,183 more than the minimum for every minute he played. Such a player playing 1,000 minutes over the course of the season was worth just less than $5 million. The most valuable player based on this was (duh) Giannis Antetokounmpo, whose production this year was worth $63.75 million in my methodology. I didn’t use negative values for players — the vast majority of the most terrible players are rookies or developmental players who are holding down roster spots for future purposes. For the curious, the two least valuable by this metric were both 20-year-old guards — Cleveland’s Darius Garland and Portland’s Anfernee Simons.

Langston Galloway. Contract status: Free agent after the season. Odds he returns: 50 percent. Analysis: Galloway’s shooting was a bit inconsistent during the first two years of a three-year, $21 million contract he signed in 2017. However, this season, he was as consistent as anyone on the roster. Galloway was the only Piston to appear in every game, was arguably the team’s second-best on-ball defender and shot 39.9 percent from 3 on a career-high five attempts per game. Furthermore, Galloway improved as a finisher around the rim. This season, 11 percent of his shot attempts came within 0-3 feet from the basket, and while that’s not an eye-popping percentage by any means, it’s the most of Galloway’s career. He converted on a solid 67.8 percent of those attempts.
Casey loves Galloway and his professionalism, and while Detroit is in a rebuilding phase, keeping a veteran like Galloway around would have its benefits. If it were up to Casey, I think Galloway would come back on a new deal. The front office could go another direction, but there’s no question Galloway is welcome inside the organization.
Rod Beard: #Pistons Langston Galloway on his concern, having just played the #Jazz on Saturday: “It’s in the back of our minds. We understand the space we’re in right now, knowing we just played them.”
Rod Beard: For what it’s worth, all of the #Pistons rumored in trade talks were at shootaround today: Derrick Rose, Andre Drummond, Luke Kennard, Markieff Morris, Langston Galloway, Svi Mykhailiuk and Christian Wood.
76ers: Galloway would give the 76ers a shooter, an expiring contract, Full Bird rights and a try-hard on defense. He alone could fetch the Pistons a decent return. Per a source, Galloway has been of interest to Philly.
Langston Galloway: Galloway is a 39.7 percent 3-point shooter who tries on defense and is on an expiring deal. All signs point to him being on the trade block, even though the 28-year-old is valued in Detroit as an ultimate professional. The 76ers have expressed some interest, per a source. I don’t think Galloway would bring the same return in a trade as Reggie Bullock did last year (Detroit got Svi Mykhailiuk and a 2021 second-round draft pick), but I could see the Pistons earning a second-round pick for him.
James Edwards III: FINAL: #Wizards 106, #Pistons 100. Washington went 3-1 against Detroit (16-28) this year. Rose: 21 points (ninth straight game with 20-plus) Drummond: 18p, 16r, 9t and 5s. Snell: 16p GallowaySvi: 10p each.
Sixers interested in Luke Kennard, Langston Galloway and Jeff Green
What about Galloway’s Detroit Pistons teammate Luke Kennard or NBA free agent Jeff Green. Add those names to the list of wing players the Sixers have expressed interest in acquiring in a trade and/or free agent signees, according to multiple league sources. One source confirmed that Green worked for the Sixers in Miami while the team was there to face the Heat a couple of weeks ago.
Langston Galloway: RIP David Stern! Prayers up to his family!!!
Aside from Galloway’s production this season, he also has an expiring contract, which is valuable. According to one league source, there is a top team in the Eastern Conference that is potentially interested in Galloway’s services. If the Pistons remain in the playoff hunt and remain adamant on chasing one of the final seeds, Galloway seems unlikely to go anywhere before the deadline — though a late first-round pick might be too enticing. However, if the Pistons pivot, Galloway could still be traded for an asset.
Rod Beard: FINAL: #Bucks 127, #Pistons 103 Drummond: 23 pts, 14 rebs, 5 assts Galloway: 20 pts Griffin: 16 pts, 10 rebs #Bucks get 35 pts, 9 rebs from Giannis and win their 13th straight.
“(Poor shooting) didn’t affect our game tonight. Defensively, it was a lack of effort tonight; it was embarrassing,” said guard Langston Galloway, who had 13 points. “We have to step it up and take it to another level. We have to be better. “We have to come out with better effort and better starts in the first quarter and third quarter. We have to find our way out of this; we’re in a deep hole.”
James Edwards III: FINAL: #Timberwolves 120, #Pistons 114. Detroit falls to 4-7 with a game in Miami tomorrow. Luke Kennard with a team-high 25 points; Blake Griffin with 19p, 7r and 5a in his return; Langston Galloway with 18 points.
James Edwards III: #FINAL: #Pistons 122, #Knicks 102. Tony Snell: 24 points on 9-of-9 shooting Andre Drummond: 27 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists Langston Galloway: 13 points Luke Kennard: 12 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists Detroit is now 4-5 with a trip to Indy on Friday.
Pistons open to trading Langston Galloway
Two league sources tell the Free Press the Pistons are very open to moving Galloway, which isn’t surprising. The Pistons have engaged teams on Galloway for months, but his price tag (one year, $7.3 million) remains a challenging roadblock.
Vincent Ellis: Langston Galloway (illness) will be available, but Kennard (sore foot) remains questionable tonight for #Pistons vs. Pacers.
Langston Galloway: Praying for you Nurkic!

Rod Beard: FINAL: #Pistons 131, #Bulls 108. Griffin: 28 pts, 6 rebs, 5 assts. Jackson: 21 pts, 6 assts. Galloway: 21 pts (6-of-6 from 3). DET (34-31) has won 5 straight and has a big week, at BKN and MIA.
All season long, Galloway’s sneakers have produced conversations at the free-throw line. And Saturday’s victory over the Heat, with time for his kicks to be more intently examined, was no different. “Derrick Jones looked down and was like, ‘Bro, those are tough. You have some heat on,’” Galloway said. “I was like, ‘Yeah, I got to do it.’ He was telling me he liked the shoes. It’s always cool when people acknowledge your shoes. “Eventually, that’ll become a thing because of the NBA’s lifted rules. Guys will be talking about shoes more during free throws.”
James Edwards III: #FINAL: #Pistons 129, #Nuggets 103. Detroit gets its first 20-point win of the season. Drummond with a season-high 27p, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks; Stanley Johnson with 21; Galloway 18; Kennard 14; Griffin 17; RJax 14.
James Edwards III: Asked Dwane Casey about the challenge of knowing which shooters to play when all have been up and down (re: Langston’s night in LA): “I wish I had a magic wand to know who would be hot.” Said Langston woulda been in sooner if he knew that was the result.
Galloway is one of the more well-respected sneakerheads in the NBA. His collection now includes about 1,000 pairs and is split up between his suburban Detroit residence and hometown of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Galloway’s imprint in the sneaker community helped him earn a shoe deal with startup shoe company Q4 almost two years ago. The company provides the silhouettes as a canvas for his creative freedom. The logo is always visible. Every animated concept is generated by Galloway, a suggestion derived from the 10-year-old version of himself that still resides somewhere in his brain. From there, Galloway then relays his ideas to the two people he’s trusted in resurrecting his boyhood, Minnesota artists Salvatore Marcum, 26, known online as “MPLS Customs,” and Andrew Lewis, 32, better known as “ANDR3WTL.” Galloway was introduced to the shoe-based illustrators through hometown friend and WNBA star Seimone Augustus, who has played for the Minnesota Lynx since 2006.
The Pistons (13-13) brushed off questions of the officials possibly missing a crucial call as they lost their sixth straight. The players said they never considered the officials might wave off the basket. “We were just on to the next play, trying to figure out how much time was going to be left, what we could draw up to either tie it up or try to win the game,” Galloway said.
Rod Beard: FINAL: #Pelicans 116, #Pistons 108 DET loses 4th straight, with Anthony Davis only scoring 6 pts. Griffin: 35 pts, 5 rebs Galloway: 24 pts (season high) Drummond: 23 pts, 19 rebs
James Edwards III: Earlier today, I asked Dwane Casey about his Ish Smith-Langston Galloway-Bruce Brown-Stanley Johnson-Zaza unit, and he called them his “Rottweilers.”
James Edwards III: FINAL: #Pistons 118, #Suns 107. Detroit is now 10-7 with two more winnable games ahead before its December from Hell begins with the Warriors next Saturday. Blake Griffin had 16 points and 11 assists, Langston Galloway and Stanley Johnson combine for 29 off the bench.
“It’d be huge. I know he really wants that win,” guard Langston Galloway said. “He won’t say it — but we need to get this win for him.”
“It’s just the numbers thing,” Casey said of Robinson’s spotty minutes. “I tell guys all the time, if an opportunity comes, be ready to step in because you never know, whether it’s Bruce Brown, Glenn Robinson, Langston (Galloway). Our guys have done a heck of a job being ready when their number is called.”

Rod Beard: #Pistons deal for Jose Calderon could be a money-saver … I’m told they’re pursuing trades to open up cap space. Potential trade pieces are Ish Smith, Jon Leuer or Langston Galloway.

Rod Beard: #Pistons Stan Van Gundy said he played Galloway over Kennard today to try to get something going: “We just haven’t been getting much out of that position. Both those guys are struggling and we thought we’d go the other way.”
Rod Beard: #Pistons SVG on playing Jameer Nelson over Langston Galloway at backup PG: “(Nelson) had a good practice yesterday and even tonight he made some good passes. The ball movement is a little better. I don’t know that we’ll stay that way, though.”
Van Gundy would prefer Smith bring energy off the bench and play with the second unit. That’s why he started Langston Galloway at the point Wednesday against Utah. That didn’t work well, as Galloway had five points (2 for 7) and four assists in 20 minutes in a 98-95 overtime loss.
“We’re trying to find an answer,” Van Gundy said. “The other idea with Ish was, where we had had our most success, not all the time, generally was when our starters held their own and our bench outplayed their bench. We’ve sort of lost that advantage and we’re trying to gain that back. Is that the answer? We’ll find out.”
