Dwane Casey is on his way to Detroit.
Casey was fired last month after the Toronto Raptors were swept by Cleveland in the second round of the post-season and has now reached an agreement on a five-year deal to become the Pistons' next head coach.

Casey is the front-runner for the NBA's coach of the year award to be presented later this month.
The 61-year-old was the most successful coach in Raptors history, with a 320-238 record, three 50-win seasons and four Atlantic Division titles.
