Overview

  • Detroit inked Paul Reed to a two-year contract extension on June 30 to maintain interior defense and rebounding.
  • Veteran guard Caris LeVert agreed to a two-year, $29 million deal with the Pistons to add versatile scoring and playmaking off the bench.
  • Dennis Schröder has agreed to sign with the Sacramento Kings after averaging 10.8 points and 5.3 assists in 28 games for Detroit last season.
  • The Pistons suspended their pursuit of Malik Beasley following confirmation of a U.S. District Attorney investigation into NBA-related gambling allegations.
  • With cap space limited and Cade Cunningham emerging as an All-NBA talent, Detroit still faces key decisions on Tim Hardaway Jr. and additional role players to round out its roster.
