Modifications are coming to the Pistons. Troy Weaver is out whereas Trajan Langdon is in because the lead determination maker, that means main roster adjustments are to observe. Monty Williams, regardless of the huge contract he signed simply greater than a 12 months in the past, is on skinny ice now.
Cade Cunningham will not be going wherever, he would be the one fixed. Cunningham adopted up a shin-injury-shortened second NBA season with a breakout third one, averaging 22.7 factors, 7.5 assists, and 4.3 rebounds and capturing 35.5% from 3.
Detroit goes to lock down Cunningham with a max rookie contract extension, which is each logical and confirmed by James Edwards III of The Athletic.
I am 99.9 % certain that Cunningham will get an extension this offseason. I do not wish to say 100% since you by no means know what can occur, however I would be surprised if the 2021 No. 1 total decide would not signal a max rookie extension.
That will be a five-year, $226 million contract (25% of the wage cap, a quantity that might go up if Cunningham made All-NBA subsequent season).
Cunningham looks like Detroit’s one certain constructing block, though gamers similar to Jalen Duren and Ausar Thompson are getting near becoming a member of him. The Pistons head into this offseason with lots of cap house. Nonetheless, reasonably than chase veterans, Detroit could be clever to contemplate taking over a foul wage in a commerce so long as a couple of first-round picks or good younger gamers are thrown in. The job is discovering extra expertise and constructing round Cunningham.
Which is what you do with max gamers.
