Detroit Pistons
Team Summary
Consolidated around Cade Cunningham with a busy July: added John Collins ($17M AAV via sign-and-trade) and Kevin Huerter for shooting, then used the six-team framework to move Caris LeVert to Milwaukee for Taurean Prince, Gary Harris and second-rounders while sending Isaiah Stewart to Memphis and Marcus Sasser to Dallas. The Jalen Duren standoff defines the rest of the summer — Detroit has vowed to match any offer sheet on the All-NBA big, and no rival has the cap room to pressure them. Defense regresses without Stewart's rim protection, so offensive efficiency gains must carry the playoff push. Ausar Thompson's 5yr/$155M rookie extension (Sep 18) locks the All-Defense wing in next to Cade through 2031-32.
