Link to the Pistons salary situation. https://www.spotrac.com/nba/detroit-pistons/yearly They sit at about $135 million with 11 players signed. This included none of the free agents for this summer like Duren. Salary cap is projected at $165 million. 1st Apron at $209 million. 2nd Apron at $222 million. Luxury tax at $201 million. Draft: June 23rd is the first round and the 24th is the second round. Pistons are picking 21st. They currently do not have a 2nd round pick. Key free agent dates: June 30th at 6PM eastern teams are free to start talking to free agents. July 1st the moratorium begins. Teams can continue to negotiate, but no contracts or trades can happen at this time. The league uses this time to go over the books and determine the seasons salary cap. June 6th at noon eastern teams can officially start to sign free agents. Dates related to the Pistons and their players: June 29th - The team option for Jenkins and Smith must be decided by this date. If they pick up Smith's option it is not guaranteed, yet. January 10th - Reed, Robinson, and Smith are guaranteed if still on the roster at this date. Reed and Smith can be cut this summer and cost Detroit $0. Robinson can be cut this summer and cost Detroit $2 million, compared to his $15 million season salary. Pistons free agents: Jalen Duren - Restricted full Bird rights Tobias Harris - Unrestricted partial Bird rights Javonte Green - Unrestricted partial Bird rights Kevin Huerter - Unrestricted full Bird rights Malik Beasley - Unrestricted partial Bird rights. Yes, they still hold the rights to Beasley. Full vs. restricted Bird rights. Full means they can go over the cap for pretty much any amount to sign them. Partial means there are restrictions on how much they can offer. They can go over that restriction, but then they need actual cap space to offer them. Most feel the Pistons will operate as an over the cap team this summer. That means they will have no cap space to use on free agents. They will get the Mid-Level Exception(MLE). The MLE Is a certain percentage of the cap and will probably be around $15.5 million this year. So that is what the Pistons have to work with in free agency this summer, $15.5 million. They did have the Bi-Annual Exception, but burned it in the trade with Minnesota. That means they can't use it this summer, but can again in the summer of 2027.

Going to keep the coach search and draft stuff in their own threads. Just going off the top of my head here. I believe their free agents are Diallo, McGruder, and Joseph. Team options on Burks, Omoruyi, Hampton, and Livers. No clue on the dates of those options. $30 million or so in cap space but that includes letting Burks go which isn't going to happen. So $20m in cap space roughly. The rookie options have all been picked up for next season. I believe the Pistons are now eligible to make trades but only with other teams whose season has ended.

29 wins +/- 3 either way. Cade has a monster year, all star considerations. People keep telling me Bogdanović will fetch multiple first round picks. He wont. Ausar makes 1st team all rookie. Sasser makes second team. Some moves will be made, nothing considered major. Stewart and Cade both shoot >= 33% from three. Weaver keeps job but that seat is very hot.

No chance Victor plays in that game.

Next Pistons head coach: Who might replace Dwane Casey in Detroit A very blah list IMO. Charles Lee - Probably my favorite of the names mentioned in the article. Jerry Stackhouse - Four years in and he can't even make the tournament. Pass. Ime Udoka - Huge massive pass. His agent has to be the one floating his name since no way is anyone going to hire him. Not gonna repeat the rumors. But you don't get fired for a consensual relationship on the side. Something was bad there. Big huge pass. Kevin Ollie - Kind of a shady dude. Not a good enough coach to look past that. Sean Sweeney - His defense was putrid this year. Although, he really made some nice adjustments against Phoenix in the playoffs last year to hide Luka on defense. Jay Wright - I like him. But I doubt he retired just to turn around and coach this turd of a team. Rex Kalamian - I think people would have a fit if someone from the Casey staff got promoted.

Look on the bright side. We are no longer paying Blake Griffin.
