James Edwards: I think they could do a significant roster overhaul through a combination of trades and signing B-level talent in the offseason. I know the notion in Detroit (from fans) is that if they sign Tobias Harris, they’re going to give him a max, and I’m not sure that’s the case. I think you could give him bigger money, but shorter years, which would allow him to go out into the market one more time to try and get more money. I don’t think they’re going to max anyone they bring in during free agency ..read more

James Edwards: Bryson Graham from New Orleans is someone I feel would be more primed if they were going to replace Troy Weaver as general manager. Michael Scotto: Graham has a close relationship with Monty Williams. Horst had been floated out there by some people around the league for the past couple of weeks speculatively, because there’s a lot of uncertainty in Milwaukee right now ..read more

James Edwards: I think one of the biggest issues for the Pistons this year was a lack of rim protection. For all of the upside Duren has as a guy who’s already an elite rebounder at 20 years old and has good touch around the rim with some playmaking stuff here and there, he’s really got to improve defensively. I think it goes back to what I said at the top of the podcast where I think the situation Detroit finds itself – and where it’s gotten worse every year of this rebuild – is there’s pressure to be better sooner than later. I don’t think they have the luxury of what most rebuilding teams ..read more

Michael Scotto: Looking ahead to the offseason, Detroit could have up to $60 million in cap space if they decline Evan Fournier’s team option and let go of Troy Brown. Everyone is looking for them to do what the Houston Rockets did a summer ago and spend all their cap space available. From what I’ve heard, plan A is not to go the Houston route and spend all the cap space money they have in free agency. There’s a possibility Detroit will look to sign a free agent like Tobias Harris or Miles Bridges, two guys that will certainly be on their radar heading into the offseason, and then use the rem ..read more

James Edwards: They needed to add 3-point shooting and did so at the deadline with Simone Fontecchio. I think there’s no question he’s back next year, regardless of who’s running the show. He checked a lot of boxes. They have to go out and get more 3-point shooters. Malik Monk is someone I wouldn’t be surprised if they target in free agency. I would monitor teams like Brooklyn and Atlanta, who I think are at a crossroads and fit a lot of the archetypes that Detroit needs. I think there are going to be a lot of bad teams in the NBA next year, as the 2025 draft is expected to be pretty stocked ..read more

The power forward’s tenure with the 76ers is expected to end once their postseason run concludes. Several NBA executives believe there’s a chance he’ll land with the Detroit Pistons in free agency.
