Post draft roster look
Detroit brought in Tony Snell, Sekou Doumbouya, and Jordan Bone.
Deividas Sirvydis is expected to stay overseas next season, and Robinson's option is expected to be declined.
So the current roster looks like this:
Jackson/Bone
Brown/Kennard/Galloway/Thomas
Snell/Svi
Griffin/Doumbouya
Drummond/Maker
Detroit will have roughly $13.2 mil to spend while staying under the tax. They can break that up into some combination of using Ish's bird rights, the MLE, BAE, and vet minimum contracts.
Backup PG is an obvious concern, the entire SF position is weak, and there isn't much at either backup PF or backup C.

Re: Post draft roster look
If Kennard is coming off the bench again I'm going to lose my mind... If Brown can play SF as a horrendous offensive player who plays solid defense then I wouldn't mind just throwing Sekou in to develop him.

Re: Post draft roster look
At least we won't have guys like Kennard or Galloway playing the 3 as much

If Brown comes back with a 3pt shot then he's starter quality

Brown was just a Rookie last year. I expect him to make some strides.

Re: Post draft roster look
The money is going to be spent in a PG, then minimum vets for the rest of the positions.

Re: Post draft roster look
Bone is gonna be a two-way contract player.

I don't know about that - they paid $2M (and a future SRP) to buy the pick to draft him 57th overall. If they just wanted him as a 2-way player they could have signed him to such a contract - or at least offered it. Now if they don't sign him to a NBA contract he's a free agent, I don't believe they hold his rights and can force him to sign a 2-way deal like that.

Jordan Bone signed a two-way contract with the Detroit Pistons, a source told Sportando.

Re: Post draft roster look
$6M for Seth Curry, and then two vet minimum players - one at SF and the other a PF/CE combo big. Same gimmick with the later players like Zaza and Calderon where you can pay them more but only be on the cap hit hook for vet minimum.
Jackson|Curry|Bone
Kennard|Galloway|Brown|Thomas
Snell|???|Doumbouya|Mykhailiuk
Griffin|Maker
Drummond|???
Maybe could get away with no vet minimum SF depending on Svi showing anything and Doumbouya ready for spot minutes even early. Casey has played Kennard, Brown, Galloway up at SF in smaller line-ups last year so our 2/3 wings could have 6 bodies that could play both spots - Kennard, Brown, Galloway, Thomas, Snell, Mykhailiuk and then Doumbouya a 3/4.
Hopefully we get better G-League two way players that could actually plan NBA minutes - that is free cap space if you use it properly.
$6M for a 4/5 with the MLE and $6M to bring back Ish - who I don't think will be getting near the offers some think here.

I stand corrected. However it makes even less sense to trade for the pick now. They could have just signed him assuming he wasn't drafted in the final four picks. Why spend $2M and a future second for a guy who was ready and willing to sign a 2-way contract here? I mean those contracts are capped out at very low 6-figures. Pistons spent 2M for that and a future second rounder?

Re: Post draft roster look
Assuming we lose Ish, our healthy upside is not as good as last year, as evidenced by our horrible record when he was out with injury. Bone's lack of experience won't be any better than Calderon's lack of ability to move.
Tom Gores' Securus faced a class action lawsuit in 2024. The company engaged in a "quid pro quo kickback scheme" with county jails in Michigan which banned in-person visits in order to maximize revenue from voice and video calls.

Re: Post draft roster look
Bone ain't any better than Keenan Evans. We need two point guards and a 4/5 rotational big.
Probably bring back Jose and Zaza at this point.

Re: Post draft roster look
At this point, we have to beg Ish to stay with us right? Unless we go out and find Shane Larkin from the boneyard out of desperation.
We are rail thin on point guards, and this means more ball handling duties for Blake, which likely means he plays more instead of load managing.

Re: Post draft roster look
the Pistons gave 3-2nd round picks back and money. for later picks.so what did they gain just 1 second rounder for moving back twice?go figure.moving from 30 to 37 and 45 to 57.it looks like the pistons got screwed on these deals.
