Pistons' John Collins: Meshing well with Cunningham
Collins plans to use his versatility to complement Cade Cunningham after joining the Pistons during the offseason, Hunter Patterson of The Athletic reports.
The veteran forward highlighted Cunningham's playmaking ability and said he wants to generate easy baskets by playing off the star guard. Collins shot 40.6 percent from three-point range during the 2025-26 regular season, and his combination of perimeter shooting and finishing ability should give Cunningham another versatile offensive option.

Pistons' Brice Williams: Signs Exhibit 10 pact
Williams signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Pistons on Monday, Eric Woodyard of ESPN reports.
Williams will compete for a spot on Detroit's regular-season roster, and the team also owns his G League rights. He spent the 2025-26 campaign with the Motor City Cruise and will likely return to the Cruise if he's waived by Detroit.

Pistons' John Ukomadu: Joining Detroit for training camp
Ukomadu signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Pistons on Monday, Eric Woodyard of ESPN reports.
Ukomadu will compete for a spot on the Pistons' regular-season roster. The organization also owns his G League rights, so he'll likely report to the Motor City Cruise if he's waived.

Pistons' Kevin Huerter: Healthy ahead of season
Huerter said Monday that he's healthy entering training camp after undergoing surgery during the offseason to address a groin injury, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Huerter said the injury initially occurred during his time with Chicago before he aggravated it during Detroit's first-round playoff series against Orlando. He underwent a cleanup procedure after the Pistons' postseason run ended and has since returned to full health, putting him on track to participate in training camp without limitations.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Holding out over contract talks
Duren won't attend the Pistons' media day Monday and isn't planning to show up for the start of training camp, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The Pistons have reportedly offered Duren a fully guaranteed five-year, $200 million deal in restricted free agency, but the two sides remain at a stalemate. Duren is coming off a breakout 2025-26 regular season in which he earned his first All-Star and All-NBA selections while averaging 19.5 points and 10.5 rebounds on 65.0 percent shooting. The 22-year-old big man has until Thursday's deadline to accept the deal, or he'll be forced to play under a one-year, $9.6 million qualifying offer.

Pistons' Romeo Weems: Signs training camp contract
Weems signed a training camp contract with Detroit on Friday, Paul Garcia of The Spot Up Shot reports.
Weems could compete for a spot on Detroit's regular-season roster, though it's more likely he'll report to the club's G League affiliate, the Motor City Cruise. He appeared in 42 G League games with the Rip City Remix last season, averaging 7.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.8 blocks in 23.7 minutes per contest.

Pistons' Isaiah Joe: Lined up for pivotal bench role
Joe is positioned for a vital role off the Detroit bench this year, per Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News.
Although Joe is penciled in for a reserve role, it's not out of the question he'll challenge Duncan Robinson for the top spot at shooting guard at times this season. In any event, Joe's presence on the perimeter as a catch-and-shoot threat should help make space on the floor for Cade Cunningham to operate when they're playing alongside one another. The 27-year-old three-point specialist is opening the year as a late-round flier in fantasy leagues.

Pistons' John Collins: Stepping into key role
Collins could be the most significant offseason addition for the Pistons, per Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News.
Collins is replacing Tobias Harris, who left for San Antonio this summer, in the starting lineup this year. The veteran power forward is a strong lob threat and pick-and-roll big man, which could play well with Cade Cunningham running the show at point guard. Collins got off to a rough start last season but experienced a second-half turnaround from Jan. 1 onward, averaging 14.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.5 three-pointers per game while shooting 58.1 percent from the floor and 45.2 percent from downtown over his final 38 regular-season appearances.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Remains in contract limbo
Duren and the Pistons remain in a standoff over contract negotiations, per Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press.
The gap in negotiations between the two sides has been well-documented this offseason. With the preseason looming, the two parties are running out of time to reach a compromise at this point. As it stands, Duren is a restricted free agent but would be primed for a big role at center if he accepts the qualifying offer or lands an extension and stays with a Pistons team that shipped out Isaiah Stewart over the summer.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Filling greater leadership role
Cunningham is getting ready for his sixth season in the league, per Coty M. Davis of The Detroit News.
Cunningham, 24, finds himself now being the longest-tenured player on the Pistons after the team traded veteran big man Isaiah Stewart to Memphis this offseason. The move puts more of an emphasis on Cunningham as a leader, and the star guard remains worthy of a first-round pick in most fantasy drafts this fall after averaging 23.9 points, 9.9 assists, 5.5 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 0.8 blocks per game last regular season.

Pistons' Ausar Thompson: Agrees to five-year extension with DET
Thompson agreed to a five-year, $155 million rookie-scale contract extension with the Pistons on Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The Pistons have locked up their defensive ace through the 2031-32 season, so while Jalen Duren's future in Detroit remains murky, Thompson is now locked in as a foundational piece alongside Cade Cunningham for years to come. Thompson has proven to be a solid playmaker and defender, but he still has room to grow offensively, and it remains to be seen if he can develop a reliable three-point stroke.

Pistons' Paul Reed: In line for increased role
Reed will be in line for increased playing time and is expected to operate as the Pistons' backup center in 2026-27, per Hunter Patterson of The Athletic.
The Pistons remain in contract talks with Jalen Duren, but assuming the restricted free agent returns for at least one more season, Reed should operate as Detroit's primary backup center. The club traded Isaiah Stewart to the Grizzlies in June, and all signs point toward Reed taking on an increased role. The 27-year-old center played double-digit minutes in 42 of his regular-season appearances (11 starts) in 2025-26, averaging 10.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.1 steals while shooting 62.6 percent from the field across 18.3 minutes per contest in those outings.

Pistons' Ronald Holland: Could see increased role in 2026-27
Holland should step into a more pronounced role in the 2026-27 campaign, per Hunter Patterson of The Athletic.
The Pistons lost Tobias Harris to the Spurs in free agency and traded Isaiah Stewart to the Grizzlies this offseason, leaving increased minutes available for Holland. The 21-year-old has a much clearer path to playing time this season and figures to back up John Collins. Holland saw a slight bump in minutes during his sophomore season in 2025-26, averaging 8.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 steals across 19.9 minutes per tilt in 78 regular-season games (five starts).

Pistons' Paul Reed: Contract fully guaranteed
The Pistons fully guaranteed Reed's $5.6 million contract for the 2026-27 season, Jake Fischer of BleacherReport.com reports.
This was essentially a formality for the Pistons after Reed put together a solid 2025-26 campaign. Across 65 regular-season contests, he shot 61.7 percent from the field for averages of 7.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.9 steals in 13.9 minutes per contest. He's penciled in as the backup center ahead of the new campaign, assuming Jalen Duren ultimately re-signs.

Pistons' Jalen Duren: Extension still not close
Duren and the Pistons remain apart in contract negotiations, with Detroit offering approximately $35 million annually while Duren is seeking more than $40 million per year, according to Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com.
The two sides have been unable to reach an agreement throughout the summer, leaving Duren as one of the NBA's most prominent remaining restricted free agents. The 22-year-old could accept his $9.6 million qualifying offer and become an unrestricted free agent next summer, but Detroit has maintained that it wants to retain him long-term, making an eventual agreement the more likely outcome. Duren is coming off a breakout 2025-26 regular season in which he earned his first All-Star and All-NBA selections while averaging 19.5 points and 10.5 rebounds on 65.0 percent shooting.
