Cade as a Piston:
20.0 PPG
5.0 RPG
6.5 APG

Cade Cunningham’s contract, obviously, is the biggest in franchise history.
The franchise centerpiece had a really good season despite the team’s record. Should only get better given the added spacing around him this summer. – 1:52 PM

As things stand right now — assuming Cade, Harris and Duren start — who do you think the #Pistons‘ starting wings will be? – 10:31 AM

The Pistons’ top offseason priority was to surround Cade Cunningham with players who provide ample floor-spacing ability.
Trajan Langdon has built what finally looks like a competent rotation in Detroit:
Starters = Cade Cunningham, Malik Beasley, Ausar Thompson, Tobias Harris, pic.twitter.com/7AJS45aaAM – 7:38 PM

The Pistons are putting a max offer on the table for Cade Cunningham. Trajan Langdon’s certainly hoping he’s not the only of Detroit’s young players to earn one freep.com/story/sports/n… – 12:06 PM

More on this storyline
At this stage, it’s unlikely either Alperen Şengün or Jalen Green receive max rookie extensions — both are eligible for a five-year deal worth up to $224.2 million, per The Athletic’s salary cap expert Danny LeRoux. Houston has had conversations with both camps concerning an extension and will continue dialogue during the offseason, but the chances of either player inking an agreement in the realm of fellow 2021 draftees Cade Cunningham ($236 million) or Scottie Barnes (potentially up to $270 million) are slim. It’s more likely the Rockets revisit this next year, unless there is an agreement that benefits both sides. -via New York Times / July 2, 2024
The Detroit Pistons and Cade Cunningham are discussing a five-year, $226 million maximum rookie extension that would be the richest contract in franchise history, league sources confirmed to The Athletic on Sunday. The deal is not finalized and could take time to iron out the details, but both sides are optimistic something will get done in the near future. -via New York Times / June 30, 2024
Yossi Gozlan: Cade Cunningham’s year-by-year cap hits on his five-year, $224 million maximum extension with the Detroit Pistons. They could still roll over max cap space into 2025 if they don’t add salaries beyond next season. pic.twitter.com/zmnclCiBRl -via Twitter @YossiGozlan / June 30, 2024
