Will it be “Cade SZN” or “trade SZN” for the Detroit Pistons?
Or maybe a different option?
Troy Weaver, Pistons general manager, likely won’t spill his plan for the top overall pick when he speaks publicly Tuesday ahead of the 2021 NBA draft.

Fans certainly are ready for Cade season and Cunningham spoke glowingly of a recent visit to Detroit. Pistons beat writer Omari Sankofa gives his take on the team’s options here, its offseason outlook here and ho it will handle pending free agents.
