The Detroit Pistons have extended a $7.2 million qualifying offer to Marvin Bagley III, making the fourth-year big man a restricted free agent, according to a report from Keith Smith of Spotrac.

Miles Bridges checks plenty of boxes. A native of Flint, Michigan, a former star player for Michigan State, oh, and he is really good at basketball. The 24-year-old forward also entering restricted free agency, and it’s no surprise that some Detroit Pistons fans are salivating at the idea of Bridges joining their favorite team. But
The Pistons Pulse is brought to you by The Detroit Free Press and is co hosted by Bryce Simon of MotorCityHoops and Omari Sankofa II, Detroit Pistons beat writer for The Detroit Free Press. Omari and Bryce continue to breakdown the Pistons Draft from this past Thursday with deeper dives into #5 overall pick Jaden
You’d think that the team that has amassed more than $40 million in cap space, nearly double any other team, might control free agency once moves are possible starting at 6 p.m. Thursday. But, as usual, this is Kyrie Irving’s (flat) world and we’re just trying to live in it. The mercurial point guard of
Assuming the draft of Jalen Duren takes the Detroit Pistons out of the running for DeAndre Ayton, it is time to turn our attention to other free agents the team could sign. I know they still are linked to Miles Bridges, but with the way Troy Weaver has used free agency so far, this doesn’t
Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode Ben Gulker and I are joined by Sean Murphy of Woodward Pistons to talk about the results of the 2022 NBA Draft. We give our thoughts on the selection of Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren, and break down how that
The Detroit Pistons added plenty of athleticism in the NBA Draft in Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren. The one thing they didn’t add is shooting, and it’s a definite need of the Detroit Pistons after finishing last season 29th in 3-point percentage. Malik Monk, 3-point specialist most recently of the Los Angeles Lakers, could be
As the player empowerment era continues to rise across the league, player movement, even among the youngest stars, has never seemed more possible. There has never been more player movement in the NBA. Detroit fans only have to look in their own backyard, as the Detroit Pistons brass have completely overhauled the roster in a
Troy Weaver was explicit about what the immediate future held: “No skipping steps.” Following Thursday night’s successful draft, where the Detroit Pistons selected Jaden Ivey and traded for the rights to Jalen Duren, it appears the Detroit front office has shifted its focus away from Phoenix Suns big-man, Deandre Ayton. Immediately following the draft, we
Oh, how quickly the Jerami Grant trade narrative changed. Wednesday night when it broke that Grant had been traded to the Blazers for a 2025 1st, a move up in the 2nd round, and a couple of future 2nds, I think it left the entire fanbase hoping that there was going to be an ensuing
The NBA Draft could not have realistically fallen any better for Troy Weaver and the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons fell two spots to No. 5 on lottery night, and that looked like a big blow considering the draft featured a consensus big three and Detroit was desperate for high-end talent to pair with Cade Cunningham.
The Detroit Pistons got two of the players near the top of their NBA Draft board Thursday in electric guard Jaden Ivey and athletic big man Jalen Duren. While introducing the two young men and talking about their excitement for the upcoming season, they also took time to look back and celebrate the deep roots

The Detroit Pistons, true to the words of GM Troy Weaver, attacked the the NBA Draft and ended the night with two lottery picks in Jaden Ivey (No. 5) and Jalen Duren (No. 13), as well as second-rounder Gabriele Procida (No. 36). The Pistons were able to accomplish this with a mix of aggression and
