Pistons' Ron Holland: Notches 15 points
Rotowire
Holland logged 15 points (5-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks across 24 minutes during Saturday's 94-81 Summer League loss to the 76ers.
The No. 5 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Holland offers a lot of long-term upside, but he'll have to compete for minutes with the likes of Tobias Harris, Ausar Thompson and Jalen Duren in the frontcourt next season. The forward played for the G League Ignite in 2023-24, averaging 19.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.4 steals in 31.9 minutes across 29 appearances.

Pistons' Cade Cunningham: Reaches five-year extension
Rotowire
Cunningham (knee) and the Pistons agreed on a five-year, $224 million maximum rookie extension Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Cunningham's extension could end up being worth as much as $269 million, an outlay that signals that Detroit is committed to building around the 22-year-old guard. Coming off a 14-win season, the Pistons have made a concerted effort this offseason to bring aboard veterans who can space the floor, with Detroit adding Malik Beasley, Tim Hardaway and Tobias Harris in free agency. Though his 2023-24 season was cut short in early April due to left knee tendinopathy, Cunningham showed signs of growth in his third professional campaign, averaging 22.7 points, 7.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds in 33.5 minutes over 62 games. He should be healthy for the start of training camp this fall, if he hasn't been medically cleared already.

Pistons' Malik Beasley: Headed to Motor City
Rotowire
Beasley plans to sign a one-year, $6 million-plus deal with the Pistons, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
After one season with the Bucks, during which Beasley averaged 11.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 79 regular-season games, he will head to the Pistons on a short-term deal. The 27-year-old has become known as a sharpshooter, and he shot a career-high 41.3 percent from deep last season. Detroit has made it its mission to get Cade Cunningham veteran aid and shooting, and Beasley will have a chance to provide that for the young club.

Rotowire
Harris and the Pistons agreed to a two-year, $52 million deal Monday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
The writing has been on the wall for a while for Harris in Philadelphia, and the Pistons have long been rumored to be an admirer of the forward. Getting Cade Cunningham some veteran leadership and shooting was a priority, and the Pistons did exactly that with this move. In 2023-24, Harris produced averages of 17.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.3 three-pointers over 70 regular-season games.

Rotowire
Cunningham (knee) agreed Sunday with the Pistons on a five-year, $226 million max extension, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Cunningham has been a bright spot for the Pistons since being selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. He missed most of the 2022-23 campaign due to a left shin injury, but he bounced back in 2023-24, averaging 22.7 points, 7.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds in 33.5 minutes per game over 62 appearances. He missed the end of the season due to left knee tendinopathy but should be back to full health for the start of training camp.
