A two year deal could work for the Pistons timeline. But the real question is how exactly you find minutes for all of these guys: Guards: Cade, Ivey, LeVert, Thomas Wings: Ausar, Robinson, Holland Bigs: Tobias, Duren, Stewart
Not to keep beating a dead horse…. But the Pistons still are in desperate need of a pure scorer coming off the bench, so while I dont have a high opinion of Cam, I do buy this rumor.
Zach Lowe calls Ausar Thompson his most intriguing player in 2025. He said his number one reason for Detroit optimism is Ausar, and his belief that he will be “really good, really soon”.
Cade has seen coaches and front offices come and go. Casey was the only consistent voice in this franchise who players likely trusted. Good for Casey if he gets a new gig, but I do wish we could keep him around.
Dwane Casey has met with the Raptors ownership for the president of basketball operations role per @Sportsnet
Hard to know what Casey has done in the front office since he left coaching, but he is clearly someone beloved by players, management and the ownership. He is also one of the few consistent voices in the careers of Cade, Ivey and others. It would be a loss to the Pistons.

Full Roster (2 open roster spots): Cunningham Ivey/LeVert/Sasser/Lanier Thompson/Robinson Harris/Holland/Klintman Duren/Stewart/Reed Two Ways: Jenkins, Smith, Jones
Would be curious to see if this is the final hurdle Langdon is waiting to clear before he signs someone on a veteran minimum. My guess is the Kuminga, Thomas, Giddey situations leave *some* potential for larger trades, for which the Pistons may want a few roster spots for.
The Suns have a “concrete offer” on the table for Jonathan Kuminga in addition to the Kings, per @ShamsCharania. In sign-and-trade talks with Golden State, Phoenix could potentially offer a package around Grayson Allen, Nick Richards, Oso Ighodaro, and draft compensation.
Worth a read from @KeithSmithNBA .
NBA Summer League is a bit about watching basketball and a lot about talking to people around the NBA about basketball. For @spotrac I emptied out half of my SL notebook. Here are notes from executives, coaches & scouts for all 15 Eastern Conference teams! spotrac.com/news/_/id/2912…
Current In & Out for the Pistons: In: Caris LeVert, Duncan Robinson, Chaz Lanier Out: Malik Beasley, Tim Hardaway Jr, Dennis Schroeder, Lindy Waters III
Injuries are always the question, but the Clippers have a supremely deep team now. Harden/CP3 Beal/Dunn/Bogdan Kawhi/Jones Jr. Collins/Batum Zubac/Lopez

Both guys want a NBA contract. Neither is satisfied with a 2-way.
