The Detroit Pistons are gearing up for the 2024-2025 NBA season with a focus on integrating new veterans, including Malik Beasley. While the team has significant cap space, they opted for strategic signings of complementary role players rather than pursuing a big-name All-Star. Beasley, a proven three-point shooter with extensive experience from multiple teams, is expected to enhance the Pistons’ lineup, particularly in supporting Cade Cunningham by providing much-needed shooting. His addition underscores Detroit's commitment to building a competitive roster around their young core.

The Detroit Pistons are included in the potential streaming agreement between Amazon and Diamond Sports Group, which would allow fans to access a wider range of NBA games. However, Milwaukee fans would not be able to view out-of-market games featuring the Pistons through this new offering, but could access them through NBA League Pass.
