The Detroit Pistons have welcomed former Michigan star Caris LeVert to their roster, hoping to build on his talent and the shooting prowess of Duncan Robinson, who is set to join him after leaving the Miami Heat. Although a potential reunion with Tim Hardaway Jr. fell through as he signed with the Denver Nuggets, the duo of LeVert and Robinson, alongside star guard Cade Cunningham, promises to enhance the Pistons' offensive capabilities.

Robinson, who secured a lucrative three-year deal worth $48 million, has made quite the journey since his college days at Williams and Michigan, navigating the G League before earning a $90 million contract with the Heat, marking a significant achievement for an undrafted player. This move from Miami to Detroit not only solidifies the Pistons' shooting game but also emphasizes the franchise's commitment to building a competitive team.

The NBA free agency period has seen significant activity, particularly for the Detroit Pistons, who are looking to build on their impressive last season where they transformed from the NBA's worst team to a playoff contender as the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference. However, the Pistons have faced challenges in the early stages of free agency, losing key players Dennis Schroder to the Sacramento Kings and Tim Hardaway Jr. to the Denver Nuggets.

Despite these setbacks, Detroit has made some noteworthy moves, including re-signing Paul Reed and adding Caris LeVert to their roster. The Pistons have also successfully secured sharpshooter Duncan Robinson from the Miami Heat via a sign-and-trade, sending Simone Fontecchio in return. Robinson's ability to score—averaging 11.0 points per game last season with impressive shooting percentages—should bolster Detroit's depth, especially in three-point shooting, as they aim to capitalize on the weakened competition in the Eastern Conference.

Malik Beasley, a free agent shooting guard, is facing legal challenges as the Hazan Sports Management Group has filed a lawsuit against him, claiming he breached a marketing contract. The lawsuit was initiated just before Beasley participated in the playoffs with the Detroit Pistons against the New York Knicks. The agency is seeking $1 million in damages and an additional $650,000 in advance payments and commissions.

Aside from his legal woes, Beasley is under federal scrutiny for gambling allegations linked to NBA games. His attorney urges caution, suggesting that many clients under investigation never face charges. This comes in the wake of previous NBA cases involving players like Jontay Porter and Terry Rozier, who faced scrutiny for their gambling activities. Beasley, who had a strong season by setting franchise records for three-pointers and helping the Pistons reach the playoffs, hopes to secure a lucrative contract as a free agent this summer.

Malik Beasley, the Detroit Pistons' shooting guard, finds himself under scrutiny as federal authorities investigate allegations of gambling related to NBA games. Ranked as one of the top free agents, Beasley was in talks for a lucrative three-year, $42 million deal with Detroit when the allegations surfaced, leading the team to pivot and sign Duncan Robinson for three years at $48 million instead.

In addition to the gambling investigation, Beasley faces a lawsuit from his former marketing agency, claiming he owes $2.5 million after failing to repay a $650,000 advance. Despite these troubles, Beasley's previous performance, averaging 16.3 points and making 319 three-pointers last season, had positioned him for a significant payday this offseason.

Duncan Robinson has finalized a three-year, $48 million contract with the Detroit Pistons, becoming a pivotal addition to their lineup. The move involves a sign-and-trade deal that sends Simone Fontecchio to Miami. Robinson’s decision to enter free agency after declining a $20 million option underscores his desire for a fresh start. The Pistons aim to replace Malik Beasley, who was sidelined due to a gambling probe, and Robinson's impressive 39.7% career average from beyond the arc makes him a valuable asset as Detroit builds on last season's playoff resurgence.
