The Detroit Pistons face crucial offseason decisions following their playoff exit against the New York Knicks. With the second-lowest payroll in the league, they have approximately $19 million in cap space, plus exceptions to explore free agency. Key players entering free agency include Malik Beasley, who set a franchise record for 3-pointers, and Tim Hardaway Jr., a reliable scorer. Beasley’s breakout season makes him a sought-after free agent, while Hardaway's age could position him as a cost-effective option. Dennis Schröder proved valuable in the playoffs, making his return essential for stability.

Christian Romo provides a deep dive into the Pistons' free agents, highlighting the importance of retaining role players like Beasley, Hardaway, and others. The team must navigate a competitive market while keeping an eye on their young core's future contracts.
