The Detroit Pistons have prioritized continuity this offseason, re-signing Paul Reed to a two-year deal worth $11 million. This contract, confirmed by the Free Press, includes a non-guaranteed second year, though the specifics of the signing mechanism remain unclear. Last season, Reed contributed 4.1 points and 2.7 rebounds per game after joining the Pistons from the Philadelphia 76ers, serving as a reliable backup big man, particularly during Isaiah Stewart's playoff absence.

While the Pistons initially sought to retain veterans such as Malik Beasley and Tim Hardaway Jr., the situation surrounding Beasley, who is reportedly under investigation for gambling, could prompt the team to reconsider their plans. Despite these uncertainties, Reed’s return is not expected to significantly alter the Pistons' overarching strategy as they navigate the offseason.
