Detroit is eager to utilize center Nerlens Noel and guards Alec Burks next season. GM Troy Weaver had Noel on his team in Oklahoma City, and Burks is an ideal veteran to mentor the Pistons talented young group of guards.

Pistons fans loyalty is on a different level

Adding the Pistons to my League Pass teams to watch for next season

After acquiring Nerlens Noel and Alec Burks, plus extending the qualifying offer on Marvin Bagley III, the Pistons are now operating over the cap. Adding in the draft night addition of Jalen Duren, Detroit should officially be ruled out for a potential pursuit of Deandre Ayton.

"Assuming [Brunson] does decide to come here, this is an all-in move for Leon Rose and his group" @IanBegley on what the Knicks' trade of Alec Burks and Nerlens Noel to the Pistons means: https://t.co/hMmliHV0Uv

Pistons are versatile

O Detroit Pistons agora também adquire os veteranos que podem ajudar a equipe. Detroit pode manipular esse CAP e mandar embora um dos dois ou deixar eles na equipe para ajudar na busca do Play-in. Lembrando que o Kemba Walker NÃO fica em Detroit.

Again, a rebuilding team demonstrates the value of cap space. It’s not tied entirely to the ability to sign FA. The Pistons extracted Jalen Duren and six second-round picks from Knicks solely by being able to absorb (expiring!!) contracts NY was desperate to dump.

Great point by Collin, the Pistons' max cap space potential drops to $21.3 million. Looks like the Spurs are now the lone team that can offer Ayton a max offer sheet if they want to try to sign him. https://t.co/KbhfgfAIQX

I've long been under the impression that 2023-24 is the year the Pistons want to turn a corner. The trade with the Knicks stamps that. You may not like it, but the Pistons have a plan. And it's been executed very well, so far... My column (sub for $1) https://t.co/0SspFwHJls

Over the last few weeks my favorite thing about Pistons fans convincing themselves Miles Bridges was coming to Detroit is that they forgot who their Daddy was. We whooped their ass for 4 years straight, 15 times in a row and they had the audacity to think he’d wanna go there. https://t.co/8sbf7MR8Xa

The Knicks are trading Nerlens Noel and Alec Burks to the Pistons, per @wojespn. New York also sends 2 future second-round picks and cash.

Lakers could very very easily make that Pistons/Knicks trade into a 3 teamer…..

Can’t wait to watch jaden ivey win ROTY 🔥 #pistons https://t.co/smAJdVVLgz
