After extending their figurehead, Cade Cunningham, and attracting a few veterans during their offseason, the Pistons are now looking at their young. They have just activated the fourth year of the contracts Jaden Ivey And Jalen Duren.
Brought to form the “backcourt” of the team's future with Cunningham, the first will receive more than 10 million dollars during the 2025/26 season, while the second, future pillar of JB Bickerstaff's defense, will receive about $6.5 million that year.
Are also affected by these extensions Ausar Thompson And Marcus Sasserwhose third year of rookie contract is activated. The salary of Thompson, who has already shown his defensive qualities, will rise to approximately $8.8 million. The pocket point guard will be under $3 million.
Note that the Pistons also have a fifth player under an option, Wendell Moore Jr, acquired during a minor summer trade with the Wolves. On paper, Detroit still has 10 days to exercise its option, but teams usually announce those decisions at the same time.
