No surprises at DetroitOr The Athletic revealed from the opening of the free agency the outlines of the extension of Cade Cunningham, ESPN confirming this expected agreement a week later.
So, the first choice of the 2021 Draft will receive $224 million over five yearsstarting in the summer of 2025. This is the maximum that could be offered to him at the end of his rookie contract and it could go as high as… $269 million depending on various bonuses released.
A logical choice on the part of the Pistonssince the leader must embody the future of the franchise alongside Jalen Duren, Ausar Thompson, Jaden Ivey and now Ron Holland, the last player drafted in Michigan.
Author of a 2023/24 season (his third in the league) at 22.7 points, 7.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds on average, Cade Cunningham must now help his team take a collective step forward, as it continues its exercises at the bottom of the standings. It will be under the orders of JB Bickerstaff that he will try to achieve this, because the former Cleveland coach has just been hired by Detroit to replace Monty Williams.
