With the offseason approaching, four Detroit Pistons veterans – Malik Beasley, Tim Hardaway Jr., Paul Reed, and Dennis Schröder – will become unrestricted free agents.
Their futures with the franchise are uncertain, but Pistons president Trajan Langdon remains open to the possibilities, emphasizing that it takes mutual agreement for these players to return.
Langdon acknowledged the possibility that some of these veterans may not wish to return or could receive more lucrative offers elsewhere.
He emphasized their importance to the team this season and the positive impact they had on the roster, but acknowledged the complexities of free agency.
“Maybe some of them don’t want to come back, maybe some of them get bigger offers elsewhere,” Langdon said. “It takes two to tango with our free agents and they have decisions to make. All of them were great for us. I think they’d all be great for us coming back here in terms of what they did for us and how they fit the roster that we have. I can’t give you an answer of which ones because again, it takes both sides to come together on a deal.”
As the Pistons head into a summer full of possibilities, Langdon’s flexible approach leaves the door open for various outcomes regarding these key players’ future in Detroit.
