Pistons’ post-lockout questions

facebooktwitterreddit

Zach Lowe of The Point Forward identified the key questions for each team following the lockout. On the Pistons:

"Is Rodney Stuckey, a restricted free agent, worth big money? And will Detroit’s new ownership, led by private-equity giant Tom Gores, be willing to eat salary tied to either Richard Hamilton or Charlie Villanueva via amnesty? If the answer to that second question is “yes,” they can re-sign Stuckey to a fair-value deal and still be players in free agency in each of the next two summers."

I also think Ben Gordon and Jason Maxiell will play in the Pistons’ amnesty discussion, which as Lowe says, will go a long way in determining how much Detroit offers Stuckey.
