Pistons: 3 reasons to go for one of the big NBA free agents right now
Detroit Pistons: Next offseason the Pistons could become contenders
Even if the Detroit Pistons were to ink one of the top NBA free agents, they aren’t likely to be a contender this season, as they are still too young and will be working out a lot of kinks.
But next offseason Blake Griffin’s contract comes off the books, which means the Detroit Pistons will have another max slot to play around with and potentially add another big time guy to a team that looks ready to win.

You could argue that next offseason is the one the Pistons should really go for it, but if they could get a guy this year, then they look even more attractive to potential free agents next offseason.
If the Pistons have a surprise year and sniff the play-in or even make it, then they will look pretty appealing to potential free agents, as they will have a future superstar in Cade Cunningham to go with really talented role players like Jerami Grant, Saddiq Bey, Isaiah Stewart and whatever free agent they sign.
This is a team that can compete in the Eastern Conference with the right guys, so I think there is an advantage to going for one of them now and another next offseason.
One thing is certain, this is an exciting time to be a fan of the Detroit Pistons.
