Many expected the Detroit Pistons to be quiet early during NBA free agency this month and dig through the bargain bin after the big names fell off the board.
Instead, Detroit filled its top need on the first day, reportedly agreeing to a deal with a player familiar to local basketball fans.
Former Michigan star Glenn Robinson III has agreed to a two-year deal with the Pistons, a league source confirmed to The Detroit News on Sunday.
According to Yahoo Sports’ Shams Charania, who first reported the deal, the value of Robinson’s contract is $8.3 million, and it includes a team option in 2019-20 for the former Indiana Pacers reserve.
