Cold hard truth about the Pistons' role players

The Detroit Pistons lost Malik Beasley (pending), Dennis Schroder and Tim Hardaway Jr. this offseason and replaced them with Duncan Robinson and Caris LeVert, and we can expect this carousel of role players to keep spinning.

Trajan Langdon has made his strategy with role players clear: He’s only going to sign guys who complement his young core of Cade Cunningham, Ausar Thompson, Jaden Ivey, Jalen Duren and Ron Holland II and he’s not giving anyone long-term deals.

Caris LeVert got a two-year free-agent deal at fair market value, a contract that would be useful to pad out a big trade and one that doesn’t come with any long-term obligations.
