The Detroit Pistons signed forward Tyler cook to a multi-year contract, the team announced, after the athletic big man shined during recent auditions on a pair of 10-day deals. The deal is a guarantee for the rest of this season with a team-option for next season, according to Rod Beard of the Detroit News.
The Pistons had an open roster spot following the release of forward Blake Griffin, and it made sense the team would audition players with an eye toward signing someone to a guaranteed deal with a bit of team control.
I thought they’d cycle through a few players before they landed on someone, but Cook received the team’s first 10-day deal, then a second, and now he’s secured a bit of guaranteed money.
