Derrick Walton Jr, a Detroit native, signed his first 10-day contract with the Pistons on Feb. 20 and his time is almost up. A contract of that type is a good way to get a look at a player that intrigues you.
But a second one means that you are serious about signing that player for the remainder of the season. In other words, there’s no sense in signing a guy to a second 10-day contract unless you’re thinking of keeping him.
At this point, the Pistons have to ask themselves “what do we want out of a 10-day contract”?
