NBA free agency starts tonight at 6PM ET and there will likely be a tornado of moves, some of which could include the Detroit Pistons.
As one of the teams with cap space, Detroit can get involved in free agency in myriad ways that don’t necessarily involve cutting a huge check for a starting-level player.
It may be more prudent to use the cap space to facilitate a trade, to take on a contract in exchange fo assets or try to move one of the bigs to better balance the roster.

Of course many fans are hoping the Pistons will land a player like Cam Johnson or Jerami Grant, which would take most if not all of their available cap space.
