The Pistons made an early splash in free agency, but not the one that many expected.
The team agreed to terms with big man Mason Plumlee, a league source confirmed to The Detroit News on Friday night, in the opening hour of free agency. The agreement is for three years and $25 million.
The Pistons also agreed to a two-year deal with center Jahlil Okafor for the veteran minimum.
It’s a surprising development because the Pistons’ top priority in free agency appeared to be re-signing Christian Wood, who is an unrestricted free agent. A league source indicated that the signings don’t preclude the Pistons from still pursuing Wood, but they would need to make some other deals to clear cap space to make that happen.
