If you look at the Detroit Pistons’ salary sheet for 2018-19, there is some cause for concern.
The fourth and fifth highest-paid players are Jon Leuer and Langston Galloway. Leuer, it should be noted, barely played last season and is currently recovering from another injury suffered in the off-season.
Blake Griffin is being paid a large fortune despite not playing a full 82-game season since his rookie year.
Reggie Jackson is going to get just over $17 million (about Galloway and Leuer’s salaries, combined) for his services this season, and might not ever be the same player he was when he came to the team.
