The Detroit Pistons have agreed to a two-year, $16 million deal with restricted free agent Simone Fontecchio. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski first reported news of the new deal.
Fontecchio was an excellent addition at the trade deadline last season for the Detroit Pistons. He averaged 15.4 points and shot 42% from deep on more than six attempts per game as a member of the Pistons. The 6-foot-8 forward from Italy has played just two seasons in the States, but he’s already 28 years old.
The $8 million annual salary is right where I expected Fontecchio’s number to be, but I’m surprised that president Trajan Langdon only signed him for two years.
