Cade Cunningham, the strong frontrunner to be the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft, is in Detroit and has met with the Pistons, tweets James Edwards III of The Athletic.
Word of Cunningham’s meeting with the team comes as no surprise — as soon as the Pistons won the draft lottery last month, word broke that they’d be the only team the Oklahoma State guard visited. The only way I could see that plan changing is if another team trades for the No. 1 pick a few days before the draft and wants to bring in the 19-year-old.
General manager Troy Weaver has shown a willingness to listen to offers for that first overall pick, with the Rockets among the teams showing the most interest, but the likeliest scenario is that Detroit keeps the selection and drafts Cunningham.
As a freshman in 2020/21, Cunningham averaged 20.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 1.6 steals per game in 27 contests (35.4 MPG) for the Cowboys, registering a shooting line of .438/.400/.846. A solid shooter, passer, and play-maker, Cunningham has great size (6’8″) for a point guard and has the ability to guard multiple positions on defense.
If the Pistons draft Cunningham, they’ll add him to a promising core that also includes Jerami Grant, Saddiq Bey, Isaiah Stewart, and last year’s lottery pick Killian Hayes.
Whoever wants to trade for top 2 picks, they need to make overpaid offer
5 and 8 for 2 is underpaid
Ja Morant for 1 is overpaid
5 and 8 for 2 would be a quick laugh from Rafael Stone then him hanging up the phone.
Stone would have to check with Fertita first – this trade could potentially save some money on salaries)))
How exactly would it save money on salaries? The #2 pick has a $9M cap hold. Picks #5 and #8 have cap holds totaling $11.6M between them. Stone knows his math.
But 5 × 15 = 23 ÷ 56 =4 /9 ÷12 with a remainder of 10 in an odd year…it sounds like Vince Carter is your best pick for the Flint Tropics.

The only Weezer song that should be played is their fantastic cover of Africa.
