## Resource

Cade Cunningham’s offseason recruiting blitz aimed at landing stars like Durant, Irving, and Kawhi fell flat, leaving the Pistons stuck between building for the future and making a splash now. While they focused on developing young talents like Jalen Duren and Ausar Thompson—Duren’s All-NBA third-team honors hinting at a max contract around $287M—the team balked at the price tag after his playoff underperformance. With no big-name signings and internal growth falling short of expectations, Detroit’s window to accelerate its rise may have just slipped through their fingers.
