Salary Cap Breakdown – Detroit Pistons
Last season, Tobias Harris was the Detroit Pistons highest paid player. But next season, Cade Cunningham’s max rookie extension kicks in. Despite that though, the Pistons still had plenty of space available on their salary cap at the start of free agency, some of which they were preparing to offer to Malik Beasley. Unfortunately for him and the Pistons, that’s probably no longer on the table. So instead, they pivoted to another sharpshooter, Duncan Robinson. It was actually a sign-in trade with the Heat in which they sent Simony Fonteo to Miami in exchange for Robinson on a new three-year deal. It’s been reported as 3 years 48 million, but that’s actually misleading because only the first year is fully guaranteed. Of the remaining 31 million for years 2 and three, only 2 million is guaranteed. Anyways, the Pistons also picked up free agent Carris Levert on a 2-year $28 million deal. And then they brought back Paul Reed on a new deal as well. And then finally at the draft with the 37th pick they selected Chaz Lane Lenir who it’s worth pointing out is already two years older than Jaylen Duran. So despite the new additions and new contracts on the books for Detroit they’re still well below the luxury tax with numerous players still on rookie scale contracts.
Here’s a preview of the Detroit Pistons salary cap for next season and a recap of their offseason

I wanna say they are under the floor because he missed Tim Hardaway which is 16m and maybe Dennis Shroder which is 13m

Pistons Last Season was not below Salary Floor. They paid 140.5m(which was 30th place last season) which barely exceeds salary floor. He missed Tim Hardaway Jr. for 16m and Dennis Schroder for 13m. They were both last season of their contract and Pistons didn't re-sign.
Thank you!
Pistons are having a massive glow up without completely changing their squad. From being arguably the worst team in sports history to the 6th seed and giving the Knicks a run for their money, and they have an even more promising season ahead of them. They could reach #4
What’s the penalty for being over the cap but under the luxury tax?
