Detroit executive Trajan Langdon publicly expressed his desire to retain forward Tobias Harris, who was the team’s second-leading scorer in the playoffs. The Pistons will also work with Jalen Duren on a new deal amid his restricted free agency. In addition, a Reaves pursuit would require more acrobatics than Simone Biles in the Olympics. Detroit would have to pick up the $4 million team option on Daniss Jenkins, renounce cap holds on Harris, Kevin Huerter, and Malik Beasley, waive Duncan Robinson, likely trade Caris LeVert and one of Paul Reed or Marcus Sasser, and decline Tolu Smith’s $2.4 million team option to be able to offer Reaves a max contract, as outlined by salary cap expert Yossi Gozlan.

Who is the most memorable/ favorite interview you had with? Jeff Zillgitt: I've always enjoyed my interactions with Dwyane Wade. He has a great ability to provide a thoughtful/insightful answer. I wrote a story on Kyle Korver one year and he was just fantastic describing the checklist he goes through to make sure he's shooting the way he wants to shoot. Just so detailed. I really appreciate the players who willing to open about their lives and what they do on the court. A recent story I wrote about Daniss Jenkins and Marcus Sasser of the Pistons falls into that category. Jenkins was just a delight to speak with. Same goes with a recent story on Nickeil Alexander-Walker story. He was so thoughtful with his answers and took his time. -- Jeff Zillgitt

Isaiah Stewart, who could not hide his grin in the locker room after the win, gave Bickerstaff his credit for “being a dog, too.” “Having him, with his system, it fits Detroit basketball perfectly,” Stewart said.
