NextImg:Cade Cunningham agrees to $224 contract extension as Pistons’ wild offseason continues

Pistons guard Cade Cunningham agreed to a five-year, $224 million maximum rookie contract extension on Monday, his agents told ESPN.

The new deal could be worth up to $269 million if Cunningham — the No. 1 overall pick by Detroit in the 2021 NBA Draft — earns All-NBA honors next season.

Pistons president of basketball operations Trajan Langdon reportedly made the 22-year-old Cunningham’s extension a priority after he took over for Troy Weaver in June.

Cunningham’s deal was reached after the Pistons announced J.B. Bickerstaff as their new head coach on July 3.

Bickerstaff, who was fired after the Cavaliers’ East semifinals loss, replaced Monty Williams.

Williams was shockingly let go despite having more than $65 million left on his contract.

Cunningham is coming off a strong 2023 campaign, during which he averaged 22.7 points, 7.5 assists and shot 86.9 percent at the free-throw line.

The 6-foot-6 Oklahoma State product missed most of the 2022 season after undergoing surgery that December on his left shin.
