The Pistons reshaped their roster this week by moving their longest-tenured player, center Isaiah Stewart, to the Memphis Grizzlies for three second-round picks. They also traded up in the draft to select Stanford guard Ebuka Okorie and acquired shooting wing Isaiah Joe from the Oklahoma City Thunder for two additional second-round selections. The club re-signed Kevin Huerter, Javonte Green and locked down John Collins on a new contract, while 33-year-old forward Tobias Harris left for the San Antonio Spurs on a two-year, $31 million deal.

Kevin Huerter secured a three-year, $27 million contract that includes a team option for the final season, preserving flexibility for Detroit. Javonte Green returned on a one-year, $3.9 million deal, a low-risk move that maintains cap space. John Collins agreed to a three-year, $51 million pact; only the first year is fully guaranteed at $17 million, a structure that could be used in a sign-and-trade with the Clippers if the market shifts.

Okorie is a smaller guard who excelled as one of college basketball’s top isolation scorers and ball-handlers, maintaining a low turnover rate while handling a heavy workload as a freshman. Isaiah Joe shot better than 40 percent from three-point range for the fourth consecutive season and is coming off the best year of his career. Collins, meanwhile, posted a career-high 41 percent shooting season and offers positional versatility at the four or the five, providing a vertical lob threat that complements Detroit’s offensive scheme.

By converting Stewart, a former lottery pick who never reached his ceiling, into three second-round assets, Detroit joins other small-market teams that mine future picks to stay competitive while preserving cap flexibility. Adding Joe and re-signing Huerter and Green keeps the core intact without committing to the multi-year, max-level deals that have hampered other franchises. The five second-round picks acquired in the Stewart and Joe transactions give the Pistons additional draft capital to develop talent and maintain depth.

The new roster gives Detroit a blend of shooting, ball-handling and interior versatility that was missing after the Stewart era. If Okorie adapts his low-turnover, high-efficiency game to the NBA, and Joe maintains his three-point consistency, the Pistons could see a measurable improvement in offensive spacing and floor balance. The upcoming summer league will be the first test of how these pieces mesh, and the additional draft assets provide a cushion for further adjustments as the team looks to compete in a conference where depth and three-point shooting are increasingly decisive.
