Quincy Miller Signing Two-Year Deal With Pistons

Mar 12, 2015 2:01 AM

Quincy Miller will sign a two-year contract with the Detroit Pistons on Thursday morning, including a partial guarantee on nearly $1 million for next season, a league source told RealGM.

Miller will sign a prorated deal for the veteran’s minimum this season, with the same terms for 2015-16. Stan Van Gundy told reporters on Wednesday night that the Pistons planned to keep Miller for the rest of the season and into the summer.

Miller joined the Pistons on Feb. 21 under the first of two 10-day contracts. The 6-foot-10 forward has yet to appear in a game for Detroit, but has played two contests for Grand Rapids, the Pistons’ NBA D-League affiliate.

Miller earned a call up with the Sacramento Kings this season after entering the D-League through the Reno Bighorns. He spent the past two seasons with the Denver Nuggets, who drafted Miller in the second round of the 2012 draft.

Greg Monroe 'Absolutely' Remains Open To Re-Signing With Pistons

Mar 2, 2015 10:40 AM

Greg Monroe "absolutely" remains open to re-signing with the Detroit Pistons in the offseason, according to his agent David Falk.

Factors other than money will weigh in Monroe's decision.

"He's going to get the same money wherever he goes," Falk said to two reporters courtside at the Verizon Center. "I told him that two years ago. All stars get the same amount. It just depends on what the intangibles are.

"Where do you want to move? Who do you want to play with? Who do you want to play with? Is there a coach you want to play for? Do you want to be the star on a rebuilding team or do you want to be a complementary player on a championship team? Those are all intangibles."

The Pistons and Monroe were unable to agree upon a long-term deal last offseason as a restricted free agent. Monroe signed a one-year, $5.4 million qualifying offer.

The Pistons can offer a five-year deal with 7.5 percent raises, while others can only offer four years and 4.5 percent raises.

Falk complimented Stan Van Gundy, who is in his first season as president-coach of the Pistons.

"I think Stan has said some great thing publicly," Falk said. "Greg has said some great things about Stan publicly and Stan's a great coach."
