The Detroit Pistons traded for Marvin Bagley Jr. at the deadline and sources tell James L. Edwards III that they would like to re-sign him to a long-term contract this offseason in restricted free agency.

The Pistons would ideally like to sign Bagley to a three-year deal.

Bagley, however, could prefer a shorter term deal to get back on the market earlier if he finally fulfills the talent that saw him selected No. 2 in 2018.

The Pistons appeared to value Bagley more than any other team during the efforts of the Sacremanteo Kings to trade him.

The Portland Trail Blazers kicked off a full-scale retooling of their roster at the trade deadline. Damian Lillard remains in Portland, but several other Blazers were sent to new homes. This summer, the team intends to rebuild on the fly and get back into the playoffs next season.

One player who could aid in that postseason chase is Jerami Grant of the Detroit Pistons. Portland tried to trade for Grant at the trade deadline, but Detroit wanted more than Josh Hart and draft considerations for Grant at the time. It's expected that that the Trail Blazers and Pistons will re-engage on trade talks this offseason.

Those discussions could start as soon as completing a trade around the 2022 NBA Draft. Portland holds a traded player exception that Grant's current salary would fit into. However, once the league flips to 2022-23, Grant's salary becomes too large to fit inside that TPE, which was created in the C.J. McCollum trade.

The Detroit Pistons continued some end-of-year roster shuffling, even after signing Carsen Edwards to a two-year deal. Detroit waived Chris Smith from his Two-Way contract and replaced him with Braxton Key. Key had recently completed a 10-day contract with the Pistons.

Smith did not appear in a game with Detroit during his rookie season. He spent the year rehabbing from a torn ACL suffered while in his senior year at UCLA. Smith then suffered a second ACL surgery during the rehab process, which would keep him out into next season, as well.

Key appeared in five games with Detroit while on his 10-day deal. In 20.4 minutes per game, Key averaged 6.8 points, 5.2 rebounds and 1.6 blocks.

The Detroit Pistons plan to sign guard Carsen Edwards to a two-year contract. Edwards will sign a prorated veteran minimum contract with Detroit for the remainder of this season, with an additional likely non-guaranteed season tacked on for 2022-23.

Edwards was waived by the Memphis Grizzlies this offseason after a trade sent him there from the Boston Celtics. Edwards then spent the season with the Salt Lake City Stars of the G League.

The 5'11'' guard was one of the G League's top scorers this season. Edwards averaged 26.7 points and 4.2 assists in 31 G League games.

In 68 games with the Boston Celtics over the first two seasons of his career, Edwards averaged 3.6 points in 9.2 minutes per game.
