Did the Pistons get a major bargain with Simone Fontecchio's contract?
Despite entering the free agency period with enough cap space to ink a couple of All-Stars, the Detroit Pistons knew they couldn’t break the bank to cut corners through their rebuild.
“Getting Simone Fontecchio's combination of spacing, movement and subtly solid defense for two years and $16 million, on the other hand, is highway robbery. … At least 15 other teams should feel bad about themselves for letting an impact player like Fontecchio remain in Detroit for so little guaranteed money.”
It might’ve been a short run for Fontecchio, who ended the year early due to an injury, but he showed enough to keep the Pistons intrigued as he approached the free agent market as a restricted prospect. At the end of the regular season, Fontecchio made it clear the Pistons would get a shot to land his services for next season and beyond. Despite the 28-year-old bringing valuable shooting to the table for a championship hopeful, Detroit is where he wanted to be.
