Pistons extend Kevin Huerter's contract amid offseason scrutiny

Summary

The Detroit Pistons re-signed guard Kevin Huerter to a three-year deal worth $27 million. This decision has drawn criticism as Huerter struggled during his first season with the Pistons, shooting just 29% from three-point range. His acquisition, aimed at boosting the team's shooting around Cade Cunningham, has not yielded the desired results. The Pistons have also lost key players Tobias Harris and Isaiah Stewart this offseason, raising questions about their roster improvements compared to rivals in the Eastern Conference.
