Cade Cunningham's All-NBA selection boosts his contract to $269 million and changes Detroit Piston's financial outlook
(Image Source - Getty Images) A little over a year after saying, "We're not 2–26 bad," Cade Cunningham has proven the skeptics wrong and changed the course of the Detroit Pistons. The 23-year-old guard making it to the 2025 All-NBA Third Team not only confirms his standout season but also triggers a $45 million bonus in his rookie max extension, bringing the total to $269 million. This solidifies Cunningham as the key player for the franchise, but it also brings new financial challenges for Detroit's management. Cade Cunningham's All-NBA honor triggers $45 million contract boost, reshaping Pistons' financial strategy Cade Cunningham's selection for the All-NBA Third Team, revealed on May 24, 2025, is a major achievement in his rising career. This recognition not only celebrates his performance on the court but also activates the "Rose Rule" in his contract, raising his five-year extension from $224 million to $269 million—a $45 million jump. This change highlights Cunningham's key role in the Pistons' revival and reinforces the team's commitment to building around him. In the 2024–25 season, Cunningham really showed how much he's improved, averaging 26.1 points, 9.1 assists, and 6.1 rebounds each game. He helped the Pistons achieve a 44–38 record and made it to the playoffs for the first time since 2019. His outstanding performance got him All-NBA recognition and he finished seventh in MVP voting, which really shows how much of an impact he's making in the league. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025: Steel Suppliers From Mexico At Lowest Prices (Take A Look) Steel Suppliers | search ads Search Now Cunningham's contract increase is throwing a wrench into Detroit's financial plans. With his higher salary, the team's expected cap space for the next offseason is shrinking, which could hinder their chances of going after top free agents. Still, the Pistons have some room to look into keeping important players like Malik Beasley, Dennis Schröder, Tim Hardaway Jr., and Paul Reed, all while keeping an eye on luxury tax issues. As they look to the future, the Pistons need to think about contract extensions for their promising players, Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren, who are both up for rookie-scale extensions. It's going to be important to juggle these commitments while keeping some financial wiggle room to keep the team's progress going.

His growth perpetuates the team's foundation, though to keep that house sturdy will require thorough financial forethought to build out the entire surrounding walls of a championship team around their star guard. Therein lies both the difficulty and the opportunity for the Pistons as they move through this new era: they will need to find the balance between proper talent retention and financial prudence and how they do this will be an indicator by which the success of the franchise will be measured.

What changes might be coming to the Boston Celtics now that their season is over?
What changes might be coming to the Boston Celtics now that their season is over? What changes might be coming to the Boston Celtics now that their season is over? With their 2024 NBA title defense officially stymied by the New York Knicks in six games in the 2025 NBA Eastern Conference Semifinals second round, attention now rightly turns to how the team will make changes to their historically expensive roster in the shadow of star forward Jayson Tatum's injury. Even before the Duke alum went down with a torn Achilles (and the long rehab that implies), the Celtics were likely making some significant changes to the team. With the second apron and repeater tax wreaking havoc on the financials and team-building capabilities of Boston just as a new owner takes the reigns, a lot of uncertainty surrounds the future of the team. What might happen next, and what we expect from this team next season and beyond? To get an idea of how those changes might take shape and the directions Boston's front office might go, salary cap expert and NBA analyst Yossi Gozlan of the Third Apron sat down with Justin Quinn of the Celtics Wire to talk it all over. Take a look at the clip embedded below to get a first look at how Boston's roster might look at the start of next season, and moving forward.
