Pistons Still Haven't Given Cade Cunningham What He Needs

News ArticlePublishedAug 06, 2026 at 12:20 PM EDTThe Detroit Pistons finally looked like they were headed in the right direction last season, and they were and still are, but the offseason brought up a familiar question: is the team doing enough to make Cade Cunningham's life easier?Cunningham showed why Detroit believes he can be the face of the franchise, but the playoff loss exposed some of the same issues that have followed this team for a while. When the pressure went up, the Pistons needed more scoring, more shot creation and more players who could take some of the attention away from their young star.Instead, they watched Tobias Harris leave in free agency. Harris was Detroit's No. 2 scorer during the playoffs, and losing that production leaves a noticeable hole.Sports news: Maveric
