Reports indicate that “BBall” Paul is returning to Detroit after signing a two-year, $11 million contract, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. It’s a good deal that keeps the 26-year-old forward with the Pistons for another two seasons.

The Detroit Pistons have made their first move in free agency, re-signing veteran big Paul Reed on a two-year contract, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. Reed, 26, joined the Pistons last offseason, claiming him off waivers from the Philadelphia 76ers, who draft Reed in the second round of the 2020 NBA Draft.
