Should the Pistons Sign DeMar DeRozan? + Summer League Player Grades

On this episode of 3 Championship Drive, Lance Caporossi hands out his Summer League report cards, grading five players from the Detroit Pistons' Summer League roster. Who exceeded expectations, who has work to do, and which young players could earn a larger role heading into the 2026-27 NBA season?

Lance also tackles one of the biggest questions facing the Pistons' front office: Should Detroit prioritize financial and asset flexibility, or is it time to push more chips to the center of the table? He breaks down the pros and cons of staying patient versus making an aggressive move to accelerate the team's championship window.

Finally, Lance discusses whether the Pistons should pursue DeMar DeRozan. Does the veteran scorer fit alongside Cade Cunningham and Detroit's young core, or would signing DeRozan ultimately limit the franchise's long-term flexibility?
