‘Detroit ain’t’… Dennis Schroder drops verdict on future with Detroit Pistons ahead of free agency

Dennis Schroder says he wants to stay in Detroit, with the Pistons ‘ain’t waiting’ for him

Schroder played 28 games for the Pistons during the 2024-25 NBA season, averaging 10.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game.

Those are decent numbers, but are they good enough for the Pistons to bring back the veteran guard? Well, as things stand right now, the Pistons haven’t contacted Schroder about a potential contract extension.

“I want to stay in Detroit for sure, but Detroit ain’t waiting for me, I can tell you that much,” Schroder said on a live stream, h/t NBA Central.

Schroder may not have directly stated it, but he did imply that it’s unlikely the Pistons will bring him back following a short but solid stint.

Where could Dennis Schroder sign next?

With 12 years of experience to his name, Schroder is a seasoned veteran who can still fill a starting point guard role on a team.

Sure, his Warriors’ stint was disappointing, but as Steve Nash pointed out, Schroder thrived on the Pistons. Thus, increasing his value in the eyes of many teams around the league.

Among those teams, the Memphis Grizzlies could be a good fit for Schroder. He could be an excellent addition to the team, especially since the Grizzlies have traded Desmond Bane.
