"Free agent C/F Paul Reed – aka BBall Paul – has agreed to a two-year, $11 million deal to return to the Detroit Pistons, sources tell ESPN," wrote Charania. "Reed played a versatile role for Pistons frontcourt, and the team and his agent Ron Shade of Octagon reached the new contract tonight."

His new salary clocks in just over the bi-annual exception, meaning the Pistons will either use cap space or a different exception to sign him.
