The Pistons have reached an agreement with free agent Joel Anthony on a deal that will keep the center in Detroit, Vince Ellis of The Detroit Free Press reports (Twitter links). The pact is for two-years, $5MM, with the second season being non-guaranteed, Ellis relays. It’s certainly not a shock to see Anthony returning to Detroit. The Pistons were reportedly looking to bring back the unrestricted free agent, with team executive/coach Stan Van Gundy viewing the 32-year-old as an elder statesman who can be valuable in tutoring younger players. “Obviously we can’t negotiate with him yet, we can’t talk money,” Van Gundy had told Ellis prior to the free agent signing period commencing. “I talked to him [Friday]. Again, we’ve told him consistently we would like to have him back.” - See more at: http://www.hoopsrumors.com/2015/07/pistons-to-re-sign-joel-anthony.html
