Here’s the Detroit News with an update on a key Piston that will be around for another season but is likely to hit the road after that:

Greg Monroe has officially agreed to a one-year qualifying offer with the Pistons, according to a source.
Monroe, a restricted free agent, will be paid $5.5 million this season after not being able to agree to terms with the Pistons on a long-term contract. He’ll become an unrestricted free agent next July, free to sign with any team.
Pistons president and coach Stan Van Gundy has said Monroe was his first priority since taking over basketball operations this spring, and all indications were the Pistons were prepared to match any prospective offer sheet a suitor would’ve signed Monroe to, even a max contract.
