The Detroit Pistons have only one major piece of unresolved summer business, with the question of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope's long-term contract back-burnered as the team finalizes previously negotiated items.

The Pistons would like to lock up their shooting guard on an extension of his rookie contract but the two sides probably will not resume discussions until September.

There is no rush because of the late-October deadline to extend Caldwell-Pope's rookie contract but initial discussions between agent Rich Paul and the Pistons did not produce a quick agreement.

The Pistons have signed three external free agents, reached agreement on a yet-to-be-signed contract with their own free agent Andre Drummond, and have finalized one of their rookie deals in recent days.

That leaves the Drummond signing and discussions with Caldwell-Pope, who could become a restricted free agent in summer 2017 if he and the Pistons do not agree on a contract extension.

With the NBA salary cap expected to exceed $107 million next year -- another $13 million leap over this year's bloated cap -- Caldwell-Pope could seek $20 million on the open market. Whether he gets it could rely on whether the defensive whiz shows a marked improvement in his perimeter shooting next season.

Caldwell-Pope seems perfectly willing to gamble on himself. He twice this offseason has told MLive that he is not concerned about the timing of an extension or even whether talks occur. Either way, the final year of his rookie contract in 2016-17 is unaffected, and he cashes in big with the start of his second contract in 2017-18.

It is just the timing of when that deal is struck and whether Caldwell-Pope hits the open market next summer or the Pistons lock him up before the upcoming season.

"With everything going on, draft, free agency, and then everybody needs a break, there's no reason that we need to go on that right now," Stan Van Gundy, Pistons president of basketball operations and head coach, said. "We've got plenty of time. They know that we're interested in trying to do something and they know that we'll talk, and that's just sort of where we left it."
