Steve Blake: Rights renounced by Detroit

The Pistons recently renounced their rights to Blake, MLive.com's David Mayo reports.

The move simply helped facilitate the team's signing of center Boban Marjanovic, and doesn't necessarily indicate the Pistons aren't interested in bringing Blake back. After serving as the primary backup to Reggie Jackson at point guard last season, Blake could be re-signed if he's willing to accept a third-string role. The Pistons signed Ish Smith to a three-year, $18 million deal earlier this offseason, and he'll now be in line to serve as Jackson's top understudy.
