They have almost no cap space this year. The Nets are pretty much the only team that has cap space. Every other team will have the MLE. A few teams like Detroit can get a few million extra without ripping apart their roster. But even $20 million in cap space isn't much. That barely gets you a starter. Next year things open up a bit more with Harris coming off the books. That is a good thing since that free agent class is supposed to be fairly good. But right now we know the highest the cap can be in the summer of 2026 is $170 million. The Pistons will be at $134 million which means they will have $36 million in cap space, which is not bad at all, but they only have 6 players signed. So they have $36 million to sign what? 7 or 8 guys. Oh, that does not include Beasley. So if his deal this summer is for 2+ years, put them at $148 million with 7 guys signed, meaning they have $22 million in cap space to sign another 7ish guys. They are not an apron team and that is great. That gives them the full complement of available moves. But they do not have much money to bring in a lot of talent via free agency. Not a terrible spot to be in, since most big names rarely change teams via free agency anyway.

A few teams have beat all 3. Atlanta Orlando Indiana Houston OKC which makes sense Philly has beat Cleveland and Boston. 0-3 against NYK, but they play them once more. As far as adding guys this summer. They have no cap space to do it. They will basically have the MLE ($14 million) and most of that will be spent on keeping Beasley. No 1st round draft pick, either. Technically, they can get to $20 million in space. But if Cade makes all NBA, and he should, they owe him more money on his extension. So instead of it being a $38 million cap hit next year, it will be around $46 million. That eats up the extra $6 million. So figure on $14 million without any trades.

You have really given me a lot to think about.

Thought I would get away from the NBA tonight and my frustrations with how bad the end of the season is. Decided to check out the two college games. Holy ****. It amazes me they are even playing the same sport.

Such an odd phenomenon that only attractive women want to be sideline reporters.

And recently lose to Washington and Dallas with Cade. It's why I never bet the regular season back when I gambled.

I would not be real happy to play the Clippers in the 1st round.

Hey they pulled it out? Nice win without Cade.

It's the MS. Sorry.

State matter. Bondi has no say.

Does Michigan have a shot against Auburn? Have Michigan and MSU ever met in the tournament?

That Trevor Milton pardon today is 100% something to complain about it with this admin. That guy is a straight-up thief and should not be walking around in public.

Nice to see some things never change. Jase Richardson is a top 10 NBA pick this summer and Izzo has no clue how to use him. 8 shots with 2 minutes left in the game is a joke.

I mentioned C'était un rendez-vous. They used a Mercedes as the car and dubbed in a Ferrari 275GTB. Technically, you never see the car. They stole the French Connection thing where they mounted the camera on the front bumper.

My girlfriend assures me size does not matter. I can't think of one meme coin that has rug pulled and been prosecuted. The Paul brothers have done it multiple times and if we dig deep enough, they are probably behind her meme coin since she is on their podcast network. I agree, she probably didn't have a clue what was going on.

No admin has ever prosecuted any of these people. Not a single one.

Hmmm. OK.

That was nice

Achilles tendinopathy sounds way cooler.

Honestly, the 4/$80 million extension they gave Caruso is more troubling than the trade.

Wow. That is a pretty shocking pardon. Ah, his lawyer is a guy named Brad Bondi. Trump Pardons Nikola Founder Trevor Milton

Good lord. He also walked back his comments about Lebron not attending Kobe's memorial. Lebron did attend it.

I know we probably are not doing much in the playoffs. But if we finally get there only to have Cade limping around. Ugh, that will be hard to take.
