If they give Ausar and Duren a combined $60-$70 million a year, you're not getting a second scorer. Your second scorer has to be one of them. The summer of 2027 the Pistons have 4 guys under contract currently for a cap hit of $98 million. If you give Duren $30 million a year and Ausar $35 million per, that is 6 guys committed at $165 million a year, which is right where the cap will be. Your 7th guy can't be a $40 million a year second option with that roster. You are right they will need those future assets. But it will be to add cheap talent to fill out the bench because they are going to be struggling with the cap.

#21 is a throwaway pick, so I wouldn't get mad if they picked him there. But I'm not trading away a future first to move up and pick Yaxel.

I would be pissed if I'm SA. Those are two prime games to rest Victor that are now taken away from them.

I would almost guarantee it wasn't Gores. Gores is a glory hound. He is the guy with PE on the LCA floor even though 99.99% of the people watching can't invest in their funds. He is the guy with his massive picture mixed in with the players in the tunnel. Extending a coach who has three years left on his deal is boring. It isn't sexy. Gores wouldn't care about it.

Why the hell would you send the Pelicans?

JB should be taking notes.

The Knicks went after Harden more in the 4th quarter than Detroit did the entire series.
-
In the 4th quarter and OT combined, Mitchell played a total of 15 minutes. He scored 3 points.

hahahahahahaha

What a choke job by the Cavs. Up 22 with 7 1/2 minutes left, and we're going to OT.

Masai rolling up his sleeves and going to work. Heads up Kyrie. Try not to fall off the edge of the earth while traveling to the new team you're about to be traded to.

Shot chart for the playoffs.

Teams employing reporters is still weird to me. It was around 70 people. This new owner is supposedly trying to hire a coach for $1 million a year.

Comparing Langdon to Weaver strengthens my claim about incompetence. I'm not saying Gores doesn't intervene. I'm saying it's on Langdon to set him straight when he does. The guy that has been around basketball his entire life. The guy who has been in a front office role for over a decade. Like he did when he convinced Gores to fire Monte.
-
It's on Langdon. If Gores is interfering then it's part of Landon's job to set him straight. I say this as a business owner who is not involved in day to day operations, and I'm a little dumb. So me and Gores have some things in common.

First year salary for #20 is $3 million. Teams can, and almost always do, go over that by 20%. So #20 pays $3.6 million in the first year.
-
I have a hard time believing the Ku story about them sitting JB down after game 1. You don't do that then turn around and extend him. If it is true, its some serious incompetence from management.
-
The Spurs starting 5 last night made $65 million combined this season. That is about 42% of the salary cap.
-
Duren has to go if Ku is correct and Detroit plans to go big on Ausar. You can't have two starters that combined to make 22 field goals from >16 feet last season. That is regular season, not the playoffs. 22 combined field goals. You can't wrap up $50-$60 million a year in two guys who can't shoot from the perimeter. Not in today's game. I loved Detroit beating teams 82-78 back in the day, but that isn't reality today. You need to be somewhat competent on offense to win today. If you swap Duren for a 20 PPG scorer who shoots >38% from three on decent volume, the Pistons are playing the Knicks tonight. I'm not saying they shouldn't sign Duren, they still should. I would try to work a sign and trade first, obviously. But if that isn't possible then sign him to a reasonable deal and attempt to trade him when he becomes trade eligible in December.
