So we lose this years pick if its 14-30. That means they could make the play-in and still keep their pick. Play-in teams that lose in the play-in round end up picking 11-14. I think 13 has a 0.8% chance at the first pick. Fire up the Jim Carrey meme.

I would guess that is exactly why they made that trade. I think any Butler trade involving Detroit will need a 4th team. Butler and Beal are close enough to trade by themselves. But Miami doesn't want Beal, so you need the third team. Problem is, Beal has a no trade clause and he isn't waiving it to come to Detroit. Bring in the 4th team, say Milwaukee. Phoenix can't take the Bucks players because they are taking Butler. Miami doesn't want a bunch of extra salary because they are looking for the quick rebuild around Herro and Bam. You have to find somewhere for the Bucks salary to land. Detroit does it for a 1st rounder. Or some other team.

This might be a season killer. Gafford is an excellent backup to have, but he doesn't make the defense go like Lively does.

I bet you are disappointed I didn't fall for it.

I forgot he has a no trade clause.

They could still make a run at him this summer if they wanted.

Clio Road location in the 90's. Drive thru all hung over and get two cheeseburgers two fries and a pop for $3. Not sure why I'm excited about this. The one in Sturgis is pretty close and I never go. Throwback burger chain Hot 'n Now is being resuscitated, but will Metro Detroit get one?

What type of draft capital are you asking for to take on Beal?

He would land you a 1st round pick at the trade deadline. Pretty rare when a guy shoots that well on that small of a contract. Even the apron teams can trade for him. Increases his value quite a bit in a trade.

OK, props for the classy look. Poor choice of cars though. But I'm probably in the extreme minority on that one.

The teams you list are mostly finished teams. They don't need cap space to add talent like Detroit does. You don't mind being over the cap when you have one of the best rosters in the league. It's really about the aprons though. You mentioned OKC next year. They are over the cap but will still be like $20 million below the first apron and $31.5 million below the second. There will be a time they will probably have to start moving on from some guys. That is where the draft picks come into play and are so important now. You move on from higher priced bench guys like Joe or even a starter like Dort. Then try to replace them with draft picks making 25% of what those guys make.

Its always 51% of last seasons basketball related income. Thats why there is always that moratorium from July 1st to July 7th. They are getting all the numbers from this season to set the new cap. The next few years will be lower than 51% though. The new TV deal brought massive amounts of money into the league and they didn't want the cap jumping like $40M in a single season. So they capped all gains at 10% of the previous seasons cap.

Locked on Pistons had Keith Smith on as a guest. He is a cap guru on Twitter. Here is what he said about Beasley returning next season. He said the Pistons will be over the cap. Which means they can sign him for $7.2M which he said wont be enough. Or they can use the full MLE on him which is about $14M. He said only two teams project to have cap space this summer. Washington and Brooklyn, so neither one is a real big threat to sign Beasley. He said other non-tax paying teams are the threat, the other teams with the full $14M MLE to spend. He specifically mentioned Houston. He said both LA teams could be under the tax line, also OKC. Good teams that can offer the same amount of money would worry me.

Where was this when he was here?

Curious to see how the tariffs play out. Other than that I don't expect much different with the new boss.

Growth spurt the past 4 years.

I'm not picky. I will make fun of whichever fanbase loses.

Someone called into the CSPAN coverage of the inauguration.

This or the two Knick games in MSG. I think KAT sat out the first one though.
