Pistons to lose Caldwell-Pope next season?
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has emerged as one of the more promising young shooting guards in the league thanks to a breakout season last year, and that means he may not be in Detroit much longer. According to the Detroit Free Press, KCP is likely to sign elsewhere in free agency next summer:
 
There was speculation among observers at the Orlando Pro Summer League that Caldwell-Pope could seek a multi-year deal worth around $20 million per season – understandable if you see the money being thrown around this off-season. That’s a price the Pistons are probably unwilling to pay – they’d rather get a deal around $15 million per season. Further complicating matters is news that the luxury tax for the 2017-18 season is projected at $122 million – down from an April projection $127 million.
 
The Pistons are going to be over the cap $104 million cap for 2017-18 but a significant Caldwell-Pope raise would have the Pistons threatening the luxury tax line and its expensive penalties. If no deal is reached by late October, Caldwell-Pope becomes a restricted free agent next off-season.
Caldwell-Pope averaged 14.5 points and 3.7 rebounds per game last season.

 

Vince Ellis is a moron

Heat sign Wayne Ellington, James Johnson, Willie Reed, Udonis Haslem, and Derrick Williams. Also trade a 2nd rounder for Luke Babbit and match Tyler Johnson's offer sheet.

[Hurricane Season]

Would you take Bosh over Blake?

 

[buzzy]

For one season in a vacuum yes. But if I have guys like Whiteside and Russ I'd take Blake since they're all about the same age. Chris is 5 years older.

Called this back when it happened. That's why we didn't try to trade for Al at the deadline

From what I hear in Boston (obv take with a grain of salt) is that there is a significant chance Horford wants to play in Boston next year, and that the Celtics don't want to lose any trade assets when they can outright sign him in FA

 

[elcheato]

To think two years ago the Celtics were centering trade offers for Kevin Love around Jared Sullinger

Can't do shit when the one thing we ask him to do is lose weight, and he doesn't
