Lets still make game threads for Pistons playoff games and use this for everything not related to Detroit. Eastern seeds are set. West still has a few more games to finish up tonight.

Link to the Pistons salary situation. https://www.spotrac.com/nba/detroit-pistons/yearly They sit at about $135 million with 11 players signed. This included none of the free agents for this summer like Duren. Salary cap is projected at $165 million. 1st Apron at $209 million. 2nd Apron at $222 million. Luxury tax at $201 million. Draft: June 23rd is the first round and the 24th is the second round. Pistons are picking 21st. They currently do not have a 2nd round pick. Key free agent dates: June 30th at 6PM eastern teams are free to start talking to free agents. July 1st the moratorium begins. Teams can continue to negotiate, but no contracts or trades can happen at this time. The league uses this time to go over the books and determine the seasons salary cap. June 6th at noon eastern teams can officially start to sign free agents. Dates related to the Pistons and their players: June 29th - The team option for Jenkins and Smith must be decided by this date. If they pick up Smith's option it is not guaranteed, yet. January 10th - Reed, Robinson, and Smith are guaranteed if still on the roster at this date. Reed and Smith can be cut this summer and cost Detroit $0. Robinson can be cut this summer and cost Detroit $2 million, compared to his $15 million season salary. Pistons free agents: Jalen Duren - Restricted full Bird rights Tobias Harris - Unrestricted partial Bird rights Javonte Green - Unrestricted partial Bird rights Kevin Huerter - Unrestricted full Bird rights Malik Beasley - Unrestricted partial Bird rights. Yes, they still hold the rights to Beasley. Full vs. restricted Bird rights. Full means they can go over the cap for pretty much any amount to sign them. Partial means there are restrictions on how much they can offer. They can go over that restriction, but then they need actual cap space to offer them. Most feel the Pistons will operate as an over the cap team this summer. That means they will have no cap space to use on free agents. They will get the Mid-Level Exception(MLE). The MLE Is a certain percentage of the cap and will probably be around $15.5 million this year. So that is what the Pistons have to work with in free agency this summer, $15.5 million. They did have the Bi-Annual Exception, but burned it in the trade with Minnesota. That means they can't use it this summer, but can again in the summer of 2027.

Translation: None of them actually want to play there. But they are happy to use Chicago to drive up their contract price.

Figured I would start a separate thread for trade deadline stuff. It will be for the entire league, not just the Pistons. Trade deadline is February 5th. Trades must be submitted to the league office by 3 p.m. ET. 99% of what's posted here will be complete bull****. Until it's not.

Interesting to see San Antonio having Victor guard Hart. They are letting 6'6" Stephon Castle guard KAT.

Six wins in a row for Charlotte after beating San Antonio today. Now 1.5 games out of the playin.

Something about raining and pouring

When your championship ring costs more than your yearly salary.

February 6th at 3PM ET. Sam Vecenie wrote a trade big board. NBA Trade Board 2024-25: Jimmy Butler, Cam Johnson and other rumored names on the market He lists the top 30 guys that might be traded. No Pistons are on it. The top 10 from 1-10 (Bolded means he lists the Pistons as one of the players best fit) Jimmy Butler Zach Lavine Cameron Johnson Brandon Ingram De'Andre Hunter Bogdan Bogdanovic Bruce Brown Collin Sexton Robert Williams Dorian Finney-Smith

Bad loss for the Suns last night. Booker, KD, and Beal all played. Ja and a few more key Memphis players did not play and Phoenix still lost. They are currently in the 11th seed which means they are not even in the play-in game. Someone said with tax penalties their payroll is the highest in the league at just over $400M. Disaster.
