They probably wanted their other stuff wrapped up first.  But he probably wouldn't play summer league without a contract.

I realize this guy has no insider info and is just thinking out loud.  But I'm burning the place down if they trade Stew for Vucevic.  

 

no way detroit does that.

Holland is playing.

It's just summer league, so I don't really care.  But can't the Pistons do anything without a nepo baby involved?  It pays to have your uncle coach an NBA team.

Sort of makes me think the Monk trade was never a thing.  The entire reason to do a S&T with Monk was to retain the MLE.  Using their TPE does that, so they never needed to move Monk.  Either way, fantastic news that we are not getting Monk.  

Also shows how little value 2nd round picks have.  They gave one up just to get a TPE that odds say they won't use.

Some TPE rules:

• One year from the date it was created to use it
• They can add $14.8 million in salary even if they are over the cap without sending anything else out
• Can be used on free agents or for trades
• It can not be combined with anything else.  So you can't trade Ivey + the TPE to bring back a bigger salary.
• It can be broken up to use on multiple players if their combined salary is under the TPE amount

I wonder if they have a feeling on Beasley getting clear of his charges and are creating this for him.

Could be a heavily protected 2nd. That way you don't really give up anything. You just have to include something in order to make the trade.
