Be interesting to see if Franz plays or not.  Orlando really missed him in game 5.  They missed him as another shot creator and more importantly, as a defender on Cade.

Franz has the most possessions as the primary defender on Cade at 86.  Cade's EFG% in those possessions is just 39% with 6 turnovers.

Here are some summer cap projections.  There are basically only 3 teams with enough cap space to offer Duren a max deal.  One of them is LA and their space depends on Lebron leaving.

A sign and trade is always a possibility.  But that requires Duren finding a team he likes and that team having something Detroit wants in a trade.

They really are careful with those calf injuries.

Harris and Huerter questionable for Detroit.
