And if that happens I seriously doubt that the Pistons let him walk unless it's a sign-and-trade. I wouldn't mind offing Hendo or Zeller, whichever they want or both, onto the Pistons for Monroe.
They will, Stan wants a "stretch 4" like he had in Orlando to re-create his old team based around Drummond

Look at Beal's extra regular ass getting all of this exposure as the next big thing at SG and he's nothing really special. It's just scarce competition at SG because all of the talented players that should be focusing on being SGs are wasting their talent trying to be PGs. Smh
I'd scalp Jessica Alba for Bradley Beal.
He shot 40% from 3 as a 20 year old. Ray Allen was still in college at 20. He does other things too.

He shot 40% from 3 and still had middling to below average efficiency stats from his PER, TS%, to his eFG%. He's nothing special to me.

Kemba - Beal backcourt.

If Boris Diaw stands near the basket, does his massive gravitational pull on the ball make the ball anymore likely to go in the basket?

This RIGHT HERE is why Detroit's oft-cited cap space means squat.
It's like we all realize how limiting this class is in how few ways we can get better but yet the very same class is ripe for the picking for Detroit and all its glorious cap space and under no circumstances will Detroit save their cap room for next year because they are determined to screw us out of a good pick.

Detroit could've been a playoff team last season if they had a decent coach. About halfway through the season they were only about 1 game behind Charlotte when Maurice Cheeks was fired
