They only paid Wayne Ellenson 750,000 vet min so they have i believe 1.75 mil left to sign another free agent,will they do this?there's plenty of players out there right now. Who would you pick?

Is Kanter available? Would he even come here?

Assuming the Warriors get Robin Lopez and pass on both Kanter and Gortat

I doubt we make another addition.

SupacoolBeas for GRIII is probably an upgrade on-court I guess.
Weaver = Hinkie
VW to Portland :pray:

Melo or Beasley. We need someone who can score off the bench.

I doubt we add anyone, and really hope we don't. The time to make that call was at the deadline and we decided to keep ish and zaza.

Bobby Marks
ESPN

Detroit is now $252K below the luxury tax after the Wayne Ellington signing in Detroit. There are no player bonuses on pace that would push the Pistons over the tax threshold.

(who knows who's right i hear 2 different contracts)so it's anyone's guess right now what ellenton getting paid.

No, I'll take Woj's word for it. Makes more sense anyways. The contenders were probably offering the minimum, while Detroit had some MLE left while being able to stay under the tax.

Also, spotrac is bad.
