Pistons don’t have cap for both Grant & Plumlee 

Post#1 » by Wigginstime » Sat Nov 21, 2020 4:58 am

These two reported deals violate salary cap rules.

How does this work? Is there a Sign and trade? Who does Denver get?

Pistons are going to stretch Dedmon & McGruder. Don't like it at all as a Pistons fan.

Rumor floating around that Blake might be going.

That being said, did you include Dedmon's stretched contract in your calculations ?

The rumour now is Griffin.

We'll wait and see I guess. If healthy Blake could help Denver. Big if though. And even with that trade I'm not sure how I feel about the signings for Detroit. Sucking up money that should have gone to Wood and minutes that should go to Stewart and Sekou.

Sekou is basically like Grant, so might as well develop him

Take this for whatever it’s worth. Singer is a pretty reliable source.

I would be doubtful the Nuggets help the Pistons in this case if they truly did offer the same amount of money to Grant but I suppose it depends on what comes back to them.

The Pistons just paid 84 million for the Nuggets backup frontcourt

Pistons, Rockets, and Knicks in a 3 way cage match for bragging rights to worst ownership. All are making a strong case. Knicks seem to be losing with Tilman and Gores now taking this title more seriously. A new king will be crowned by years end.

I wondered the same thing. I thought they only had like $9M, then they sign Jackson, Plumlee, and Grant?

I think D Rose is going to the Warriors with their DPE to give the Pistons more cap relief.

Sorry Bro, the Knicks are under NEW management, in case you haven't noticed.

Seems like Detroit could use new Knicks' wiz kid Brock Aller, with that math.
