Cade knows good times are coming in Detroit. One day soon he will lead the Pistons back to relevancy and then contending for NBA titles. I’m going to enjoy the ride!

[Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn]

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham has agreed on a five-year, $224 million maximum rookie extension that could become worth as much as $269 million, his agents Jeff Schwartz and James Dunleavy of @ExcelBasketball tell ESPN.

[McPiston @McPiston2]

@BigDaddyJudah @KeithSmithNBA idk. I'd say just one (and maybe some 2nds) with MPJ being FA after the season and the Nets getting both Holland and DRob in the deal.

[McPiston @McPiston2]

One potential solution (not sure if its legal) for matching MPJ's salary would be to include Wendell Moore Jr as a sign/trade component. He's listed on Spotracs Trade Machines as eligible for a sign/trade and @KeithSmithNBA put In lots of time to make sure it flags illegal trades

[McPiston @McPiston2]

If the Pistons want to try and trade for MPJ they'd have to give up DRob. Holland, Jenkins and Tolu just to match salary

[McPiston @McPiston2]

I know the first comment will be why would BKLN want to pay Moore $6.65M? Answer the money is already spent (would of went to Porter), and by taking just Moore instead of multiple players they won't have to cut anyone to clear a roster spot for the extra player.

[McPiston @McPiston2]

Don't mind DRob going to MEM (he'd go to BKLN) Because DRobs salary is only guaranteed for $2M that's all his outgoing salary counts for on this trade machine, UNLESS he's traded into a TPE (which MEM had) than it counts for the full $15.9M.

If legal, this could be an option

[McPiston @McPiston2]

@JamG_91 @omarisankofa It was last February

[McPiston @McPiston2]

In a nutshell the PIstons basically dumped Stew & LeVert then swapped out Harris/Sasser for Collins/Joe to afford Durens raise and add Prince/Harris

[McPiston @McPiston2]

@JeffreyVocemb8 @XxPurePistonsxX No problem.

Yes It is. You have to really study it and learn all the nuances to understand how it works.

[McPiston @McPiston2]

If the Pistons want to try and trade for MPJ they'd have to give up DRob. Holland, Jenkins and Tolu just to match salary

[McPiston @McPiston2]

@JeffreyVocemb8 @XxPurePistonsxX Whatever we pay Duren has no bearing on how much salary DET would have to send out to trade for MPJ, Its still $30m+

You can't combine exceptions together or with other players. If you have a $15m TPE you can use it to trade for a player or players making up to $15M. That's it!

[McPiston @McPiston2]

@JeffreyVocemb8 @XxPurePistonsxX That's now how it works

Pistons do not have $48M in cap space to spend. They are $48m under the tax line. To trade for MPJ they need to send out over $30M in salary to make the trade legal.

That would take DRob. Holland, Jenkins & Tolu as I originally posted.

[McPiston @McPiston2]

The Ringer's @MichaelVPina on John Collins signing with Detroit.

I've been wanting to see Cade & Collins team up since Cade was a rookie.

[McPiston @McPiston2]

@XxPurePistonsxX No

First off that's only $20m in outgoing salary. Pistons would need to send over $30m out. Even if they added Holland they're still about $1m short. They can'r combine TPEs & Players

Again Harris can not be included with any other PIstons players in a trade until after 12/15

[McPiston @McPiston2]

@XxPurePistonsxX Actually they can trade Harris now, but can't aggregate him with other Pistons players

[McPiston @McPiston2]

@XxPurePistonsxX You cant combine exceptions and players and Pistons cant trade Harris until 12/15

[McPiston @McPiston2]

👀

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

Michael Porter Jr. is expected to be traded if he and the Nets can’t come to an agreement on an extension, per @NYPost_Lewis

[McPiston @McPiston2]

@LedgieSports https://t.co/LdcaQOToMI

[McPiston @McPiston2]

Get Duren signed. Give him 5 yrs for $180m but make it on a declining scale.

42/39/36/33/30

Make the last 2 seasons player options giving Duren the chance to opt out after 3/117 or 4/150. He gets $ he wants the first few years & the chance for another huge contract at age 25

[McPiston @McPiston2]

@t2_lg79332 Sharpe cant be traded until December 15.

[McPiston @McPiston2]

Duren Sign and Trade to BKLN Option 4.0

- Nets would send the 3 second round picks to DAL for the Pistons to aquire Gafford

Cade/Ausar/Porter/Collins/Gafford
Okorie/Joe/Green/Prince/Reed
Jenkins/Harris/Huerter/Clowney/Smith

[McPiston @McPiston2]

@KaliHBIC I highly doubt that's anyone's plan. He's just not shown in the picture because he has yet to sign a contract.

[McPiston @McPiston2]

The current projected Pistons depth chart from Hoops Hype (Duren not listed). Did they get it right? What changes would you make?

Starting 5 looks good, but i'd have Okorie and Joe on the 2nd unit over Jenkins and Huerter.

[McPiston @McPiston2]

@GeorgeL313 Because I said please

[McPiston @McPiston2]

@KaliHBIC With Duren we don't have rebounding? or are you talking about Reed and Tolu like it shows on here?
