If the Mavs had dealt Luka wisely I think theyâd be doing just fine. Every human being with a microphone made it clear they thought Nico did just about the dumbest possible thing the dumbest possible way.
Do things wisely, youâll get good faith commentary that your fans will respond to. But if you donât trust yourself to do a good job, sure, just wait for Giannis to sour on you.
WellâŚ
lol Beasley is literally the first picture on the scroll of their front page of their site
Free agent shooter Duncan Robinson has agreed to a three-year, $48 million deal with the Detroit Pistons, sources tell ESPN. Agent Jason Glushon navigated multiple options in the market, which included potential return to Miami or move elsewhere. Now Robinson lands in Detroit. https://www.espn.com/contributor/shams-charania/ff074e51ed445?modifier=webview http://espn.com/app

Fontecchio to Miami.
Thatâs the Beasley replacement.
Beasley = Duncan
LeVert > THJ
Bball Paul = Bball Paul
Ivey > Schroeder
Probably need a backup PF to replace Tek

So thatâs Schroeder, THJ, and Beasley out, Caris and Duncan in?
Think thatâs pretty nice business for the Pistons.

Just need to find a backup playable rotational PF unless they plan on Holland or Ausar play there
Caris getting lots of strays even from pulitzer prize winner Graham Couch.
Couch is just still bitter about this

The second year of Robinsonâs deal is 40% guaranteed, the third is non-guaranteed
So itâs like âŚ1.5 years for like 16 mil lol
Genuinely wonder where they will trade Ivey
Wouldnât that be 22.5 mill or so assuming that itâs a flat rate contract?
Whoops yes youâre right
22 mil guaranteed money, I didnât math right
Wow good deal for the Pistons
They have the money this year, heâs been a good offensive player, makes total sense given they donât really need to pay him if he doesnât work out
I think they replaced Beasley with a reasonable facsimile (at least for next year) in Robinson (or upgraded Hardaway depending on how you view it), and upgraded Schroder with Levert

Pistons: B
Shooting became an urgent need for the Pistons early in free agency. Detroit presumably wonât return guard Malik Beasley, who is under investigation by the United States District Attorneyâs office on allegations of gambling related to NBA games and prop bets.
The Pistons also saw starting guard Tim Hardaway Jr. commit to the Denver Nuggets, leaving Cade Cunningham as their only player under contract that made at least 100 3-pointers last season. Enter Robinson, the NBAâs all-time leader in 3-point attempts per 36 minutes (9.9) whoâs made them at a 40% career clip, including 190 makes last season.
Itâs possible Robinson could fill Hardawayâs starting role, spacing the floor alongside Cunningham and non-shooters Jalen Duren and Ausar Thompson. That would leave fellow newcomer Caris LeVertreplacing Beasley in Detroitâs second unit. Robinson split his time almost evenly between starting and coming off the bench the last two seasons with the Heat.
I am surprised there was enough interest for Robinson to command more than the non-taxpayer midlevel exception. I didnât have him among my top 25 potential free agents. As terrific a shooter as Robinson is, heâs a below-average defender, an issue that could become more pronounced as he ages. (Robinson turned 31 in April.) That salary wonât matter much for the Pistons this season; after swapping Fontecchio for Robinson, Detroit is nowhere near the luxury-tax line.
