Michigan Players in the NBA

Then I guess the Magic need to get to work on that trade for Duncan Robinson

Moe has played himself into consideration as a bench big and Iā€™m sure will get some looks in free agency. I think his role with the Magic was nice, and playing with Franz was a bonus, so if numbers and guarantees are all the same, I hope he stays with the Magic.

Yeah given the way things went there the past season and a half Iā€™d be really surprised if Mo wasnā€™t on the team. He has every reason to want to stay (they gave him opportunity three other franchises really didnā€™t, his brother is there), and heā€™s a good player for his role who likely wonā€™t command a massive amount of money who can play either big slot.

So do you think the Warriors salary dumped Pooleā€¦
ā€¦plan to re-sign the guy who punched himā€¦
ā€¦but that guy could sign with the Kingsā€¦
ā€¦whose star player he stomped on.

Not a player, but:

Beilein: Itā€™s closed now. Iā€™m right here. Well, Iā€™m in Florida or up in Petosky. But Ann Arbor will be a place weā€™ll visit often because my daughter is here with three children.

Pallette Bistro is the spot up that way. Beilein strikes me as more of a Chandlerā€™s guy though and kinda surprised he isnā€™t up in Harbor Springs with the rest of the snow birds with money.

JE III, regarding Liversā€™ option being picked up:

Isaiah Livers

Contract status: Club option ($1.8 million)
Odds Livers returns: 100 percent

As I reported Tuesday, the Pistons have picked up the club option of the soon-to-be third-year forward.

Livers, a second-round pick in 2021, hasnā€™t been able to find a rhythm in his young career because of injuries, but heā€™s had very solid stretches and has received great support from general manager Troy Weaver and others in Detroitā€™s organization. The case could be made that Livers is one of the teamā€™s top two or three defenders, and his 3-point shooting makes him a legitimate 3-and-D wing if health starts to turn in his favor.

The Pistons bolstered their wing rotation by drafting Thompson last week, and I expect them to add another wing in free agency. But I still see Livers carving out a role in Monty Williamsā€™ rotation.

Getting a guaranteed 3rd year as a second round pick is great. Very happy for Isaiah
