The Pistons were rumored to be the 3rd team with this deal FWIW.
looks like the Cavs didnāt consider Caris the best 6th man in the NBA
Still could be; Cavs beat writer is saying they are still looking to expand the deal to add a third team.

I donāt know how the whole Mark Williams thing will effect his minutes, but Moussa has full-fledged NBA status now:

Assume heās the starter for the rest of the year when Williams sits (which history and the circumstances of this trade getting scuttled suggest will be often) and backup when he plays.
But this is a good deal for Moussa, big increase in compensation. Iām sort of surprised he hadnāt already consumed the service time of the two-way.

He screams buy out to me but who knows

Unfortunately left with a concussion after an inadvertent smack from Beef Stew.
Looked like Tre Donaldson getting a picture with Cade after the Pistons game.

I felt bad for Moussa but that was a awful tech given to Stew.

Well, techs generally follow reputation, and Stew definitely has the rep

I think it was unintentional, but I have no idea why he curled into a fist. Seemed reckless enough to justify the tech
The phrasing the refs used was weird. They said it was clearly an āunintentional actā but was so forceful they had to call a tech.
lol guys if thatās not a tech Iām not sure what is
Ejectionable? Flagrant? No. A technical? Yes. He hit a guy in the face with a closed hand

I donāt have a problem with the tech, it was just a strange explanation. āHe didnāt mean to do it, but we have to give him a tech.ā If you deem an action to be āreckless endangermentā Iām okay with a tech.
