They actually started Caris in Game 4. Unfortunately I believe Ed Davis was hurt and not available.
Not sure if this is correct but Iām placing the Duncan Robinson article in the āMichigan Players in THE NBAā threadā¦I think heās earned it! Also notice the complexity of the structure, high hopes for DR! Well done! DIII to DI to GLEAGUE to the Show!
Well done Doctor!

Am I reading that right that if he gets through summer league and stays on the roster he will make $1MIL?
Thatās the way I read itā¦not bad, very happy for the young man! Best three point shooter in the G-LEAGUEā¦per Pat Riley!

What it means is that his NBA salary doesnāt get picked up unless he makes the team out of camp.
Essentially, his two-way service time was up this year, the Heat needed to convert him (and Maten) to NBA contracts in order to continue to allow them to play on the NBA roster, and this was the least possible commitment they could extend in order to do that AND retain some control over them during the off-season.

Would love to see Trey Burke w/ the Pistons (for selfish reasons)

Mo to Washington, which is an awful franchise and in no place to be successful for a long time. But heāll get a chance to play. Also, heās not on the East Coast and can visit his borther Franz more often in AA

Yeah I think getting traded to a literal zombie franchise (no front office in place means nobody āownsā the players they just acquired) is close to worst case scenario. He may get some minutes, short-term, but with no franchise leadership in place, they have no investment in him.
Itās definitely not the best place to be traded to if youāre Mo, but he wasnāt in the best place before either. Lakers FO dysfunction has really shown itself over the past few months, and you gotta think anytime you play on a team with Bron youāre either 1. exceptionally talented/good bargain 2. one of his boys or 3. havenāt been traded yet for 1 or 2. Hopefully Mo gets some minutes with the Wiz and is able to show value. I donāt see a lot of promise that he sticks there, but with some playing time could earn himself a chance with a more consistent org.

Gores and Stefanski shoulda done us a solid by getting him for the Pistons. Their fault for putting the Beilein idea in Gilbertās head in the first place. (No, I donāt know that for sure, but seems reasonable so eff all those effing effers anyway)
Good luck to GRIIIā¦heās looking for a new home.
Nikā¦looking for a home!

Russell out, Kyrie in, KD still a year away with injury. Should be tons of opportunity in the coming year.

Did you guys notice the name right below the piece on Stauskas? Jamal Crawford is into his 19th season, tying Juwanās record. I believe that KG holds the NBA record at 21 season.

Next year - likely not. Durant isnāt playing, Russell and Irving had similar usages.
When Durant returns, it just means Caris will be used a lot less.

This is apropos of nothing now that Mo no longer plays for them, but re: Leonard getting with Magic to find out just how nuts the Lakers really are. . . might not be the guy to ask.
I think heās on year 4 of his rookie deal, which means he should be a restricted free agent at the end of next year. So, if he has a good year next year it will basically be an audition for his next team (not saying levert, Durant, and kyrie canāt coexist, but the financials become an issue).
