I love that Detroit renounced KCP right as Brooklyn's cap space is tied up for 6 full days. They cannot credibly offer KCP & his agent the max on the 1% chance the Wizards fail to match Porter's sheet. Brooklyn finally has the chance to wildly throw a max at an unrestricted wing but they've been foiled by their own lust for restricted free agents. Shame, Sean Marks. Shame.

Why pay Kentavious Caldwell Pope when you could pay both Langston Galloway and Avery Bradley
Why retain Marcus Morris for 3 more years at 6m per year instead of Avery Bradley for one year

I actually love this move. SO MANY TEAMS get caught up in frantically maxing or matching B- to B+ players and end up regretting it a year or two later. They knew he wasn't that good so they signed 85% of his production for a fraction of the price in Langston Galloway.

Good on the Pistons. Let someone else have Kentavious Caldwell-Goddamn-Pope take up like a fifth of their cap.

(they will sign Avery Bradley to a max next year I'm sure.)

Wait, Marcus is the shitter Morris brother right? His stats last year look pretty terrible. :(

He's the better Morris Brother. His percentages look bad because he had to take bail out mid range shots on a team with no shooting. He's tough and he can actually guard Lebron, unlike any other player on the Celtics. Stan's a fat slob and a moron

Philly could clear the space for him tonight, and there's no real reason for KCP to wait for Brooklyn's 99% offer when Philly's offer is in his hand.

No, he's a very good wing defender and makes his threes when he gets clean looks. He can make straight line drives to the basket. He's quick and athletic. He's a better player than Luke Kennard Avery Bradley and Langston Galloway

Sure if Philly is going to offer him the full max + treats which would be the worst contract in the NBA

Avery Bradley does everything KCP does except better and more consistently.

Marcus was the worse Morris brother in Phoenix but was way better than Markieff in 15-16. He regressed last year but so did the entire team. He's decent at everything and not great at anything except mid-range shooting.

I wouldn't be mad if Pritchard threw $15 mil per year at KCP, but not a max.

Plus there's the added benefit that his brother Kief is actually taller and may sometimes play in Marcus' place if Marcus is hurt.

Fully expect Simmons to buy into this theory immediately.

because his skills match their needs and they might rather pay KCP a pretty large sum than pay Covington a slightly smaller but still large sum.
