    Solid 2 guard from Detroit. Was their starter I believe when they made the playoffs a year ago. Not sure if he had a drop off or not, but from what i remember, dude could put 20+ on any given night. I wonder if Houston would want to try and nab him

    Don't get it. His raw stats are unimpressive and his advanced stats are worse. He didn't even crack 40% from the field last year. Detroit would be better with Trevor Ariza taking those 14 shots.

    Have you seen Tim Hardaway or James Johnson's contracts? Dude could MAKE $20/Mil+ any given season.

    someone is going to try and way overpay for this guy and regret it. if nets dont end up with porter, they'll probably go after him

    I could see him going to a team in a city to play basketball.

    Someone will be happy. I think this guy is going to benefit from playing in a better system, he will develop that 3pt shot, and IIRC he is a good defender.

    I wish we had more cap space because I would love KCP in Houston, even as a starter. Perfect next to Harden.

    No chance we can afford him, unfortunately.

    Pistons are a mess. Van Gundy should focus on the coaching job.

    Since the Wizards will match Otto Porter, the Nets will throw their money at KCP next.

    Dude is all flash no substance, pass. I was hoping Stan would be dumb enough to trade Harris to keep Pope but he just got Bradley so Pope will probably be a net soon

    Would he be getting paid in balloons? Because balloons are pretty awesome.

    Like who?
    Hardaway Jr. who they may not match?
    Crawford who's getting bought out.
    Belinelli who's not a starter quality player
    Sefolosha is a FA
    Bazemore plays the 3

    they just signed their draft pick dorsey, still have bazemore who plays the 2 more than 3, belinelli, and crawford still. they dont have a reason to give that guy a big contract when atl isn't winning very much next year and with 4 sgs on the roster at the moment.

    This. Don't know why people think he's good.

    Avery Bradley >>>> KCP.

    KCP was about to get paid same money as AB will get next year and he isn't even half the player he is.
    Also his agent is Rich Paul.
    Nets or Lakers can sign him and overpay him.
