It’s seems like it’s been forever ago since news came out one Friday morning of the Detroit Pistons finalizing a deal with the Boston Celtics. And it’s still fresh news that has left Piston fans flustered.
As previously mentioned, July 7th marks the day Detroit traded away Marcus Morris for Celtic shooting guard Avery Bradley. July 7th also marks the day Detroit ultimately parted ways with what was believed to be their shooting guard of the future, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and rescinded his qualifying offer.
Most would say the decision to bring in Avery Bradley as Caldwell-Pope’s replacement was an ingenious move from Detroit’s front office as the level in offensive and defensive abilities greatly improves.
