Keith Smith: I'm currently projecting the Bulls to have about $27.6M in cap space this offseason. That's if they clear the decks of all of their free agents, minus Ayo Dosunmu and Jaden Ivey. Ivey's cap hold is about $6M more than Coby White's is. I'm assuming White won't be back next season.

According to league sources, the Pistons’ stance of being opportunistic as opposed to aggressive remains unchanged with the trade deadline on Thursday. It appears unlikely the Pistons will make any major moves before the deadline. Rather than making calls to gauge the value of its own players, Detroit is doing its due diligence in answering incoming queries. The Pistons are young and exceeding expectations for the second straight season, so there’s a desire to find the ceiling of this group without feeling obligated to shake up the core.

Earvin Magic Johnson: I want to congratulate Mark Aguirre on his #24 jersey retirement with the Dallas Mavericks. I met Mark and Isiah Thomas 45 years ago after they were drafted to the NBA - we formed a friendship and started training in my hometown Lansing, MI and their hometown Chicago, IL that summer. Mark was a triple threat on the basketball court and virtually unstoppable. Look at how good God is, all three of us now have our jerseys retired by the teams we played for - myself with the Lakers, Isiah with the Pistons, and now Mark with the Mavericks!
