Ian Begley: Sources confirmed ESPN report that Alec Burks & Nerlens Noel will be traded to DET, which opens up roughly $30M in cap space (depending on nonguaranteed NYK salaries). This gives NYK enough room to make competitive offer to FA Jalen Brunson, whom they are favorites to land.
Vincent Goodwill: It was clear the Pistons values flexibility provided by Noel and Burks, knowing salaries can be used for future moves and that they are useful players in the meantime (opposed to going big game hunting in free agency), sources say
Adrian Wojnarowski: Detroit is eager to utilize center Nerlens Noel and guards Alec Burks next season. GM Troy Weaver had Noel on his team in Oklahoma City, and Burks is an ideal veteran to mentor the Pistons talented young group of guards.
