HoopsHype: Ninety-nine players have played for both the Hawks and the Pistons. Luke Kennard and Caris LeVert will make that 101 this coming season. That's easily the most shared players between any two teams in NBA history.

Detroit marks the fifth team for LeVert throughout his professional career. He has prior experience playing under Pistons' head coach J.B. Bickerstaff dating back to 2022 with the Cleveland Cavaliers. LeVert expounded on the impact Bickerstaff made on his game when speaking to the media Monday. “I think J.B. brought out a different part of my game. Once I went to Cleveland, I was asked to play defense, and before then, I wasn't really asked to play defense, and I think that's one of the stronger parts of my game now,” LeVert explained. “I think my time in Cleveland really evolved me as a player, just defensively and kind of playing off the ball as well. I feel like those two or three things really took my game to the next level.

The Pistons, meanwhile, are strongly expected to focus on signing Caris LeVert away from the Hawks while Sacramento — as we've been reporting for days — is widely expected to come to terms with Detroit's Dennis Schröder on a deal that some are projecting to run for two years and inch toward the $30 million range to become the Kings' starting point guard.

One more positive element for Atlanta is that this deal had a near-zero cost in terms of cap flexibility, adding just $5 million to its cap number. The Hawks will likely re-sign Caris LeVert at something just north of the projected $14.1 million nontaxpayer midlevel exception, but even after that, they are roughly $14 million below the tax line and $22 million below the first apron, where they are now capped as a result of this trade.
