Keith Smith: Factoring in the reported contracts for John Collins, Kevin Huerter & Javonte Green and the Gary Harris/Taurean Prince acquisitions, I've got the Pistons at about $42.8M under the luxury tax. That's enough room to give Jalen Duren a 25% of the cap max without going into the tax.
Bobby Marks: Non-bird rights for Javonte Green. 120% above 7 year veteran exception.
Shams Charania: Free agent forward Javonte Green has agreed to a one-year, $3.95 million deal to return to the Detroit Pistons, sources tell ESPN. Green played all 82 games for the Pistons a season ago, averaging 6.9 points, 17.6 minutes and 38.1% 3-point shooting.
Omari Sankofa II: FINAL: Magic 123, Pistons 107. Pistons cut a 26-point deficit to four with 4:07 to play but couldn't complete the comeback. Fall to 57-22 overall. 3 games left. Duren: 18 pts, 8 rebs Jenkins: 18 pts, 7 assts Huerter: 17 pts, 5 assts, 4 stls Green: 17 pts, 7 rebs, 3 stls, 2 blk

"I had this conversation with my mom this past weekend," said Green. "There's only three players there that were there when I was there (Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Payton Pritchard -- ed.). But, yeah, me and Jayson are still really close. We talk a lot --we talk a lot." They may talk a lot, but there is one thing they do NOT talk about -- Tatum's Achilles injury. "Like for me, I'm not checking and seeing how you're doing and stuff like that," explained the Pistons wing. "But I already know how sensitive that is to players that go through injuries, like a special major injury like that. So I just check in and just make sure he's well, that's it." "I'm not really into just talking about the injuries. I know how sensitive he is. And I can see that his progression is going well," he added. "So that's all that matters."
As to whether he believes Tatum should return to the court this season, Green only wants to see him back on the court healthy -- whenever that happens. "Man, I've seen him this summer," he recalled. "He said that was his goal." "His goal was to come back this season. But me being a friend, being a person to care for him, I only want the best for him. So I tell him to take his time and make sure he comes back when he's ready."
Bobby Marks: The free agent market has significantly dried up since late June. While Detroit still retains his non-bird rights, the maximum they can sign him for his $7.2M. The Pistons have signed Caris LeVert, Duncan Robinson, Javonte Green to replace Beasley and Tim Hardaway Jr. They also expect Jaden Ivey to return.
Michael Scotto: Update: The Detroit Pistons signed Javonte Green to a one-year, partially guaranteed deal, sources told @hoopshype. Green receives $925,000 guaranteed from the Pistons. He has averaged 5.3 points on 51% shooting in six NBA seasons with the Bulls, Celtics, Pelicans, and Cavaliers.
