Great defensive possession by CJ McCollum. Came all the way across the lane to offer help to Jose Alvarado battling Miles Bridges and then ran all the way back to his man and made Brandon Miller take a difficult shot (which he missed). – 9:00 PM

While I understand Washington’s appeal to others, he’s not someone I’ve heard that Detroit is interested in. If that was the case, the Pistons would have made a run at him in restricted free agency this past summer. Now, there is one player on the Hornets roster that I’ve heard that the Pistons have had internal discussions about over the last year: Miles Bridges. The Flint, Mich., native is on a one-year deal, largely due to his off-the-court legal troubles. Bridges was arrested in June 2022 and pleaded no contest to a felony domestic violence charge last November. He received three years of probation but no jail time as part of a deal with prosecutors. The NBA issued a 30-game suspension to the former Michigan State Spartan. -via The Athletic / December 18, 2023
