I don't think DET is going anywhere next season.
DET only has ~$26.15M in guaranteed salaries going into the next league year, spread over only 3 contracts. They have ~$61.25M in Team Option un-guaranteed money for 8 players that they will have to act on at some point, I don't know the deadline.
That means they have to exercise TOs and sign players for ~$101M just to reach the league minimum of $126.9M. That means $39.5M in additional money is needed even if they confirm all the TOs for next year.
Plus they are paying the balance of just-fired Monty Williams $78M coaching contract for the next five years, about $13M/yr.
New GM, coaching turmoil, draft one week away. Feels like they could be available for some wheeling and dealing.
