James Edwards on Marvin Bagley’s future: What Detroit has to consider is they have a lot of cap space this summer. They can choose to have a lot of cap space next summer. Blake Griffin’s contract comes off the books this summer. Do you want to commit three years, $21 million, or so to Marvin? I think it’s possible. I think Detroit wants to have Marvin here long-term. I’ve talked to him. Every time he talks about Detroit, he talks about his future here. He’s a good locker room and a nice guy. He fits the culture. I think Detroit’s plan is to bring him back. In what role? I think right now, it seems most likely, because of his limitations defensively, he’s going to be looked at as one of the main two pieces off the bench moving forward.

Bagley: “Everybody’s sticking with it. We know what we’re trying to get to. Every game, I feel like we’re getting better. Win or lose, we do a lot of great things out there. We’re just continuing to learn off each other, from each other.” – 9:27 PM

I’d be suspended for life if I played for the Hawks. Kelly O put two hands on Huerter on that drive and then fouled him on the arm. No call for that superstar. Marvin Bagley travelled a little while before and no call after OO got whistled for his. Most disrespected team. – 8:57 PM
