Q. Reports out of Charlotte say the Pistons are interested in point guard Brevin Knight. True?
A. The Pistons have long had interest in Knight, going back to last season. But there haven't been any new talks.
The 5-10 Knight makes $4.4 million this season and has a team option for $4.2 million next season. The Pistons, in the past, had talked about dealing Davis ($3.5 million) and Flip Murray ($1.7 million) to the Bobcats.
But the Pistons aren't actively shopping Davis anymore. Their priority right now seems to be moving Mohammed, who has five years and $25 million left on his contract. The Bobcats aren't likely to be interested in taking on that much money.
The Bobcats might take Murray and one of the Pistons' two first-round picks, but Dumars is loathe to move either of those picks.
Knight is a great passer and has some of the best hands I've seen as far as steals goes (he is great at swatting the ball away from big men). He has his problems, he's small and isn't a good defender, and he's not a good shooter, but I think he'd be a decent pickup if he could be had reasonably.
