Under the new CBA, it has become harder for teams to seamlessly move big contracts in a trade. This is where a team like the Pistons come in. Numerous reports in recent months have indicated that Langdon has kept cap space open so Detroit can take on money in exchange for draft capital.

As the trade odyssey of the Miami Heat and Jimmy Butler continues, there was one moment that came as a shock to some fans of the team and the basketball world. With all the speculation, Heat president Pat Riley released a statement saying bluntly that the team will not be trading Butler which garnered more debate among ESPN analysts.
