Diallo is a RFA looking to get paid a little and receive quality minutes. I think there is an opportunity to "steal" him after how the draft played out.
$8M with Cunningham on the roster are different than $8M with Mobley on the roster. It´s not just about what Detroit wants. Yes theoretically they can block any moves by matching offers, but you want an un-happy fourth guard on an overpay?
Not a foregone conclusion they pick Cunningham. He's the consensus pick, but Weaver is really intrigued by Jalen Green as well. Diallo can get minutes at SF as well as SG. The guards currently are Hayes, Lee, McGruder, Ellington, Frank Jackson, Josh Jackson, DSJ, and Cory Joseph. Except for both Jacksons, Hayes, and Lee, the rest are gone. I just don't see them moving him at least not at this point. Things can change, however.
