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?
I'm not entirely sure how good Diallo is. He shot well from 3 this year but really small sample size and the rest of his career suggest it was super flukey. Not a particularly good defender at least metrics wise. He's athletic and I like him as a flyer... But I'm not sure I want to pay him that much.
