Man all this interest in a guy that had a good Summer League? Just goes to show if you do well during the summer, you never know. Three teams could be trying to get you on their bench.
That’s what’s currently happening for free agent Eric Moreland. After having a great Summer League with the Kings. The Lakers and Pistons have thrown themselves in the mix for Moreland, with Detroit being the frontrunner.
Moreland would hold strong chances in roster competitions with the Pistons, Lakers and Kings. Detroit will have several forwards battling for final regular season spots, and Los Angeles and Sacramento have openings with 12 and 14 guaranteed contracts, respectively.
After recovering from shoulder surgery, Moreland had an impressive Summer League in Las Vegas for the second consecutive year. He averaged 6.4 points, eight rebounds and two blocks in 20 minutes per game for the Kings’ entry.
Now the Pistons clearly don’t mind using training camp as an audition for some players. We already know that Stan Van Gundy still wants to make some moves. Turns out this is a potential one. The Lakers need as much help as they can get. And the Kings. Well if they were interested in him, maybe they shouldn’t have waived him.
