Report: Pistons Interested in CJ Miles

The Detroit Pistons are interested in versatile wingman CJ Miles, according to Vincent Ellis of the Detroit Free Press. 

Miles declined a player option with the Pacers yesterday, which means he'll be unrestricted free agent when free agency begins on July 1st. 

From Ellis: 

A person with firsthand knowledge of the Pistons’ off-season plans told the Free Press this morning Miles “would be on our list.”

The person cautioned that a lot would depend on what happens with restricted free agents Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Reggie Bullock. Speculation says Caldwell-Pope will likely receive a max contract, and that the Pistons will match that. Bullock will likely receive a more lucrative deal elsewhere, making it tough for Detroit to match both Caldwell-Pope's and Bullock's offer sheets. 

Miles would be a solid replacement for Bullock. He had a solid year for the Pacers, in which he averaged 10.7 points per game on a career-high 41.3 percent from three-point range. 

Miles spent time at shooting guard, small forward, and power forward with Indiana this year. The veteran forward is now 30 years old.
