    The Detroit Pistons need shooting, but their cap situation likely prevents an expensive splurge.

    Indiana Pacers sharpshooter C.J. Miles could provide a solution.

    An ESPN.com report on Tuesday said Miles, 30, will opt out of the final year of his deal to become an unrestricted free agent.

    And the Pistons are interested in the 6-foot-6 shooting guard.

    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.

    The Pistons are capped out, meaning their ability to spend on free agents is limited, but they could use the non-taxpayer $8.4-million mid-level exception to spend this off-season — unless a Caldwell-Pope extension and other decisions put the Pistons in danger of crossing into luxury tax territory.
