The NBA has captured the Detroit Pistons mega-trade that includes five other teams, 10 players, and a handful of draft picks trading hands on its official website. That is a sign that the deal is complete and, importantly, not getting any bigger.<\/p>\n
There has been no official press release sent by any of the teams involved, but let\u2019s be honest, that\u2019s a lot of stuff to type up.<\/p>\n
The key players in the deal, from Detroit\u2019s perspective, are all names we\u2019ve heard before. Detroit is sending out Isaiah Stewart (to the Memphis Grizzlies), Caris LeVert (to the Milwaukee Bucks), and Marcus Sasser (to the Dallas Mavericks). Incoming to the Pistons will be John Collins (from the Los Angeles Clippers), and Taurean Prince and Gary Harris (from the Bucks).<\/p>\n
The deal is unofficially even bigger than it looks because the draft considerations Detroit received from the Grizzlies for Stewart are the exact picks Detroit sent to Memphis as it moved up the draft board on NBA Draft night to select Ebuka Okorie at No. 17.<\/p>\n
Here is how the trade officially breaks down for all involved.<\/p>\n
Dallas Mavericks Receive:<\/p>\n
Memphis Grizzlies Receive:<\/p>\n
Washington Wizards Receive:<\/p>\n
Los Angeles Clippers Receive:<\/p>\n
Because several players were traded for draft picks, there are also some sizeable trade-player exceptions involved that will expire in a year, will likely go unused, but are always helpful to have at your disposal in case the right kind of deal presents itself.<\/p>\n
Several of the teams are also hard-capped because of players obtained in sign-and-trade deals, including the Pistons.<\/p>\n
Here is a not-so-helpful visual representation of the deal, included just because it\u2019s kind of funny. When the deal is represented on the basketball-reference transaction log, it will also look like an Infinite Jest-sized chunk of text.<\/p>\n
Who is the most important player in this deal? John Collins? Isaiah Stewart? Santi Aldama? Who knows. But it\u2019s done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NBA has captured the Detroit Pistons mega-trade that includes five other teams, 10 players, and a handful…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":789020,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[49,48,459,278749,82],"class_list":["post-789019","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nba","tag-pistons-news","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/789019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=789019"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/789019\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/789020"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=789019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=789019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=789019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
