Detroit Pistons Making Moves: Adding Cap Space and New Shooters

NBA – Detroit Pistons with Capspace im Sommer

In addition to cap space, the Pistons also get two capable shooters, shooting is one of the many problems Detroit has this season. The Pistons have only won three games and, apart from a win against Toronto, they have suffered a whopping 35 defeats. The Wizards are also in a much better position (7-31).

By trading Bagley, the Pistons are also slimming down their frontcourt rotation; with Jalen Duren, Isaiah Stewart and the upcoming restricted free agent, the Pistons have three more young big men who all need playing time. This season, Bagley put up 10.2 points and 4.5 rebounds with a rate of 59 percent from the field for Detroit, but recently the big has hardly been used under new coach Monty Williams.

Bagley came to Detroit in February 2022, but the Pistons put two second-round picks on the table in a four-team trade with the Sacramento Kings, Milwaukee Bucks and the LA Clippers. In the summer, Detroit gave the big a three-year contract worth 37.5 million dollars.

Bagley was drafted by the Kings with the second pick in the 2018 draft, right behind Deandre Ayton, after whom Luka Doncic was selected by the Atlanta Hawks (he was traded directly to Dallas). But Bagley was never able to live up to expectations and there were numerous injuries. In 234 games, the former Dukie put up 12.9 points and 6.9 rebounds with a field shooting rate of 51.2 percent.
