DETROIT — In the waning hours of the NBA's trade deadline, Pistons general manager Troy Weaver shook up the roster with a trade — his third consecutive deadline-day deal since taking over in 2020.
The Pistons (14-42) were fresh off a brutal 113-85 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers and with the second-worst record in the league, it appears that standing pat was not an option.
Detroit dealt third-year forward Saddiq Bey and Kevin Knox II to the Golden State Warriors, a league source told The Detroit News on Thursday, in exchange for James Wiseman, a 7-foot center who adds to the Pistons' bevy of big men. Neither of the former Pistons is expected to remain with the Warriors, who reportedly had separate deals in place to send Bey to the Atlanta Hawks, and Knox to the Portland Trail Blazers.
