n the final day of the trade deadline, Troy Weaver sent combo guard Delon Wright to the Sacramento Kings for 10-year veteran Cory Joseph. At the time, it appeared the logic behind the move was to free cap space for the 2021 free agency period. However, in 19 games for the Detroit Pistons, Joseph posted career-high numbers across the board and provided the Pistons with savvy point guard play and much-needed leadership. Joseph’s late-season production earned him a new two-year $10.07 million contract, ensuring his services as a rotational guard in the team’s ‘restoration’ process (unless the upcoming trade deadline has anything to say about it).
