The Detroit Pistons made a bad decision even worse in releasing Dzanan Musa to trim the roster to the maximum 15 spots as the NBA seasons approaches. Musa, if you recall, was obtained in the team’s trade of Bruce Brown with Detroit also receiving a low future second-round pick.
This essentially means the rebuilding Detroit Pistons not only traded a productive 24-year-old incumbent guard who was the team’s best perimeter defender on the team last season in Brown, but they traded him for essentially nothing. Or, worse than that, they traded him so that they could instead have 29-year-old Rodney McGruder on the team.
