The Detroit Pistons spent most of their cap space to take on the expiring contract of Joe Harris as their “big move” of the offseason so far.
Try to contain your excitement.
Financially, the Harris trade makes sense, as Detroit clearly wasn’t comfortable (or able) going into big-time money or years for any of the available free agents fans were hoping to see come to the Motor City.
It seems like the Pistons should have gotten more for $20 million that the Nets needed to clear to be able to retain Cam Johnson, but Detroit did pick up a big expiring contract of a guy who is still one of the best 3-point shooters in the league, got two second-round picks, and didn’t have to give up anything but cap space to get it.
