The Detroit Pistons didn’t waste time making moves on the first day of free agency.
They traded most of their cap space to the Nets for Joe Harris and two second-round picks, then flipped a second rounder to the Wizards for veteran point guard Monte Morris.
These were not the moves fans were dreaming of, but the Pistons clearly weren’t comfortable giving a massive contract to any of the free agents available on the market.
The Pistons would have had to go way over the top of $108 million to steal Cameron Johnson, as it became clear the Nets were going to match nearly any offer.
