AUBURN HILLS – The last time Tony Snell got traded, things worked out A-OK.
After three years with the Chicago Bulls – the team that drafted him with the 20th overall pick in 2013 – Snell got traded on the eve of the 2016-17 season to Milwaukee. He wound up starting 80 games for a playoff team and earned a four-year, $46 million contract.
So getting traded under similar circumstances – to another Central Division team with a clear need for what he brings – didn’t exactly traumatize Snell when he learned last week that he’d be joining the Pistons for the 2018-19 season.
