The NBA Trade Deadline may not be until tomorrow, but the Detroit Pistons got things started early on Wednesday.
Mark Stein is reporting that Detroit has acquired forward KJ Martin and two second round picks from the Philadelphia 76ers. Funny enough, Detroit gives up nothing here as they will absorb Martin’s 2-year, $16M deal — the second year is completely non-gauranteed — into their cap space in exchange for second round picks from the Milwaukee Bucks in 2027 and Dallas Mavericks in 2031.
Basically, Philly wants the freedom to scour the buyout market.
