Wolves trade Wendell Moore Jr. to Detroit and bail out on draft's second day

Round 2 of the NBA draft hadn't started Thursday before the Wolves made another trade, this time dealing the No. 37 pick and guard Wendell Moore Jr. to Detroit while receiving the No. 53 pick in return.

Later the Wolves moved to No. 57 by trading the 53rd pick to Memphis, then dealt the 57th to Toronto, leaving them with no picks in the second round.

The move appears to be a slight cost cutting move while freeing up an open roster spot by sending Moore to the Pistons. Moore was set to make a little more than $2.
