Detroit Pistons Acquire Joe Harris in Trade, Shifting Free Agency Focus
The Detroit Pistons have acquired Joe Harris and two future second-round picks from the Brooklyn Nets in a salary-clearing move. This trade signals that the Pistons are not pursuing a big free agent this offseason and are instead focusing on clearing cap space for the future. While Harris fills a need as an outside shooter, the Pistons still need to address their defensive needs at the wing. Pursuing restricted free agent Cameron Johnson is unlikely, and former Piston Jerami Grant has reportedly agreed to a deal with the Portland Trail Blazers. The Pistons will rely on internal player development and evaluate the trade market to make further improvements.
