Stepien

Consecutive draft years 2025 & 2026 would be missing a 1st round pick. The pick for 2025 may be traded away on draft day after the team officially makes their selection.

Must Waive Players

Detroit would have 16 standard contract players after the trade and would need to waive 1 player.

Financial

Pistons are unable to complete this trade. Since they are not an over apron team, and they are sending out less then $7,500,000 in salary, they are only able to take back 200% of the salary they are sending out, plus $250,000.

Pistons can only take back $250K in salary based on the amount they are sending out.

Cut $16.7M from the Pistons incoming trade value to make this trade successful for the Pistons.
