Excluding the Pistons players in the trade all of the main players involved in were mentioned as potentially being available on HoopsRumors.com over the past 2 days.
James Wiseman: https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2022/11/warriors-notes-wiseman-thompson-poole-start-meeting.html
Immanuel Quickley (everyone knows the Knicks would love to move on from Fournier): https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2022/11/knicks-open-to-discussing-immanuel-quickley-derrick-rose.html
Wil Barton: https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2022/11/southeast-notes-hornets-bridges-wizards-mitchell-magic.html
The struggling Warriors look to shore up their 2nd unit with the versatile and sweet shooting Alex Burks who will likely combine with Poole to split the backup minutes at PG/SG/SF. Golden state will have the option to keep Burks for $10.5M next season or can send him packing without any financial penalty
PROJECTED WARRIORS DEPTH CHART AFTER TRADE
C: Looney, J Green
PF: D Green, Kuminga, Baldwin
SF: Wiggins, Burks, Iguadola
SG: Thompson, Divicenzo, Moody
PG: Curry, Poole, Jerome
The Wizards bring in vet Cory Joseph to help stabilize the PG spot as the team deals with injuries. The young, freakishly athletic Hamidou Diallo will take over Bartons role as a backup wing option. Nerlens Noel gives the Wiz a strong defender, rebounder, rim protector & good size with plenty of playoff experience to bring off their bench.
PROJECTED WIZARDS DEPTH CHART AFTER TRADE
C: Porzingis, Gafford, Noel
PF: Kuzma, Hachimura, Carey
SF: Advija, Diallo, Gill
SG: Beal, Kispert, (Wright)
PG: Morris, Joseph, (Goodwin)
THe Knicks finally find a taker for Fourniers contract and clear out a log jam at PG by sending Quickley to Detroit. Wil Barton should find minutes as a backup wing. Coach Thibs fav Taj Gibson was brought back to help shore up their big man depth while Robinson is out. The #1 pick the Knicks are sending to DET is heavily protected through 2027 (would then become two #2's) and likely has much more value to the Pistons then it does to any other team
PROJECTED KNICKS DEPTH CHART AFTER TRADE
C: Hartenstein, Gibson (Robinson)
PF: Randle, Toppin, Sims
SF: Barrett, Barton, Mykhailiuk
SG: Reddish, Grimes, Arcidiacono
PG: Brunson, Rose, McBride
The Pistons become the beneficiary of the disappointing Warriors looking to trade for veteran talent. C James Wiseman will get the time he needs to develop without all the pressure of playing for a title contender as he slots in as the 3rd center. Detroit takes on Fournier's albatross of a contract to get back a previously traded #1 of theirs (which gives DET full control of all their future picks and will now allow them to trade multiple #1's if/when needed) He will take over Burks former role of a scoring wing off the bench. 21 year old year PG Immanuel Quickley should see big minutes with Cade Cunningham sidelined indefinitely by a leg injury. Isiah Todd will gives the team a stretch 4/5 option among the bigs.
PROJECTED PISTONS DEPTH CHART AFTER TRADE
C: Bagley, Duren, Wiseman
PF: Stewart, Bey, Todd
SF: Bogdonovic, Livers, Knox
SG: Ivey, Fournier, McGruder
PG: Hayes, Quickley, (Cunningham)
