Wizards Make Trade With Detroit Pistons
Things have continued to go south for the Washington Wizards. They are now tied to have the second worst record in the NBA at 7-31 with the San Antonio Spurs. The team with the worst record happens to be the Detroit Pistons at 3-36. Ironically, it only makes sense that these two teams would want to shake things up a bit to save their season.
The Wizards and Pistons have been in talks to improve their roster. They finally were able to strike a deal and make it happen! Here are the trade details for both teams:
Washington Wizards Acquire:
F/C Marvin Bagley
G/F Isaiah Livers
2025 Second Round Pick
2026 Second Round Pick
Detroit Pistons Acquire:
F Danilo Gallinari
F Mike Muscala
We had a really good feeling Danilo Gallinari was going to get traded out of Washington. He isn’t the young all star that he used to be. He is now 35 years of age now. While he can still shoot with the best of them, he has physical limitations that has limited him playing a large role for the Wizards thus far this season. He has missed quite a few games simply due to rest.
Mike Muscala is another guy who has been around the block quite a bit in the NBA. While he is only 32 years old, the Pistons will be his seventh team he has played for thus far in his NBA Career. He is another guy that the Wizards didn’t play much.
With the addition of Marvin Bagley along with Isaiah Livers, the Wizards welcome not one but two regular rotation guys who can help the Wizards win now. The Wizards also welcome in more draft compensation as well! This for sure is a win now and win later deal for the Washington Wizards.
