MONTE MORRIS PICKED UP BY PISTONS
The Detroit Pistons acquired guard Monte Morris from the Washington Wizards for a second-round draft pick in 2027.
What does it give the Detroit Pistons
Morris is an experienced point guard who will likely play a backup role in Detroit behind Cade Cunningham. Morris is reliable and dependable, so his veteran presence should help.
What does it give the Washington Wizards
The Wizards added Tyus Jones in a separate deal, which made Morris expendable. So, Washington moved him to Detroit and got back a second-rounder in '27. It is a modest return.
Fantasy impact
In most fantasy leagues, Morris will not be much of a factor as a backup in Detroit. That said, Cunningham has been hurt a lot to start his NBA career, so Cunningham owners could do worse than to grab Morris as a fantasy handcuff.
