NOVEMBER 22: The Jazz have officially announced their deal with the Pistons, confirming in a press release that they received cash from the Pistons in exchange for Bradley and the rights to No. 38 pick Saben Lee. Detroit has already agreed to flip Bradley to Philadelphia in a separate deal.
NOVEMBER 18: The Jazz have agreed to trade center Tony Bradley and the No. 38 pick to the Pistons for cash considerations, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN (Twitter links).
Bradley, 22, appeared in 58 regular-season games last season, averaging 4.9 PPG and 4.6 RPG in 11.4 MPG. Bradley will be entering his fourth season after spending most of his first two seasons in the G League.
Bradley has a $3.54MM guaranteed contract for the upcoming season and could be a restricted free agent if Detroit extends a $5.277MM qualifying offer next offseason.
Utah’s motivation for the trade was to open more cap room and increase roster flexibility, ESPN’s Bobby Marks tweets. The Jazz have made re-signing unrestricted free agent guard Jordan Clarkson a top priority.
[UPDATE: Jazz, Jordan Clarkson agree to four-year deal]
Detroit has been arguably the busiest team this week, with new GM Troy Weaver completely reshaping the roster by acquiring assets and adding young players. The Pistons made three first-round selections, via their own lottery pick and a pair of draft-night trades.
Weaver going hog wild!!! Lol!
Grab Hughes or Scrubb and make it complete!
That’s good for Utah. But Detroit already has big men Justin Patton and thon maker and I don’t see all three of them playing on Detroit
Maker is gone. Patton may not make theteam.
Tony Bradley has shown very little in his 3 years. Wouldn’t be surprised if they cut him and keep patton
Patton was traded to the Clippers
Bradley has good activity. Pistons might hope for another Wood, if they offer a chance like Wood got. And Wood may be leaving. Well Utah will be trying their firstrounder there.
Why would Wood leave when the Pistons own his Bird Rights? They can pay him more than anyone & he’s going to be excited about the new direction. He can be a leader. He’s signing & staying.
Pistons are Hawks are wild!!
Michael Jordan and LaMelo Ball are wild!!
