The Golden State Warriors have agreed to trade James Wiseman to the Detroit Pistons, while Saddiq Bey will be moved to the Atlanta Hawks.
Atlanta will send five second round picks to the Warriors. The Warriors will save significantly on salary and luxury tax in trading away Wiseman.
Wiseman is the former No. 2 pick in the draft and the Pistons have previously acquired Marvin Bagley as a second draft prospect who similarly struggled with the Sacramento Kings. According to James L. Edwards III of The Athletic, the Pistons had Wiseman as the top player on their big board during the 2020 draft process. The Pistons believe Wiseman has a higher upside than Bey moving forward.
Kevin Knox will also be included in the deal with the Pistons sending him to the Warriors.
