11:33am: The move is official, tweets Omari Sankofa II of The Detroit Free Press.
8:16am: The Pistons will waive swingman Dzanan Musa, a source tells Rod Beard of The Detroit News.
Musa will still earn $2,002,800 for the season as Detroit had 16 players in camp with guaranteed contracts. His $3,615,054 team option for 2021/22 will be voided unless he’s claimed on waivers.
The move will bring the roster down to 15 players on standard contracts, although Detroit still has an open two-way slot.
Musa was acquired from the Nets last month in a three-team trade that also brought Rodney McGruder and the draft rights to Saddiq Bey, the 19th pick this year. Musa spent two years in Brooklyn and averaged 4.8 points and 2.2 rebounds in 40 games last season.
dam dis sucks. imagine being a first round pick and then getting dumped to another team and then released. lol. much of da first rounder from last years draft were busts
Huh?
i mean lots of ppl expected musa to be a developing star but instead lol he got traded in just a season and then cut by da pistons
Musa was drafted 29th overall in 2018. The guy right before and the dude right after we’re traded by the Wolves to the Knicks last month. 28/Evans (warriors) was cut while 30/Omar Spellman kept a spot but is the 3rd string center for the Knicks. The back of the ‘18 draft has yet to impress.
He had his time to shine and he cpildnt get it done. On to the next. This is not the league for weaklings and babies. It is the NBA not the national baby association. Hes a grown up hell get over it!
So after all Troy Weaver traded both Kennard & 4x2nd + Brown for a 19th pick and McGruder + 2/5M in books … After Plumlee 8M deal that is a massive BS deal :/
