The Detroit Pistons have traded forwards Marvin Bagley III and Isaiah Livers and two future second-round draft picks to the Washington Wizards for Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala, according to transfer sources.
The deal gives $12.5 million in Bagley’s guaranteed money for 2024-25 off the books for the Pistons.
The rest of the players involved in the trade — Gallinari ($6.8 million), Muscala ($3.5 million) and Livers ($1.8 million) — are on expiring contracts.
The Pistons (3-36) and Wizards (7-31) are in the bottom two spots in the Eastern Conference standings.
The Pistons have been trying to add more manpower to their team and Gallinari and Muscala can help Detroit in limited roles this season.
Bagley averaged 10.2 points and 4.5 rebounds on 59.1% shooting in 18.4 minutes per game this season for the Pistons.
He was the Sacramento Kings’ second overall pick in the 2018 NBA draft out of Duke and was traded to the Pistons in 2021.
