The Philadelphia 76ers have agreed to trade Danuel House and a 2024 second round pick via the New York Knicks to the Detroit Pistons.
With the transaction, the Sixers create a salary cap cushion to sign potential buyout players. House was on an expiring $4.3 million contract putting the Sixers $2.7 million below the luxury tax.
The Sixers have been linked with Kyle Lowry should he agree to a buyout with the Charlotte Hornets.
The Oklahoma City have agreed to acquire Gordon Hayward from the Charlotte Hornets for Tre Mann and Davis Bertans.
Hayward is on a $31.5 million expiring contract and wasn’t planning on seeking a buyout if he were not traded.
The Philadelphia 76ers have agreed to acquire Buddy Hield from the Indiana Pacers for Marcus Morris, Furkan Korkmaz and three second round picks.
Hield is in the final season of a four-year, $94 million deal and will be a free agent this offseason.
In 52 games this season, Hield is averaging 12.0 points on 38.4 percent shooting on three-pointers. Hield is a career 40.1 percent three-point shooter.
Hield is represented by Diana Day.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are acquiring Monte Morris from the Detroit Pistons for Troy Brown Jr., Shake Milton and a 2030 second-round pick from the Timberwolves.
Minnesota had looked into several options to upgrade their point guard position behind Mike Conley ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline. They ultimately landed on Morris, who was drafted in 2017 by Wolves front office executive Tim Connelly when he ran the Nuggets.
Detroit will need to cut or trade another player to complete this 2-for-1 deal. Detroit continues the reshaping of their roster, as they previously agreed to a trade for Simone Fontecchio of the Utah Jazz earlier in the day.
