The Pistons plan to sign Alondes Williams and Cole Swider , who were both placed on waivers this weekend, to two-way contracts, sources tell Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter links ).
Williams, a 25-year-old shooting guard, was released by the Clippers earlier today. He signed a two-way contract with Miami in February and made brief appearances in seven games. He also got into one game with Brooklyn during the 2022/23 season.
Swider, a 25-year-old small forward, was let go by the Pacers on Friday. He spent all of last season on a two-way deal with Miami, averaging 2.3 PPG in 18 games. He played seven games with the Lakers in 2022/23.
Williams and Swider will have to clear waivers before they can sign with Detroit. The 48-hour waiting period means Swider will become a free agent on Sunday and Williams will be available on Monday if they don’t get claimed.
The Pistons currently have 13 players with fully guaranteed contracts, along with Paul Reed , whose $7.7MM salary is non-guaranteed. Daniss Jenkins currently holds the team’s lone two-way deal.
