Things have been pretty quiet at this year’s NBA trade deadline but we have one of our first moves before Thursday.
Per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski , “The Utah Jazz are trading Simone [Fontecchio] to the Detroit Pistons for a 2024 second-round pick.”
Wojnarowski also reported that “Kevin Knox, a 2024 second-round pick via Wizards and draft rights to Gabriele Procida to go Jazz in deal.”
