Detroit Pistons continue making trades, land Zhaire Smith from Philadelphia 76ers
It's a new week, but the Detroit Pistons are still making moves a week nearly after the NBA's trade moratorium lifted.
The Pistons traded Tony Bradley to the Philadelphia 76ers and received Zhaire Smith in return, ESPN reported on Sunday. The trade brings some balance to a center-heavy roster, as Smith is a 6-foot-5 wing.
The 16th pick of the 2018 NBA draft, Smith has only played 13 games in two seasons partially due to injury struggles. A fractured foot and an allergic reaction delayed his rookie debut to March of 2019, and he only played seven games his freshman season.

He spent much of his sophomore season in the G League with the Philadelphia Blue Coats, and averaged 13.5 points while hitting 53% of his shots and 37.6% of his 4.2 3-point attempts per game.
