Dennis Schroder Joins Pistons in Multi-Team Trade

The Detroit Pistons have acquired veteran point guard Dennis Schroder as part of a multi-team trade involving Jimmy Butler, who moved from the Miami Heat to the Golden State Warriors. Schroder, who has played for several teams this season including the Brooklyn Nets, Warriors, and Utah Jazz, provides the Pistons with much-needed depth in their backcourt following Jaden Ivey's fibula injury. Schroder is averaging 14.4 points and 5.5 assists per game this season, and his experience is expected to bolster the Pistons' playoff aspirations in the tightly contested Eastern Conference. The trade also rerouted K.J. Martin and Josh Richardson to the Jazz along with a second-round pick. This deal marks Schroder's fourth team change this season, underscoring his role as a valuable asset in the league's trade market.
