It’s the second trade of the day for Detroit after acquiring Simone Fontecchio from the Jazz earlier in the day. The NBA Trade Deadline is Thursday.

Morris was brought in last offseason but only played a handful of games after an injury.

Milton, 27, has played in 38 games this season, averaging just four points a game. Brown Jr. has about the same stats.

The Pistons have won a league-worst six games this season.
