DETROIT – The Detroit Pistons have landed point guard Dennis Schröder from the Utah Jazz in a multi-team blockbuster deal.

After working out a deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, acquiring K.J. Martin and two draft picks, the Milwaukee Bucks' second-round pick in 2027, and the Dallas Mavericks' second-round pick in 2031.

According to The Stein Line, the Pistons sent the Utah Jazz Martin, Josh Richardson, and a 2028 second-round draft pick to receive Schröder.

Initially, Schröder was part of the five-team deal that sent him, Andrew Wiggins, Kyle Anderson, and a protected first-round pick to the Miami Heat for disgruntled NBA star Jimmy Butler to the Warriors.

Then more news grew as Schröder was headed to the Jazz and Anderson was headed to the Toronto Raptors.

Then, the Pistons joined the trade party by acquiring Lindy Waters III from the Warriors and Richardson from the Heat in a multi-team deal.

Then it was reported that Schröder was sent to the Jazz, Anderson was sent to the Raptors, and sneaker king P.J. Tucker was being sent to the Heat.

Now that the trade deadline has ended as of Thursday (Feb. 6) at 3 p.m., the complete updated transaction is as follows:

Golden State:

F Jimmy Butler

Miami Heat:

F Kyle Anderson

G Davion Mitchell

F Andrew Wiggins

Protected first-round pick

Detroit Pistons:

G Dennis Schröder

Toronto Raptors:

F P.J. Tucker

2026 second-round pick (via Los Angeles Lakers)

Cash considerations

Utah Jazz:

F K.J. Martin

G Josh Richardson

2028 second-round draft pick

Now that the dust has settled, the Pistons have found their backup point guard in Schröder, 31, who is averaging 14.4 points and 5.5 assists while shooting 41.8% from the field and 35.8% beyond the arc this season.

The Pistons needed some much-needed help in the backcourt, as Jaden Ivey is still nursing a lower leg injury.

Pistons head coach J. B. Bickerstaff said the three-year-guard was progressing and continuing to meet with doctors.

With that in mind, Schröder’s veteran presence, leadership, and name cache could help the Pistons clinch the sixth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference or at least be in the play-in tournament as they currently sit in the seventh spot at 25-26.
