The Detroit Pistons have traded Isaiah Stewart, their longest-tenured player, to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for three second-round picks, a league source confirmed to The Athletic.
The move clears Stewart’s salary off the Pistons’ books. He is slated to make $15 million in each of the next two seasons, with the second a team option.
Stewart, 25, averaged 10 points and 5 rebounds in 58 games last season. The Grizzlies will use a trade exception to absorb Stewart’s salary.
