A year after signing Mason Plumlee in free agency, the Detroit Pistons agreed to trade him to the Charlotte Hornets in a cap-related move first reported by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
How might the Pistons utilize the cap flexibility created by trading Plumlee after taking Cade Cunningham with the No. 1 pick in the draft? And why did the Hornets prefer adding him to using cap space themselves?
The deal
Hornets get: Mason Plumlee, 2021 second-round pick (No. 37)
Pistons get: 2021 second-round pick (No. 57)
