TRADE ALERT: Detroit Pistons Trade For Simone Fontecchio, Send Kevin Knox And 2nd Round Pick To Utah
Turns out the Detroit Pistons will make a move before the trade deadline as they have traded Kevin Knox Gabriel proa and a second round pick to the Utah Jazz for Simone fonio we’re going to talk about what this deal means if this helps the Pistons was it a good deal in today’s

And we talked about how we didn’t expect the Detroit Pistons to make any trades that if I had to bet my money I would bet on them going past this deadline without making any move and potentially if any move would be just moving Killian Hayes off the team Well turns like turns
Out I was wrong the Detroit Pistons have made a deal for the Utah Jazz forward Simone fono come to the Detroit Pistons for Kevin Knox a 2024 second round pick that’s from the Washington Wizards I believe it’s the better of the Washington Wizards or Memphis Grizzlies
Pick either way it’s GNA be a very early second round pick and the draft rides to Gabriel proa um immediate reaction to this deal um I thought this was actually a really good deal by Troy Weaver I I think this was a Savvy move by him um
Kevin Knox is a journeyman and he was fine I guess for the Pistons and I saying someone was fine for the Pistons and route to them having like six wins and potentially not getting to 10 wins I don’t maybe is not saying much but he
Was fine um he was also a player that wasn’t in the NBA before this the Pistons signed him after like two weeks into the season so giving him up isn’t a big deal at all um the draft rights to Gabriel proo from my understanding it
Was not likely he was ever going to come over to the United States and play for the Pistons now he may come over to the United States and play for whoever else has his rights but for the Pistons it wasn’t likely going to happen um and
Then also Al uh the second round pick that they’re giving up it’s not their own second round pick it is an early second round pick but if you can move a second round pick for a player that will be a rotation player for you that can be
An impactful player for you there’s no problem with doing that like for example let’s before we get into Simone fonio and him as a player if you have a second round pick that turns out to be a Simone fanto um like that’s a win that a role
Player for your team in the second round that’s a win so I have no no issues at all with this and you got a player I believe can be pretty impactful for the Detroit Pistons now I’ve watched fonio a few times this season I’ve watched the
Jazz play quite a few times for some reason I don’t know but each time I tweeted this out when they made the deal each time I’ve watched the Jazz play he’s jumped off the screen to me he’s someone that I I I’ve looked at I’m like
Damn the Pistons he he could do some good things for the Pistons he would really help the Pistons he’s every time I’ve watched him he’s jumped off the screen to me and he destroyed the Pistons really took it to the Pistons and uh um at LCA earlier in the season
Um so he’s someone that I know I wasn’t the only one who thought that I saw a few other Pistons people in the community um talk about fonio at other points throughout the season saying he’s a good sneaky player that maybe they could pick up that would help them um
I’m not I’m not trying to say I was oh the one person who thought oh that guy might help the Pistons I saw plenty of other people saying you know for a few months that fono may be a sneaky pickup um so I think he’s going to help um for
Those people out there who are not familiar with who fonio is fonio is a 28-year old 68 forward um again he’s 28 I believe let me just confirm this um yes this is his second NBA season um his first year did not go swimmingly but this season
He’s having a great year he’s shooting 45% from the field 39% from Deep on 4.7 attempts or nearly five attempts a game he’s shooting 56% on all twos and he’s averaging nine points a game 3.5 rebounds 1.5 assists um again this guy is not some Superstar he’s not some you
Know he’s not going to be some great player for the Pistons but he serves what you need for this team he is a big Wing who can shoot the basketball and he’s a better Defender than probably every other wing on this team besides assar Thompson he’s a better Defender
Than bu bonovich he was a better Defender than Kevin Knox he was a better Defender this year than Isaiah livers like he is a better Defender than all those guys and he is a guy who doesn’t just shoot catch and shoot threes he is a movement shooter he can shoot off the
Screen he can shoot coming off pin Downs he can shoot off dribble um this this season on handoffs he’s shooting or not shooting he’s in the 82nd percentile this year coming off handoffs coming off screens he’s in the 65th percentile which Synergy has ranked as very good um
A crazy thing about him um this season is actually a weird there’s a few players in the NBA that are like this but on guarded catch and shoots he’s one of the best in the entire NBA he’s in the 95th percentile on AR unguarded catch and shoot threes he’s nowhere near
As good he’s in the 25th percentile so I don’t know or the 24th percentile I don’t know how you know what’s up with that some players I guess just shoot better when they’re contested I don’t know but off the dribble jumpers he’s also really good 84th percentile this
Dude can just flat out shoot the basketball all jump shots 82 percentile he is a big Wing that can straight up shoot the basketball with it’s catch and shoot coming off screens coming off dribbles anything this dude will let it fly he’s going to be a great shooter for
The Detroit Pistons also again like I said I really want to put emphasis on him being a better Defender than any other Wing it’s not like he’s a fantastic Defender it’s not like he’s an all NBA Defender but he is a better Defender than buan is he is a better
Defender than Kevin Knox was he’s better Defender than all these other guys on the Pistons rotation in the Pistons rotation that are wings besides assar Thompson so I think that is a massive pickup he is going to be the the three in D player that the Pistons have been
Needing for years that that they initially expected sadique Bay to be except fonio actually can be that something I’m actually interested in seeing is I actually sneakily believe that assar fanto may work a lot better than assar and boan because of the reasoning uh fonio is better than buan
On defense and fonio doesn’t need the ball in his hands as much to provide his value boan is a better shot Creator he’s going to take the ball he’s going to run a pick and roll he’s going to try to get to his shot he’s going to post up take
Up usage he’s going to require usage I think a lineup of I’m really interested in seeing a lineup of Cade Ivy assar fonio and Duren because fonio is not gonna be someone that needs to soak up touches he’s not someone who needs to soak up usage and he’s going to Feast
Off of playing with other Playmakers like Cade Ivy assar Barren all on the lineup guys where he’s gonna be go watch some of his highlights the movement that he has he’s constantly running around the three-point line he’s constantly moving he knows how to relocate he’s hitting off the dribble threes he’s
Hitting fadeaway threes coming off pin Downs like I think that he may fit perfect perly with the core four in that Laine because he doesn’t require High usage and also because he’s not just a Blow by defensively he actually is someone who can defend um so I very much
Like this pickup I think this is one of those on the edges pickups that the Pistons have been needing to make um were it sounded like that was GNA be one of the moves they were going to try to make um rather than a big move I think
This is probably one of the best ones they could have done they didn’t give up anything really of value I don’t believe the second round pick is a fine second round pick but i it’s like I I think that’s fine value for the guy that you’re getting um also he is a
Restricted free agent this offseason and according to wo the Pistons plan on him being around the team for a few years into the future he’s 28 he can grow with this team um as a veteran as a guy you know who’s played basketball for a long time overseas um I saw someone tweak
This and it’s a it’s completely true it’s far more likely than fonio is on the Pistons next playoff team than it is boam bonovich is so I I don’t expect him to leave in the off seon I completely expect the Pistons to match resign him
Before he even has to go into research a free agency um I really like this deal I think this is a good deal by the Pistons is it drastically changing everything for the Pistons no but I think if there’s one takeaway um if there if there’s one like future big picture
Takeaway to have from this trade I think it’s that it’s clear I’m sure a lot of people already thought this but I think this trade kind of makes it even more clear that this front office and ownership fully believes that if this young Corp simply had qual the role
Players around them not stars now yes obviously a star could help them but they don’t need a star they believe that if they simply had quality role players around them instead of some of the worst players in the NBA this season would not have gotten out of hand as it is they
Believe that they simply had veteran role players guys who could space the floor guys who who are like the six seven eight nine man on your team simply playing 15 to 20 minutes if they had some of those guys that this season would not have been as bad as it’s been
And you can blame them for that being the case it shouldn’t have taken till February 7th for them to go acquire a guy some guy or some guys in muscala obviously a few weeks ago and galinari a few weeks ago it shouldn’t have taken them this long they should have acquired
That in the off season so they didn’t have to wait for the season to get out of hand to do so but it’s clear to me that that’s their belief that if they just surround these guys with role players and and guys who fit what they need rather than going and getting Stars
They think this season wouldn’t have gotten out of hand and they think they can still build something with them moving forward without having to go big fish hunting now I do expect them to go big fish hunting in the off season I I I expect them to do that but again I think
That’s also another belief of theirs that they could have just gotten role players in the season would have been okay everyone would have been happy maybe not playoffs but it wouldn’t have been this bad so we’ll see how it looks for the rest of the year um we’ll see if
They make any other moves we’ll talk about that a little bit later but overall this trade I’d give Troy Weaver a B+ on this trade I think it’s a good move um by the Detroit Pistons but let me know in the comments section down below or over on Twitter CER Hill how do
You guys feel about this trade do you guys think it was a good trade do you guys know anything about fono what do you think about him do you think he’s going to help the team what Lupes are you interested in watching and seeing with him on the floor let me know all

Podcast Network your team every single day so does acquiring Simone bonio make buan banovich more Expendable well the quick answer to me is yes and no one I say yes because they should have been trying to move Buon none less even without acquiring fonio like we talked about in the last episode the
Detroit Pistons season is over it is done it’s absolutely done with and buan is a partial guarantee this off season along with Burks who is a expiring contract and Monte Morris who’s expiring contract those guys um it’s in my opinion that the Detroit Pistons as I had the opinion last year
Of this is to move off of these guys and get value for them get get value for them in a season that is absolutely lost instead of losing them for nothing or trying to bring them back which is another thing we talked about in the last episode I don’t understand why
There’s some people that really want the Pistons to just bring back some of these same Guys these guys are a part of a team that is rivaling the worst record in NBA history by the 1973 Philadelphia 76ers like that’s the history they’re fighting with why everyone so attached
To those guys instead of just going out and building a new type of team in the off season around your main guys just it confuses me but nonetheless I believe you should be trying to move off Buon anyways and get assets whatever you can for the offseason where you go after
This big splash that everyone’s been talking about into this offseason in 2024 now you have more assets to deal some more picks um to deal with along with the cap space you’re going to have so that’s just my opinion um so acquiring fio if you were to move boan
Whether it’s for another player um or if it’s for more assets or whatever it’s for you have a guy who is a sniper who can hit movement threes who can play some defense and can slide into that starring lineup without a problem I think I think that I I think that’s fine
He started most of the season for the Utah Jazz on the Utah Jazz were um three points better with him on the floor I believe yeah 3.1 points better with him on the floor this season so he started a lot most of their games this year if you
Were to move Bo on you could definitely just slide him in I think ‘d be fine for sure I again this is a hot take for me there is this I I have some belief that a cade IV fonio assar Duran lineup may be better than a cade Ivy boan assar
Duran lineup but we’ll see how that is I know that’s a sneaky hot take but I have a level belief that that would be the case nonetheless um that’s my reasoning for yes no it doesn’t make boon more Expendable because this team really likes Buon and
They don’t want to move Buon period it seems like so whether they acquire another shooter or not it doesn’t seem like they want to move off of Buon one and two you can never have too many shooters so if they want to keep Buon and keep fono as well to just base the
Floor and run a lineup maybe with both of them on the floor next de Cade or with Ivy or whatever you know then yeah I could see that working as well like you can never have too much shooting as you can see the piss are one of the
Worst three-point shooting teams in the league and it’s been like that for a minute they’ve needed shooting for a while you g never have too much shooting so while I believe let me H the Nicks and Pistons have been in trade discussions around TR Alec Burks
Per W GN NBA today um that’s my live reaction to that just got that notification that’s why you guys have been seeing me look down at my phone during the ep the episode because we’re starting to see a lot of trade rumors and trade talk get leaked out as soon as
The Pistons made their deal um I’m interested to see what the Knicks do with Alec Burks then if the Pistons do trade Alec Burks index I wonder if the Pistons can get their first round pick somehow I don’t know if they need to ATT something they probably would need to
Attach something to Alec burgs but I wonder if they can get their first round pick back or maybe the mick want give the Pistons Grimes like who knows I’m really interested in that I I think that’s a I think that could be a sneaky good trade for the Pistons depending on
What they can get back I think there’s definitely some assets over there that they could take for Alec bur but it depends what the Knicks want to give up and then obviously we’ve talked about how Marcus sassler can step into Alec burs I’m sure they want to you know give
Marcus aser more minutes and like I said he can step in alab bur’s role immediately instead of having to go his replacement um but anywayss going back to what makes Bo is is this making buan more Expendable sorry I had to give my reaction to that um no because like I
Said you you don’t you can never have too much shooting so as much as I I would trade Buon if they did keep Bo on it I I think it would be a mistake but I guess it wouldn’t be the end of the world and it’s not like it it keeping
Boy I makes your team worse he definitely wouldn’t make the team worse I don’t think obviously um so I I think yes and no if they would like to move on Buon if they is a dealer comes around I’m sure looking at the fact that they have fonio is like okay
Well yeah maybe we may be able to survive and it’ll be fine without him I’m sure they can you know that’s true while also same thing being true that we don’t really want to move off a Bo on we want to keep him and we believe him and
Fonio both being on the roster really helps the team like I think both things can be true so I think this is a yes and no answer um if you had to give my prediction on if I had to give my prediction I should say
And if buan gets traded I’d say no I it doesn’t seem like they really want to move off of him um and I know yesterday we recorded So I just looked down my phone again W just tweeted out about Xavier Tilman getting traded um I know I
Said yesterday that I did not expect the Pistons to make many moves I didn’t really expect him to make any moves unless and outside of like maybe moving off of kiling hay somewhere um I based off of to based off the moves they’ve made and based on some of the
Things I’ve heard after the move they made today I would say that it’s more likely now that they make maybe one or two more smaller moves now I don’t think that they’re going to make a bigger move based on what I understand um it could happen like anything’s on the table but
If I had to predict based off what I understand now as of this recording I do not think that they’re going to make a bigger trade I still would say maybe not another move but just a change of 24 hours like within 24 hours the Pistons
Made this move and now I I would say that it’s more likely they make multiple moves than it was yesterday if I had to make bets i’ still would probably lean towards them not making more moves outside of maybe moving Killian Hayes off somewhere like I don’t count that as
A move I think that’s just going to be like trade killing for a tpe or like cap space or something like I don’t think that’s going to be so I’m not counting that but outside of that I still would say I still would bet no but it’s more
Likely now based on some of the things I’ve heard than it was um yesterday when we recorded around the same time I actually think James Edwards I third tweeted out that he believes um that maybe at least one more moves coming and I think he might be my read on that is
That I think he might be talking about killing haast trade I’m talking about a nonkilling haast trade um I think there’s it’s slightly more likely now that they make another one but we’ll see um but you guys let me know do you guys think this makes buan banovich more
Expendable now after this trade for fonio and also do you think more trades are coming we’re going to talk about that in this final seg we’ll dive into it even more um let me know though in the comment section down below or over on Twitter at cuka Hill um we’ll talk
About more trades that possibly could happen when we come back but first you guys gotta hear from some of our lovely sponsors first I’ve got to tell you guys about one of our sponsors game time you shouldn’t have to worry about when you buy tickets to your next big event game

Review on whatever pcket platform you’re listening to this on that’s another great way to support the podcast um I’m not gonna lie to you guys so I just looked at my phone um while I’m talking here because W keeps tweeting out stuff and Evan cider um keeps tweeting out
Stuff and Brian wior keeps like I’m getting all kind of notifications so I’m trying to keep up with everything in case the trade happens while I’m recording and one of these tweets were um the Sixers are interested in trading for Kelly o and I thought this was
Saying that the piss or that the not the Pistons the Sixers were interested in trading Kelly UB and I was about to say oh the Pistons should get on that I was someone who won Kelly UB in the off season um but they’re talking about Kelly oin not not Kelly upre obviously
So my bad my bad um but anyways like I said are there any more trades to come um like I said in the last segment based on some of the things I’m hearing today after this move um I’d say it’s more likely that they make moves than it was
Yesterday um and James Edwards II third I wanted to get the Tweet right in front of me um he said quote I feel pretty confident they’re doing at least one more move but they don’t have to use the tpe for a year I believe he’s talking
About the tpe that they would acquire by trading Kevin Knox um or actually the tpe that they acquired from Washington’s deal I believe I saw Keith Smith NBA of SPO track tweet that the Pistons could get a tpe from Trading Kevin D why it could be incorrect with that so don’t take that
To the bank um but anyways uh it sounds like that the Pistons are in discussions with the Knicks for Alec Burks um that could be an intriguing deal uh I I still think they should be trying to move off of Boon I still think they should be
Trying to move off of Burks and Monte Morris um do I think they’re going to do all that I like I said I’m still betting no but it’s more likely no and I would be okay I would be okay if they’re if they make a few more moves
Involving those guys and it’s not for like some crazy player if it’s just for stuff around the edges or if it’s for assets like I don’t think they need let me take that back they do need to eventually get someone like big time but at this moment it doesn’t sound like
There’s many of those guys available obviously so if they move those guys just for assets or better fits around the perimeter um of their team I’d be cool with that as well I’d be I’d be really cool with that as well um but yeah man I mean that’s
All I’ve got for you guys today I really like this fonio trade I think this trade was a really good one um I think he fits this team really well like I said every time I’ve watched the Jazz he’s jumped off the screen um friend of the podcast
And the guy who you know really started my Piston’s media career um sham who’s been on the podcast numerous times I believe he was just on the podcast last month um he actually tweeted out a months ago saying quote look I know Pistons fans are trying to clown on sad
Because this was a tweet talking about how badly sadik was shooting from three but he said you want a cheap stretch four next to Duren that won’t be aive on defense look no further than fonio um and Sham likes to say actually I don’t think this was months ago it actually a
Few weeks ago he tweeted that out and Sham is somebody who claims to have no history as a credible Insider he’s lying I think that’s the whole purpose of that so I think maybe sham was trying to give us a hint um but yeah like I said
There’s been a few people in Pistons Community not just me not just him there’s been a few people I’ve seen that have said that he would have been a good fit so I really like it I’m really interested to see how the Pistons utilize him how many minutes he plays
What kind of lineups they put him out there with I think aade um Ivy boan and uh fonio lineup with maybe dur at the front in at the center position that is just crazy spacing I think the defense would be awful but I think that would be
Crazy spacing um I also like I said I really want to see Cade Ivy assar fanto and dur I think that lineup would fit really well I’m really interested in seeing I hope Monty Williams utilizes that lineup I think it could really work um but I’m happy about this trade I
Think this is a good one I think Pistons fan should be happy about the trade and I’m giving it a B+ so um let me know what you guys think again comment section down below or over on Twitter at cuka Hill that’s all I’ve got for you
Guys today thank you guys for making lock on Pistons your first list every single day re podcast platforms hit that subscribe button to the YouTube channel leave us a f star review whatever podcast platform you’re listening to this on and until next time I’ll see you guys later stay safe maybe another trade
Will happen by the time you guys hear from me next hopefully so make it more fun make it more interesting season I’m hoping for it but we’ll see what happens till next time peace out
The Detroit Pistons made a trade a day before the NBA Trade Deadline after there was some speculation that it would be a quiet deadline in The Motor City. The Pistons traded Kevin Knox, draft rights to Gabriele Procida, and a 2nd round pick to the Utah Jazz for Simone Fontecchio. How will Fontecchio impact the Pistons and what does this move signal for the Pistons?

Ummm umm ummm ummm. Weaver can barely speak. And you’re expecting him to make good deals ? Give the guy a break. He has early onset dementia.
Agreed. Trading a 2nd rd pick for an established player is always a good move.
they traded our euro stash player? i liked him! no no no why
Anyone who watched both Jazz games this year knows who Fontecchio is. He played solid basketball against Detroit both games.
Oh no. The Wizard's SRP??? That's no 33 or 34 in this year's draft. That's real value. Procida will not make it to the NBA and Knox doesn't matter much. But the pick is real value. Not a good trade. Terrible overpay.
That being said. I have watched the guy extensively with ALBA in the Euroleague and german BBL. He can certainly play, but that's about mid second round value or less. The high SRP is too much.
And please, be serious. Fontecchio will not be on Detroit's next playoff team.
We need picks if we gone trade bogey Burkes and morris and shit stew we need picks and we owe the damn knicks
They traded Morris midpod lol Now we have to wait until tomorrow or Friday
Fontecchio 👍🏽
LOVE THE TRADE!!!!!!
Can Burks and Bogy get us JJJ
Simone is wonderful. Sad to see him not on the Jazz anymore.
I know this is a weak take but I can’t help but bring it up. The way Ku says ether or anether rather other/another then he turns around and says thum instead of them. If you gonna use short e instead of o then at least use it when you supposed to. lol- all good tho, I agree with your takes.
Dude you've been attacked to Hayes sorry ass for like 4 seasons
Fontecchio is fine, value is fine, but I feel this is the type of move they should have done years ago, now I feel it's too late. Not the type of move that will fix anything
Simone was included in the second quintet at the World Cup, he played very well over the years in the Euroleague, he did a lot of apprenticeship around Europe, now he is a very good NBA player, an underrated defender, he plays with his heart on the pitch, in defense this year he always took the best opponent player, he shot over 40% from 3 throughout the season, in the last few games he dropped to 39% but he is a great shooter, I hope that in Detroit they will give him the minutes he deserves
Agreed with you Ku he’s an underrated pick up for our pistons
So this is Troy Weaver's new slow tall white guy area huh.
Why do you just jump to conclusions until you see this guy in your uniform you saw him play a good game against our bomb ass team and now you think he's a star
you can add all the shooters you want cade's lazy ass still gonna keep turning the ball over. Trade him for Paolo Banchero
Oh yeah this'll save the season for sure😂
This is going to help Cade and Ausar’s development more than whatever that 2nd round pick turns out to be.
For that reason, it’s a W trade
You're right, Fontecchio is going to help the Pistons. As a Jazz fan I'm sorry to see him go. Detroit's fans are going to love having him on the team. It might take him a few games to adjust to the Pistons style of play, but once he does, Piston fans are going to shake their heads in disbelief that the Jazz traded him for so little. Best of luck to Simone and the Pistons.
