After acquiring the veteran from the Golden State Warriors in their trade talks with the Miami Heat, the Utah Jazz are re-routing Dennis Schroder<\/a> to the Detroit Pistons, per the Detroit Free Press’s Omari Sanfoka II. This is a deal that certainly helps the promising Pistons, who are in need of another ball-handler in the backcourt. However, it’s also a wise move for the Jazz, who already have one too many starting-caliber guards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jazz Re-Route Heat-Warriors Trade Acquisition Dennis Schroder To Pistons<\/h2>\n

It’s unclear whether Schroder will initially start for the Pistons or come off the bench.<\/p>\n

2022 No. 5 pick Jaden Ivey<\/a> has been out since New Year’s Day with a broken fibula<\/a> and still needs time to recover. In his absence, Detroit has been starting 2023 No. 5 pick Ausar Thompson<\/a>. Though the 2025 Rising Stars selection<\/a> is a prized two-way playmaker, Ivey’s a more potent scorer. This is the main area where Schroder, averaging 14.4 points per game this season, makes more sense as Ivey’s replacement than Thompson.<\/p>\n
