"Pistons Acquire Simone Fontecchio from Jazz in Pre-Trade Deadline Move"

The Detroit Pistons acquired Simone Fontecchio from the Utah Jazz in exchange for Kevin Knox II, the rights to Gabriele Procida, and a 2024 second-round pick. Fontecchio, a 6-foot-7 forward, is shooting 39.1% from 3-point range this season and is seen as a strong offensive rebounder and solid defender. The Pistons view him as a great fit with their young core and plan to secure his future in Detroit. In addition to Fontecchio, the Pistons also traded Monte Morris to Minnesota for two players and a second-rounder, leaving them without a second-round pick until 2027 and still owing a protected first-round pick to the New York Knicks.
