Pistons get: PG/SG Steve Blake
Nets get: SF Quincy Miller (waived)
Talk about getting role players for nothing. Miller was the 38th pick in the 2012 draft, but has been relatively disappointing, only putting up 2.9 points per game this season. Yes, Blake may be 35 and yes, Detroit may already have Reggie Jackson and Brandon Jennings at point guard. But Blake is on an expiring $2.1 million deal, so the age isn’t an issue, and the depth behind Jackson and Jennings was a glaring hole, especially considering that Jennings could be spending some minutes at shooting guard next season. Blake is a perfect backup to the duo, as he averaged 4.3 points and 3.6 assists in just 18.9 minutes per game last season in Portland, and remains a solid option from beyond the arc. It’s impossible to criticize getting a good player for little to nothing.
