The Detroit Pistons are trying to shore up their rotation ahead of the NBA playoffs. The team added talent Tuesday, acquiring Kevin Huerter and Dario Šarić as part of a three-team deal involving the Chicago Bulls and Minnesota Timberwolves.
In exchange for Huerter and Šarić, the Bulls will receive Mike Conley from the Timberwolves and Jaden Ivey from the Pistons, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.

The Timberwolves — which did not receive a player in the deal — may have had financial motivations for making the deal.
Minnesota will see their luxury tax bill drop from $24M to $3.8M.
They are now under the first apron and $3.8M above the tax.

The Pistons stand the most to gain immediately, as Huerter is averaging 10.9 points and 3.8 rebounds per game this season. Entering play Tuesday, Detroit sits at 36-12 and occupy the top spot in the Eastern Conference.
