On June 28, the NBA Draft’s second round is about to begin.
Per Shams Charania, a renowned NBA insider, the Minnesota Timberwolves have traded Jaden McDaniels and their No. 37 pick in this year’s draft to the Detroit Pistons in exchange for the No. 53 pick.
The Timberwolves are making this move to cut costs, swapping McDaniels’ first-round contract (26th pick in 2022) for a second-round deal with the No. 53 pick, which saves them over a million dollars.
