So, this is all based on a Woj tweet and no official announcement from the team?...wake me when it ACTUALLY happens

So does Shake make good decisions and does he protect the ball?

According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Pistons will soon waive the veteran guard Shake Milton so he can become available for a playoff squad.

Milton recently joined the Pistons before the trade deadline went into place. On February 7, the veteran guard was moved alongside Troy Brown Jr. and a future second-round pick from the Minnesota Timberwolves to Detroit in exchange for Monte Morris.

Milton didn’t have much of a role in Detroit waiting for him. While he averaged 15 minutes on the court through his first four games with the Pistons, the veteran guard picked up three straight DNPs before the Pistons faced the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night.

Shortly after the Pistons fell short to the Cavs with a ten-point loss, it was reported that Milton would part ways with the organization.

We need frontcourt help and I think he’s still a better option than Sims and Toppin.

It iş truly a shame we didn’t waive Burks before Friday’s deadline so he could join a contender and help them. Knicks need to do better

Getting 1/4th of detroits roster is probably not conducive to winning anything.

A bit disingenuous calling Shake "part" of Detroit roster.

This is like when the Mavs kept going after former Knicks.

Darius Garland/Cory Joseph
Klay Thompson/Shaedon Sharpe
Keldon Johnson/De'Andre Hunter
Evan Mobley/Tari Eason
Nic Claxton/Draymond Green

A good depth pickup especially with Burks looking so bad.

Deuce should still be ahead of Burks/Shake but you never know what Thibs will do

Love that the Knicks are adding 1/5 of the roster that lit up the NBA for 8 wins.

Killian Hayes still out there. Sign him too.
