Another buyout: Pistons say farewell to Markieff Morris

Detroit — The Pistons’ remodel is turning into a full-fledged makeover.

In a two-week span, they’ve unloaded two of their biggest contracts and made a commitment toward rebuilding. Add another name to the list.

The Pistons reached a buyout agreement with forward Markieff Morris on Friday and have requested waivers. If he clears waivers, he could be headed to the Los Angeles Lakers, according to a report by The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

In 44 games this season, Morris posted 11 points and 3.9 rebounds, shot 40 percent on 3-pointers and was one of the Pistons’ most consistent big men off the bench.
