The Detroit Pistons made steps towards restructuring their contractual obligations and adding youthful potential to the roster before the trade deadline Thursday. After all the smog settled, the Pistons came away with Thon Maker and Svi Mykhailiuk.
Bullock was involved in a deal that landed him with the Los Angeles Lakers for Mykhailiuk and a future second-round pick to the Pistons.
Johnson was in a deal that eventually landed him in New Orleans. Soon after his trade to the Milwaukee Bucks – for Thon Maker – it was reported that Johnson would actually be rerouted to the Pelicans lockerroom and the Bucks would be acquiring Nikola Mirotic and Jason Smith in a three-team deal.
