The Detroit Pistons are reportedly gauging the trade market for reserve forward Simone Fontecchio as it explores sign-and-trade and free agency options, according to NBA reporter Michael Scotto.
Fontecchio received a two-year, $16 million contract last offseason after a promising start to his Detroit Pistons tenure. However, the Italian sharpshooter struggled throughout last season following offseason foot surgery and never really got untracked.
He his just 33.5% from deep on three attempts per game last season. That was a far cry from the 42% and 6.3 attempts during his 16-game stint with the Pistons following a mid-season trade with the Utah Jazz.
