Detroit Pistons’ New Addition Makes Farewell Statement to Mavericks

Recently, the Detroit Pistons gained a new player via trade with the Dallas Mavericks. Tim Hardaway Jr. is set to head back to Michigan, where he spent his college days hooping.

It took a week for everything to get settled and made official, but Hardaway is indeed headed to the Pistons for the start of the 2024-2025 NBA season.

On Saturday, the veteran guard took to Instagram to bid farewell to the Dallas Mavericks.

“The last 5 seasons will be something I will cherish forever,” Hardaway writes. “First and foremost I want to thank all of my teammates, love you all and we will always be brothers! To Dallas, THANK YOU for helping me become not just a better ball player, but helping me mature even more as a person! The city and organization embraced my family and I with open arms and even though things didn’t end the way I wanted them too, I am forever grateful. Will always be love, Thank you, God Bless”

The Pistons become Hardaway’s fourth team since he entered the NBA in 2013.

Coming out of Michigan, Hardaway became the 24th overall pick by the Knicks. He spent the first two seasons of his career as a role-player in New York. During the 2015 offseason, Hardaway was traded to the Atlanta Hawks. He had a two-year stint in Atlanta, before making his way back to the Knicks.

As a free agent, Hardaway received a four-year offer from the Knicks, worth over $70 million. After signing the offer sheet, the Hawks failed to match. Hardaway had another two-year run with the Knicks until the Mavericks traded for him midway through the 2018-2019 season.

In over 350 games with the Mavs, Hardaway averaged 15 points, three rebounds and two assists. He drained 42 percent of his field goals and knocked down nearly 38 percent of his threes on over seven attempts per game.

This year, the Pistons will be on the hook for Hardaway’s $16 million salary. Being that it’s the final year of the contract he signed in 2021, Hardaway could become a free agent next summer.

Dallas Wings bring up Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers for trade talk about first pick

Dallas Wings bring up Caitlin Clark, Paige Bueckers for trade talk about first pick

The Dallas Wings once again have the first overall pick after winning the 2026 Draft Lottery on Sunday evening. The 2026 WNBA Draft isn’t scheduled until Monday, April 13th, so there is a lot of time for the Wings to evaluate the draft class, but also explore other options for the pick.

Could the Dallas Wings explore trading the first overall pick? It’s certainly not out of the question, and Wings GM Curt Miller is at least open to the idea.

Drake Keeler of IX Sports reported that Wings GM Curt Miller said he he “already received more calls about potential trades for the #1 pick in the upcoming draft than he did in the lead-up to the 2025 draft.” But a lot of that is due to the talent available at the top of the draft.

“The Cailtin Clark draft, there was not going to be a trade, Paige [Bueckers] was not going to be traded, but it will be interesting, and it makes our job fun to listen to those phone calls that come in for the #1 pick. And we’ll do what’s best for our franchise.” Miller said.

Miller is saying that every team knew that they wouldn’t have traded the Paige Bueckers pick last year, and the Indiana Fever wouldn’t have traded the Caitlin Clark pick. Those were generational superstars from the moment they entered college, and the star power and popularity alone would’ve made it hard to trade those picks. The Indiana Fever are the most popular team in the WNBA because of Clark, and no team saw more social media growth this year than the Wings because of Bueckers.

As of now, there is no player that is a lock to go first overall, but there are plenty of players who could be considered, including Lauren Betts, Awa Fam, Azzi Fudd, Ta’Niya Latson, and Olivia Miles. If it stays like that all year, and unless the Wings fall in love with a particular player, trading down a few spots may be a great opportunity to gain future draft capital.

If they enter the draft saying “We’d be happy with any of these three players,” they should trade back to the third pick, if the opportunity presents itself and the capital makes sense.

They could also use the pick to trade for a readymade star. A lot of players around the WNBA are entering free agency this offseason, which Miller says having Bueckers and the first pick will be a huge draw in free agency, but the Wings can also be aggressive in trades because of the pick.

Eagles vs. Cowboys Live Updates, Score: Can Dallas Get a Big Win?

We’ve got a good old-fashioned NFC East rivalry matchup in store for “America’s Game of the Week” on Sunday.

The Eagles (8-2) and the Cowboys (4-5-1) meet up in Texas for the latest installment of one of the NFL’s top rivalries. Philadelphia won the first game between these two teams to open the season back in September, taking down Dallas in a game that was much closer than many expected.

However, the Eagles have largely looked the part of a defending Super Bowl champion since that game. They enter Sunday’s tilt as the NFC’s No. 1 seed. The Cowboys, however, have had a bumpy year. They have a tough hill to climb to make the postseason, but it seems possible with newcomer Quinnen Williams leading an improved defensive unit.

Will Philly maintain control of the NFC, or can Dallas start a winning streak and make a playoff push?
