The Washington Wizards are finalizing a trade to acquire forwards Marvin Bagley III and Isaiah Livers and a pair of draft picks from the Detroit Pistons in exchange for Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala, ESPN reported Sunday.
Per the report, the Wizards will receive second-round picks in the 2025 and 2026 drafts.
The reported deal will create cap space in the summer for the Pistons, with Gallinari earning $6.8 million and Muscala $3.5 million. Both are on expiring contracts.
Bagley’s contract is worth $12.5 million this season and is guaranteed for the same amount in 2024-25. Livers’ deal is worth $1.8 million. He will become a restricted free agent after this season.
Bagley, 24, is averaging 10.2 points and 4.5 rebounds in 26 games (10 starts) this season with the Pistons. The Duke product was the second overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft.
Livers, 25, is contributing 5.0 points and 2.1 boards in 23 games (six starts) in 2023-24.
Gallinari, 35, is averaging 7.0 points and 2.9 rebounds in 26 games off the bench this season with the Wizards. He missed all of the 2022-23 campaign due to a torn ACL
Muscala, 32, is contributing 4.0 points and 3.1 rebounds in 24 games (two starts) in 2023-24.
