James Edwards III: After the Delon Wright-Ariza deal freed up extra money for Detroit, McGruder will likely not be waived and stretched, per source. That just leaves $2.9 million in (DED)mon money.

Bobby Marks: Cap mechanics for Detroit. Waive-and-stretch on: Over 5 seasons. Dewayne Dedmon $2.7M per. Rodney McGruder $1.0M per. Jerami Grant goes into the room created. Detroit clearly targeted players that had a second year non-guaranteed with the goal to use the waive-and-stretch provision (over 5 seasons vs. 3) to create cap space. Less of blow financially compared to a player that had one year (ex: $12.8M Trevor Ariza over 3 seasons).
The Nets received Clippers guard Landry Shamet, Pistons guard Bruce Brown and the draft rights to Reggie Perry (Clippers 57th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft). The Pistons acquired the draft rights to Saddiq Bey (Nets 19th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft), Clippers guard Rodney McGruder, Nets forward Dzanan Musa, a second-round draft pick (Toronto 2021), and the draft rights to Jaylen Hands.
