Why would the Pistons trade Saddiq Bey (alien.top)

Was this the right move?

Bey is a pretty solid young role player and it feels like Detroit coudlve committed to developing him but instead they sent him away

What was the purpose of this move? Seems kinda unnecessary

On Detroit he was a bit of a ball-stopper, and not good enough to justify it.

But I remember also that he got traded just days after he broke off an end game out of bounds play for Bojan, to demand the ball himself. He made the shot to win the game, but it was really obvious he didn’t run the play - he just stepped in front of the guy inbounding and demanded the ball.

Always wondered if that showed that there was more behind the scenes than was obvious.
