The Detroit Pistons are reportedly acquiring guard Isaiah Joe from the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for two second-round draft picks, according to sources cited by ESPN. In other free agency news, restricted free agent Mark Williams is expected to sign a three-year, $38 million fully guaranteed contract to return to the Phoenix Suns, sources confirmed to ESPN. Meanwhile, the Washington Wizards' top draft pick, AJ Dybantsa, unveiled his No. 4 jersey, signaling his intent to lead the franchise's turnaround in Washington.
