According to Stein, the negotiations between the Pistons and Dallas Mavericks were sparked by Detroit's determination to ease a backcourt logjam by trading Hayes.

Hayes was drafted with the No. 7 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, but he has struggled on offense and carried multiple injuries that limited his minutes throughout his career.

On top of that, Pistons drafted two more guards – Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey. Detroit also acquired veteran point guard Monte Morris.

Last season, Hayes averaged 10.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game in 76 appearances for the Pistons.
