Recent Lottery Pick Cut - Could He Be A Midseason Free Agent Candidate?

Former 2020 No. 7 draft pick Killian Hayes, who had reportedly want to be moved from the Detroit Pistons ahead of his restricted free agency this summer, has instead been cut, sources inform Shams Charania and James Edwards III of The Athletic.

It's an absolutely savage development ahead of today's 2023-24 NBA trade deadline.

We had floated him as a possible trade fit as recently as yesterday on this very site. And now he's a free agent! Should LA sign him to a 10-day deal or even take a flyer on him for the rest of the season?
