Steve Blake Traded to Pistons for Quincy Miller: Details, Comments and Reaction
The Brooklyn Nets continued their point guard clear-out Monday, agreeing to send Steve Blake to the Detroit Pistons for Quincy Miller, per Tim Bontemps of the New York Post.
The move comes a few days after Brooklyn confirmed the buyout on Deron Williams' contract.
The Nets acquired Blake in a trade along with Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, with Mason Plumlee moving to the Portland Trail Blazers. In 81 games for the Blazers last year, Blake averaged 4.3 points and 3.6 assists in 18.9 minutes a night.

Blake will provide a veteran presence in the Detroit backcourt in the event he sticks with the franchise. Keith Langlois of Pistons.com is a fan of the trade:
It's doubtful Miller will provide any value to the Nets. RealGM's Shams Charania reported Brooklyn will likely waive the 22-year-old.
By the time all is said and done, the Nets might have an extra roster spot while saving a little bit of money by offloading Blake's contract.
