Nets' Shake Milton: Headed to Brooklyn
Milton signed a three-year, $9 million contract with the Knicks on Thursday before being shipped, along with Bojan Bogdanovic, to the Nets as part of the sign-and-trade that will send Mikal Bridges and Keita Bates-Diop (shin) to the Knicks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
While the final two years of Milton's contract are non-guaranteed, he will have an opportunity to compete for backcourt minutes on a rebuilding Nets squad. In 2023-24, Milton averaged 4.5 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 12.1 minutes across 48 total appearances for the Pistons, Timberwolves and Knicks in the regular season.

Knicks' Shake Milton: Cracks rotation in blowout loss
Milton supplied three points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound and one assist across 15 minutes during Sunday's 121-89 loss to the Pacers in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Milton saw his first minutes of the postseason, playing the entire fourth quarter of what was an ugly loss. The series is now tied at 2-2, but the Pacers have all the momentum heading back to New York. Assuming Game 5 on Tuesday is tighter, don't expect to see Milton in the rotation.

Knicks' Shake Milton: Officially signs, available Tuesday
Milton officially signed with the Knicks and will be available against the Hawks on Tuesday, Stefan Bondy of the New York Post reports.
Milton agreed to a buyout with the Pistons on Friday and needed to wait until he cleared waivers to join the Knicks. While he'll be available Tuesday, Milton isn't guaranteed playing time, though there'll be depth minutes available if Jalen Brunson (knee) is downgraded to out.

Knicks' Shake Milton: Bound for New York
Milton plans to sign with the Knicks upon clearing waivers during the upcoming week, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Milton and the Pistons agreed to a contract buyout Friday, and it didn't take long for the guard to find a new home. Because that transaction happened before the Friday deadline, Milton will be eligible for the playoffs. He's likely in store for a limited role off the bench with the Knicks.

Shake Milton: Bought out by Detroit
Detroit and Milton agreed to a contract buyout Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
The two sides were able to complete the transaction prior to the deadline Friday, so Milton will be eligible to compete in the playoffs if he signs with a new team. He's expected to draw interest from several contenders, and it became apparent quickly that he was never a major part of Detroit's plans after being acquired from Minnesota at the trade deadline. In 42 appearances this season between the Pistons and Timberwolves, Milton has averaged 4.9 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 13.2 minutes per contest.

Pistons' Shake Milton: Grabs season-high nine boards
Milton produced 13 points (4-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 116-100 loss to the Suns.
Milton continues to find his footing with Detroit after being moved at the trade deadline, leading all Pistons bench players in scoring while hauling in a team-high-tying rebound total and ending one rebound shy of a double-double. Milton set a season high in rebounds, surpassing his previous season high of six rebounds recorded in the first half of Detroit's back-to-back Tuesday. Milton has tallied at least 10 points in six games, his first game in double figures since posting 12 points Dec. 11 with Minnesota.

Pistons' Shake Milton: Set to debut Saturday

Pistons' Shake Milton: Questionable for Saturday
Milton (trade pending) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
The Pistons moved Monte Morris in exchange for Milton and Troy Brown, both of whom are questionable to make their debuts. Milton's path to playing time won't be much easier in Detroit, as Marcus Sasser has been playing really well for the Pistons.

Pistons' Shake Milton: Traded to Detroit
The Pistons acquired Milton, Troy Brown and a future second-round pick from the Timberwolves on Wednesday in exchange for Monte Morris, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Milton will join a crowded backcourt in Detroit, where he'll fight for reserve minutes behind point guard Cade Cunningham with Killian Hayes and Marcus Sasser. Milton will presumably miss Wednesday's game in Sacramento, but he could be available Thursday in Portland if his trade to Detroit is finalized before then.

Timberwolves' Shake Milton: Enters rotation Monday
Milton provided four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 15 minutes during Monday's 128-125 loss to Charlotte.
Milton played at least 15 minutes for the first time in over a month. With Mike Conley (hamstring) on the sideline, the Timberwolves opted to go with Milton for some guard depth. Despite having a somewhat fantasy-friendly game, Milton has been a non-factor across all leagues this season. Barring several injuries to key players, there is no reason to think his role changes any time soon.

Timberwolves' Shake Milton: Fails to score in three minutes
Milton ended with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in three minutes during Friday's 122-95 win over the Rockets.
Milton continues to be used sparingly by the Timberwolves, having played fewer than five minutes in six consecutive games. He was out of the rotation completely for three of those six games, highlighting what a struggle it has been thus far. Based on his current role, Milton is not even worth considering in deeper formats.
