The trade allowed the team to move from the 53 overall pick in the second round to the No. 37 spot.

The Pistons confirmed that it acquired draft rights to Klintman, saying that the trade was part of a "larger deal that is expected to be finalized after the league moratorium ends on July 6."

According to his NBA profile, Klintman joined the Cairns Taipans in Australia in the 2022-2023 season. The 21-year-old, who was raised in Sweden, averaged 9.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, 0.7 assists, and 0.8 steals, shooting 44% from the field.
