Walton agreed to a one-year contract with the 76ers on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The former Michigan standout hasn't found a permanent home in the NBA, having spent time with the Heat, Pistons and Clippers since entering the league in 2017-18. Entering training camp, Walton will likely slot in as the 76ers' fourth point guard behind Ben Simmons, Shake Milton and rookie first-round pick Tyrese Maxey.

Walton wasn't re-signed by the Pistons after his 10-day contract expired Tuesday, Rod Beard of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Detroit used the open roster spot to put in a waiver claim for Jordan McRae, who should shore up the Pistons' depth at both guard spots while the team contends with multiple injuries in the backcourt. Walton made three appearances during his 10-day run with the Pistons, averaging 8.7 minutes per game.

Walton will sign a 10-day contract with Detroit, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walton began the year with the Clippers before being dealt to Atlanta at the trade deadline and subsequently waived. He'll now join the Pistons on a 10-day deal. Given the team's lack of talented depth, he could have a chance to stick around beyond that period.

Walton, who was acquired from the Clippers on Thursday, will be waived by the Hawks, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walton wasn't projected to play much behind the likes of Trae Young and Jeff Teague, so this move isn't all too surprising. When seeing more than 10 minutes this season (nine games), Walton is averaging 4.9 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists.

Walton was traded Thursday from the Clippers to the Hawks in exchange for cash, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
In a marginal move, and one that potentially helps the Clippers open up a roster spot for another trade, Walton will head to a new situation in Atlanta. He's seen solid run on occasion, garnering at least 10 minutes in nine games and averaging 4.9 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists in those contests. But he could end up as the Hawks' third or fourth-string point guard behind Trae Young, Jeff Teague and possibly Brandon Goodwin.
