Why This Trade Would Benefit The Detroit Pistons
The Detroit Pistons are looking to become relevant again in the Eastern Conference. Blake Griffin is healthy and back on the floor but has not been able to take this team to where they want to be. He could be one of the names on the trade block ahead of the NBA trade deadline.
Other than that, the Pistons have a lot of work to do. The Pistons are hoping they drafted their franchise point guard this year. Despite the injury, Hayes is a player who the Pistons want to rely on for a long time. If they were to add Pascal Siakam, the duo would be able to lead the Pistons moving forward.
Detroit signed Jerami Grant in the offseason and it’s difficult to believe they anticipated him being as effective as he has been to start the season. Could the Pistons pursue a scenario to trade him while his value is higher than it’s ever been?
It is difficult to rebuild in the NBA quickly. Teams usually stock up draft picks and hope that they nail the lottery selections that they make. If the Pistons want to speed up the process a bit, this is a deal that could do just that.
