The Los Angeles Lakers are off to a hot start this season led by LeBron James and Anthony Davis. As we approach the NBA trade deadline, Los Angeles has been featured in some rumors and could look to make a deal to add some extra depth. The Detroit Pistons could be an intriguing trade partner.

Detroit is currently 5-15 and near the bottom of the Eastern Conference. They were busy in free agency during the offseason but the moves have not made the team any better. There has been some individual success. Jerami Grant is averaging 23.5 points per game in his first season in Detroit.

The Pistons are a team that has plenty of work to do over the next few years to rebuild their team. In the meantime, they could be looking to trade some veteran players such as Derrick Rose and Blake Griffin.

This is where the Lakers could be a trade partner. they made some big-time moves in the offseason to improve their lineup. Dennis Schroder was the first move when he came over in a trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Montrezl Harrell was the big signing in free agency. The Los Angeles Clippers certainly miss him this season. He is averaging 12.9 points and 6.7 assists per game for the Lakers off the bench.

Los Angeles could be looking to add another veteran player this season. There is only so much time a team has to contend for championships and LeBron James and Anthony Davis both are elite players ready to win now. Trying to improve the supporting cast as much as possible makes the most sense.

If they do, the Pistons could be in play. Here is a potential deal that could happen between the two sides.
