Why This Trade Would Benefit The Detroit Pistons

The Detroit Pistons have quickly turned into one of the biggest dumpster fires in the league. This is why we have seen them begin selling early on. He could continue if they send away Wayne Ellington and potentially Jerami Grant.

Detroit was busy in the offseason and this included signing players like Grant and Mason Plumlee. They attempted to build up the frontcourt in preparation for Griffin’s inevitable departure from the team. They also drafted Killian Hayes who they hoped would be the point guard of the future. This allowed them to trade Rose.

Killian Hayes has suffered an injury in this household in his progress but they feel good about him moving forward. As of now, Wayne Ellington does not look like a player for the future and if they could get something for him, it would be extremely beneficial.
