Would this trade make sense for the Detroit Pistons?
The Detroit Pistons have already moved some veteran names, and Jackson could be next. He has just one year left on his contract, and that means the Pistons could send him away for anything.
Again, this is less about the return and more about just moving Jackson in the final year of his deal.
The Pistons finally received some good news when they landed the top pick in this year’s draft. They did not have the worst record but were able to land the best prospect in the class.
Cunningham is a franchise-changing player and will join a young core that can only get better if Killian Hayes turns into the player that they are expecting.

Detroit has plenty of building to do, but there is now some excitement and a reason for fans to tune in. Now, the front office has to put the right pieces with Cunningham.
This is a chance for the Pistons to continue reshaping the roster and moving players who are now long-term pieces. In this case, Jackson would be next, and it would get them a draft pick next year.
