Detroit Pistons Receive: G Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

Here, the Detroit Pistons exploit Sam Presti’s psychological compulsion to collect draft picks.

He can’t get enough of them. Three might be enough to see him part with his best player here. After all, he’s also receiving two young players with upside in Bagley III and Diallo. Plus, one of those picks is guaranteed to convey in the top 6 this year.

This deal allows Presti to keep the tank rolling. The package his Thunder receives here is unlikely to pay dividends until several years from now. That seems to be exactly the way he likes it.

As for the Pistons, the Cunningham/Gilgeous-Alexander pairing should terrify the rest of the NBA. Suddenly, they’ve got two of the biggest lead ball-handlers in the NBA sharing a backcourt. There might be some growing pains, but once these two got clicking, they could lead to an unguardable attack.
