Detroit Pistons Receive: G/F Frank Ntilikina, G Jaden Hardy, 2025 First-Round Pick (DAL) 

Dallas Mavericks Receive: F Saddiq Bey 

Of course, building a successful NBA team is no easy task. Look at the history of the Detroit Pistons. 

During the late 80s and early 90s, the Pistons were consistently successful. Moreover, they enjoyed a renaissance in the early 00s. All told, this organization has 3 championships to show for those efforts. 

Unfortunately, they’ve struggled since their last title. By now, the Pistons have become a franchise we expect to see near the bottom of the standings.

This young core has a bright future, but it doesn’t look like they’ll be taking a leap this season.

Let it be said that luck also plays a huge factor in team building. 

Is Bey the right player to pair with their newest star?
