Why The Detroit Pistons Do The Deal 

It’s hard to say exactly what isn’t working in Detroit this year. 

Cade Cunningham has taken a step forward. Meanwhile, Jaden Ivey has surpassed expectations as a rookie. Meanwhile, the Pistons are 3-12, and Saddiq Bey is slumping. 

Perhaps he needs the ball more. After all, both of the Pistons’ promising young guards spend plenty of time with it. If that doesn’t suit Bey, the Pistons may want to move him for a more off-ball friendly player. 

This deal gives them the opportunity to land two. No, this Bucks pick probably won’t land inside the top 25, but this draft is deep.

Meanwhile, Martin doesn’t need the ball – he’ll be a perfect target for this backcourt to sling dimes to on a regular basis as a lob threat and floor spacer. 

If all goes well, adding him could help the Pistons climb the standings – eventually.
