Why The Detroit Pistons Do The Deal
The Pistons may want an unprotected first for Bey. That doesn’t mean they’ll get one.
Of course, they might – even in spite of his spacing concerns, Bey has shown a lot of promise in this league. With that said – so has Nikola Jovic.
That’s why this is a good deal either way. The Pistons bring in a talented young point forward in a season that’s already lost. Meanwhile, if Bey improves the Heat, they’ll get a first-round pick as well.
Guess what? The Pistons aren’t getting a potential lottery pick for Bey anyway.
