As a general rule, NBA contenders target veterans. 

Generally, that rule makes sense. Young players are less ready to contribute to winning games. They normally need to learn the ropes before they’re ready to be a meaningful part of an NBA title run. 

Rules are made to be broken. Talent is talent. If a player is already contributing at a high level, they should be a viable target for a contender – no matter how old they are. 

Saddiq Bey is a young player that’s already a high-level contributor. He’s also apparently available in trade conversations.

Meanwhile, the contending Phoenix Suns are said to be in the market for a forward. 

Could they make a deal with the Detroit Pistons this season?
