Why The Detroit Pistons Do The Deal
Give the Pistons this much: it’s obvious that, as an organization, they want to improve.
This year, they could have. Unfortunately, Cade Cunningham suffered an early season injury that kept him out for the entire season. For that reason, the Pistons are at the bottom of the NBA’s standings.
It may be a blessing in disguise. The Pistons are officially in the race for Victor Wembanyama. With such a special draft class upcoming, the Pistons might do better to improve next season.
Losing this trio of veterans could hurt their chances. On the other hand, they can mine free agency for replacements or, if necessary, use these picks to trade for them.
