Why The Detroit Pistons Do The Deal
Some Pistons fans may not like this. They’ll want to make progress next year, and they’re losing the best player in this trade.
Sure. With that said, the Pistons will not contend next season. If they land Victor Wembanyama, sure, it might make sense to keep Bogdanovic. Otherwise, this team should continue turning its eye to the future.
With that in mind, Toppin could be their long-term starting 4. He’s a versatile defender and a killer in the open floor. He’d make a great target for Cunningham’s passes in transition and as a lob threat in the halfcourt.
Still, Rose could be valuable to this team too. He could pilot their second unit. Moreover, he’d provide invaluable mentorship to Cunningham and Jaden Ivey.
