The NBA trade deadline is nearly upon us, and the Detroit Pistons have been attached to just about every rumor, including for sharpshooting wing Trey Murphy III of the New Orleans Pelicans.
While TMIII might be the perfect archetype for the Pistons to target, the idea has cooled somewhat since it was reported the Pels had no interest in trading him.
I absolutely agree with this assessment, as you don’t trade 25-year-old scoring wings on team-friendly contracts, and the Pistons don’t have that enticing of a package to send back when you consider their picks will likely fall outside of the lottery.
