Before the All-Star break The Detroit Pistons were struggling to get a playoff spot. The team’s bench was lackluster and inconsistent.
Making bold moves like trading the team’s top shooter in Reggie Bullock and moving on from Stanley Johnson, the team looked to turn a new page.
The only notable player the Pistons got out of these trades was Thon Maker, who we’ll talk about shortly. But the trades also allowed the Pistons to experiment with Luke Kennard and give Langston Galloway more room to play the way he wants to play.
