Many Detroit Pistons fans spent the offseason talking about trading for a star, and one of the names we repeatedly heard was Lauri Markkanen, who went for 51 points last night in a win over the Suns.
Markkanen in Detroit makes sense strictly from a talent fit, as they need a second scorer, and his game is a good match with Cade Cunningham.
I was waiting for Markkanen to have a monster game, which he did last night, and given that the Pistons were also blown out of the gym by the Cavaliers, it makes sense that I woke up to a million posts about how the Pistons should trade for Markkanen.
