All signs point to the Detroit Pistons not making a blockbuster trade at the deadline, as they don’t want to part with the players it would take to land a guy like Lauri Markkanen, Anthony Davis or even Trey Murphy III.
The latter is the most interesting option, as he fills a lot of needs for the Pistons as a rangy shooter who can defend some, is on the right timeline and on a reasonable contract for the foreseeable future.
But all of those things are going to cost, and if the Pelicans do make TMIII available, there will be plenty of teams lined up with their best offers.
