Before the season even started, the Detroit Pistons were on the clock for making a big trade, and that chatter has increased since they started the season 8-2 and sit atop the Eastern Conference.
Pundits are now talking about the Pistons as a possible contender who could take the next step and potentially even win the East with the right addition.
I’m going to pump the brakes just a bit and remind everyone that the Pistons have had a fairly easy schedule so far, but that has been balanced by copious injuries and a slow offensive start.
