The Detroit Pistons have the young players, draft assets and financial flexibility to make a big trade, but fans aren’t likely to get it anytime soon.
Even though the Pistons made the playoffs last season, they still have plenty of internal evaluation to do before they can make long-term commitments to some of their players. Trajan Langdon will likely use the first part of the season seeing how Jaden Ivey responds to his return from injury and evaluating the fit of the young core.
The good news is that the Pistons are set up for a big trade if they do need one, but they won’t be able to make it for some time depending on who is included.
