The Detroit Pistons could, if they wanted, be among the very most aggressive teams during this iteration of NBA trade season. They have a rich asset collection, a decent shot at title contention, and a second-star void alongside MVP candidate Cade Cunningham.
Would it be wise to hammer the fast-forward button, though? After all, the Pistons are faring just fine on their own. Plus, the trade market hasn't exactly offered up the perfect co-star for Cunningham; Giannis Antetokounmpo, for instance, is an awkward timeline fit, and he'd add to this squad's spacing constraints.
