The Detroit Pistons have had an incredible 15-2 start to the season, which naturally has the national media buzzing about the big trade that could push them over the top.
Luckily, Trajan Langdon has patience and is going to let his young team cook until there is a reason not to, as he’d be silly to burn all of his assets to chase a ring before his team is ready. He needs to ask himself what Sam Presti would do, as the guy is building a potential dynasty in OKC largely based on homegrown talent.
The Thunder were in this position last season, with everyone assuming they would push in some of their considerable assets for another superstar, and they have the ammo to get just about anyone.
