Trajan Langdon should only have one goal for the Detroit Pistons at the trade deadline: Don’t mess it up.
The Pistons are now 3.5 games clear in the Eastern Conference after back-to-back wins over the Cavs and Knicks, the latter of which was a complete blowout even though the Pistons were missing two starters.
So, what do you do with a young team that is running through the East, not even at full strength and still has several players not even close to their peaks? The answer is not much.
We talk about every trade rumor on this site, as it is interesting fodder for discussion, and there are certainly ways the Pistons could improve, but the main goal is not to disrupt the ecosystem they have created by chasing upgrades that might not be upgrades at all.
