Tantalizing star trade proposal has Trajan Langdon poaching his old team

The Detroit Pistons could potentially cash in some of their chips for Trey Murphy III, but it will come with a cost and some risk.

Murphy III is a guy many Pistons fans have had their eyes on, as he would fill a distinct need as a 20+ ppg scorer who can fill it up from 3-point range. The Pistons are among the worst teams in the league in 3-point shooting and aren’t always able to overcome it with defense and paint scoring, as we saw in the recent loss to Boston.

Bill Simmons suggested that TMIII would be a better target than Lauri Markkanen, and I agree, as Murphy actually plays defense and is making about half of what Markkanen makes.
