The Detroit Pistons enter NBA trade season with both an elite record and an opportunity to fast-track their development as full-fledged contenders. It all depends on their willingness to spend, because while they could afford just about any trade target, that doesn't mean every trade target is a fit.
Maybe that means the Motor City is set to snooze right on through the Feb. 5 trade deadline. Then again, the unfilled co-star role alongside Cade Cunningham needs addressing at some point, doesn't it? Especially if there's a way—and there is!—to fill that role without coughing up the Pistons' most-prized prospect.
