Just when you thought the NBA off-season was cooling down, chaos ensued.
The San Antonio Spurs traded an irritated Kawhi Leonard to the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday morning. In exchange, the Spurs (who also sent Danny Green) received DeMar DeRozan, Jakob Poeltl, and a 2019 first-round pick.
Now I know what you’re thinking.
“What does this have to do with the Detroit Pistons?”
Well I’m glad you asked.
The Eastern Conference has been hemorrhaging superstar talent over the last several seasons. This has given teams like the Pistons a chance to move up the ladder.
