Draft night is not complete without the requisite trade rumors, and it didn’t take long before reports started swirling around the Pistons’ pick at No. 5, Jaden Ivey.
Despite “several” attempts to pry Ivey away, the Pistons are reportedly planning to keep the talented wing player, per James Edwards III of The Athletic. The Knicks, in particular, were said to have attempted to work out a deal with Detroit involving their No. 11 overall pick, according to Newday‘s Steve Popper.
Ivey, who grew up in Indiana and spent his college career at Purdue, has ties to Detroit.
