Which trade could the Detroit Pistons benefit from the most?
Trading for John Wall
If there’s anything NBA-related I’m vehemently against, it would be trading for Wall. The fact that he will have a player option that would pay him $47.4 million in his age-32 season is something the Pistons shouldn’t take on, whether they’re contending or rebuilding.
Reggie and Galloway for Wall and 2020 unprotected 1st rounder. That pick is key

Nevermind the fact that this deal doesn’t work out financially. Wall is owed $38.2 million this season and combining Jackson and Galloway’s salaries only leads to $25.4 million. Tony Snell and a minimum contract would need to be included to make the salaries work out.

It isn’t plausible for the Wizards to add an unprotected first round pick, either, since they’re on the cusp of a rebuild.
On to the next.
