Trade value for every player on the Detroit Pistons

December 15th is the first day that newly signed players can be traded, which seems like a good time to look at the trade value of all of the Detroit Pistons.

Detroit has a number of players who fall into the December 15th group, along with Hamidou Diallo, who can’t be traded for another month.

So the trade market officially opens tomorrow and the Detroit Pistons will almost certainly be sellers, as there is no trade they could make to propel themselves into contention.

The question is whether the Pistons have anyone other teams would want, as several of their prospective trade pieces are either playing poorly or injured, which could make for an uneventful trade season in Detroit.

Here is what I think each guy could get on the open market if the Pistons do decide to clean house.

Detroit Pistons: These guys aren’t going anywhere

Cade Cunningham

Cade is as close to untradable as there is in the NBA right now, as he has already shown flashes of superstardom and looks like the perfect player to build around in the modern game, despite what Dave Bing might think. Unless Luka Doncic or a similar young superstar is involved, there is no way the Pistons could get equal value for a guy this good on a rookie deal. I don’t know or care what his trade value is because he ain’t getting traded.

Killian Hayes

Hayes is still trying to figure out his role on this team, but has shown improvement in a season that has been hampered by a thumb injury that won’t seem to heal. Hayes has improved his shot, is playing very good defensively and has shown himself to be a plus playmaker. I still think he has way more value to the Pistons than other teams, and can’t see him traded unless it is part of a bigger deal for a guy like Ben Simmons, which seems very unlikely. On his own, Hayes would probably net a first-round pick.

Saddiq Bey

Coach Casey recently hinted at a possible G-League demotion for Saddiq Bey, so it’s safe to say his value is at its lowest. After what we’ve seen so far this season, I am not sure another team would give up a first-round pick for Bey. If the Pistons wanted to move him, they might be able to get back a similarly young player who is also not playing up to his potential.

Isaiah Stewart

I think Stewart would have more value than Bey right now, but Detroit would also be selling low by moving him, as he has regressed somewhat in season two. It would be the height of stupidity to trade any of these guys now, as they are still developing and we don’t need another Khris Middleton situation where the Pistons give up on an All-Star before he blossoms.
