Detroit Pistons: Trade with the Phoenix Suns

The Suns were one of the teams that reportedly bid on Kyrie Irving, using a pick and Chris Paul as the main incentives, but that didn’t interest the Nets.

The Suns may be desperate to make a move now and could feel more compelled to revisit the Bogdanovic talks that reportedly happened earlier in the season.

Is a Suns’ crappy late first-round pick and the chance to try out Cameron Johnson enough to get the Detroit Pistons to move off Bogdanovic? Possibly. Johnson is an interesting player who is recently back from injury and has already had some big games for the Suns, so they might not be interested in moving him, though he is on an expiring deal.

Detroit Pistons: Trade with the LA Clippers

The Clippers are one of the teams that was reportedly involved with the Kyrie Irving market, as they have been surging, but may think they need more talent to make a real run at a title.

The Clippers are reportedly looking for backcourt depth and could also get involved in the Nerlens Noel market if they want a backup big. Here is one that would set Pistons’ Twitter on fire.

A fresh start for Killian as a pass-first point guard on a good team? A bigger role off the bench for Kennard in Detroit? I’m just going to walk away from this one slowly, like Heath Ledger’s Joker after he blows the hospital in The Dark Knight.
