Detroit Pistons: Possible trade of Marvin Bagley III to the Nets
After trading for James Wiseman, Marvin Bagley III may be redundant, as the two have similar skill sets. Troy Weaver has talked endlessly about wanting to have a bigger team, but you also need players that can shoot and neither of these guys can.
Wiseman is the younger player with the higher ceiling, and could also be cheaper going forward, so he is the logical choice. That makes Marvin Bagley III possible trade bait this summer. As much as the Pistons might want to believe MBIII can play power forward, there is no evidence of that yet, so keeping him could relegate him to the 3rd center on the team. Trading him now makes sense.

The problem is that MBIII has not been able to stay healthy, so the Detroit Pistons may have to add an asset to get back anything of value. Here is a trade that might work for both teams:
In this trade, the Pistons get a defensive wing who can shoot some, and the Nets get a backup center who can score.
So which team would say no?
