5 Trades to relieve Detroit Pistons of big man logjam

1. Pistons add wing depth and draft capital in surprise blockbuster

The Pistons are ready to jump out of their rebuild, but what if they could add some wing depth for now and additional draft capital? Detroit does not have to make the selections. They could look to parlay the picks into a bigger trade that helps round out their roster moving forward. Here is a framework of a deal they should consider this summer.

Can they get Dallas to commit to giving up both picks? The Mavericks are searching for a skilled wing and a starting center to round out their roster. Stewart could get back to protecting the rim as he looks to anchor the defense in Dallas. Losing Bogdanovic would hurt, but Detroit gets two wing replacements and two first-round picks.

The Pistons could draft two more young talents with the fifth and tenth overall selections in this year’s draft and could have a 2027 first-rounder to explore further deals with. They lose out on immediate production but would have more tools to build a contender over the next three years.

How can the Detroit Pistons clear their big-man logjam this summer? Who will be on the trade block and what can they get in return? Expect the Pistons to make moves, and stay tuned for all the latest.
