4 Possible Pistons trades if Bulls, Thunder, Grizzlies or Jazz want Donovan Clingan

Memphis Grizzlies

The Memphis Grizzlies have been tied to Donovan Clingan for quite some time at this point. The issue with them is a lack of available trade ammunition. Detroit could take a look at their roster and, since the prized possessions such as GG Jackson likely won’t be available, build out a trade surrounding former Piston Luke Kennard. Detroit could desperately use Kennard’s three point shooting after finishing last year shooting 45 perent from deep. Kennard has a team option, so Memphis would have to opt-in to his final year first at $14.7 million.

Would a pick swap get Luke to Detroit? Maybe a second round pick would need to be included, I could honestly see both sides claiming they need one to make this work. To balance out the possible optimism from the last mock trade, let’s say Memphis would require a 2nd from Detroit to get this done. 

There is also an argument that the oft-injured Kennard at $15 million is not enough payoff to move back this much, though four spots shouldn't make too much difference in this draft.
