Grade the trade: Pistons land Hornets' veteran in proposed deal
Proposed trade between the Pistons and Hornets
Bleacher Report recently came up with a trade proposal to help two of the most disappointing teams in the NBA, though it's arguable that neither would benefit much.
Here's what they came up with:
Proposed trade
This is the definition of a low-impact trade, as it's not like it's going to make either team good this season or beyond.
But it would help relieve Detroit's glut of guards, and give them another veteran who can make plays and spread the floor a little, though Hayward's shooting numbers have dipped. He can still handle the ball, make plays (career-high 4.6 assists per game) and can be a secondary scoring option.
He's on an expiring deal, is a better fit for what Detroit needs and can at least help Cade Cunningham offensively. But there are a couple of things I don't like about this trade.
