#6: Jaden Ivey


Ivey is the most likely member of the "Core Four" (is there such a thing when you lose 24 straight and counting?) to be traded. His fit with Cade Cunningham is suspect and he has the most value of any of their young players not named Cade, Ausar or Duren.

Ivey and a pick or two is a decent enough package to bring back talent and I do think the Pistons would move him in the right deal. Is that deal likely to come? No, which is why he's only sixth on the list. The Pistons aren't actively shopping Ivey but know he's their best trade asset right now.

#5: James Wiseman


Unlike Livers and Knox, Wiseman is still young enough that some team will bite on his potential as the Pistons did. He has played better of late, which will hopefully boost his trade value somewhat, and it's hard to see the league just giving up on a 22-year-old seven-footer with his athleticism.

He's also an expiring deal that they will need in any big trade, so if they make one, Wiseman could very well be a part of it just for contract purposes.
