Possible trade targets for the Detroit Pistons

Norman Powell

A great 3-point shooter and professional bench scorer, Powell is a guy I have always liked for Detroit. The Clippers may want to ditch the final two years of his salary. Could the Pistons get him for the expiring Burks? Probably not, but would be worth a call.

Rui Hachimura

The Pistons send the Lakers more shooting and LA sends Detroit a young power forward. I'm not a big fan of Hachimura's game but he has shot the ball well this season.

Luke Kennard

Ah why the hell not? Let's just send Pistons Twitter into full-blown meltdown, shall we? Kennard can't guard anyone, but at least he can shoot. He's also hurt, so he'd fit right in.

Evan Fournier

This might not be a bad idea, though would have been a better one in the offseason when the Knicks might have given the Pistons back their pick to take on Fournier's salary, which is how you acquire assets from a salary dump. Instead, Troy Weaver got some second-round picks to take on Joe Harris. If the Pistons could flip Bojan for Fournier and their first-round pick back, they should.
