Pistons are going to be busy if free agent rumors are true

6 days ago | pistonpowered.com | Aaron Kellerstrass

The Detroit Pistons would love to have a floor spacing big man and there are potentially two of them on the free-agent market this summer in Naz Reid and Myles Turner. I’ve written about Reid since the beginning of the season and think he’d be a nice fit as a versatile big who can defend and spread the floor. Myles Turner is getting ready to head to the NBA Finals with the Pacers, but he’s the type of rim protector and 3-point shooter that every team wants, including the Pistons.
Devin Booker trade proposal has Pistons fans salivating

I‘ve been covering the Pistons for about six years now and fans have been talking about the possibility of Devin Booker coming to Detroit the entire time. It does make some sense, as Booker is not only from Michigan, but is among the Pistons’ worse draft misses, so it’s a wrong fans would love to undo. I’ve written many times about the idea of Booker coming “home,” and speculation kicks up every time he plays in Detroit and puts on a Tigers hat.
Versatile free agent names Pistons as possible home and he's a great fit

The Detroit Pistons don’t need to make sweeping changes to their roster but could use a backup power forward and Jake LaRavia might be the guy. After the Grizzlies declined his team option and traded him to the Kings, LaRavia will be an unrestricted free agent this summer and named the Pistons as a preferred destination according to a recent interview with Basketball Insiders.
Zach Lowe with bold Jaden Ivey take and he may be right

Much of the offseason debate around the Detroit Pistons has focused on Jaden Ivey. Many think he’s the second star the Pistons need, while others think he should be trade bait to land a more complementary and proven star. Ivey is also extension eligible, so there is ample speculation about how much the Pistons should offer if they do extend him this summer, which has been complicated by the broken leg that cost him most of this season.
Only one Pistons player needs to be traded this offseason

When the Detroit Pistons signed Simone Fontecchio to a 2 year/$16 million contract I thought it was a steal. Fontecchio was great in 16 games for the Pistons at the end of the 2023-24 season and showed the kind of shooting from the wing they desperately needed. He hit over 42 percent of his 3-point shots and averaged over 15 points per game, so there was hope that the Pistons had gotten real value for money with his deal.
Brilliant sign-and-trade idea lands Pistons a perfect piece

The Detroit Pistons need more shooting, size and depth at the four spot and PJ Washington would be ideal. His name was mentioned briefly on the Game Theory Podcast, when host Sam Vecenie quickly suggested the possibility of using Dennis Schroder in a sign-and-trade to get Washington. The Pistons would love to have Schroder back, and I would too, as he’s a guy I lobbied the team to get for years, and he was exactly the kind of veteran point guard they needed.
Jaden Ivey trade proposal sparks civil war in Pistons fanbase

1 week ago | pistonpowered.com | Aaron Kellerstrass

Debate erupted among fans of the Detroit Pistons when it was suggested that the team could trade Jaden Ivey this summer. The original idea came from Bleacher Report, king of daily fake trades, none of which are very realistic or likely to happen. But they do make great fodder for conversation and can be a valuable way to evaluate players and their perceived trade value.
Pistons should steal sharpshooter from rival in free agency

The Detroit Pistons made their first appearance in the playoffs in six seasons largely on the strength of their top 10 defense. The offense was still mediocre at best and still lacked 3-point shooting both in terms of volume and accuracy. We saw how much spacing matters this season, as the Pistons flourished with better shooters around Cade Cunningham, but if they want to take the next step as a team, they have to improve offensively and certainly can’t regress.
Do Pistons need to make painful decision between 2 building blocks this offseason?

1 week ago | pistonpowered.com | Aaron Kellerstrass

Most of the talk around the Detroit Pistons so far this offseason has revolved around which young players they should keep and whether they need to swing for a big trade. Probably the most devastating part of the injuries to Jaden Ivey and later Isaiah Stewart was that we didn’t get to see the young core play much together and not at all in the playoffs, which cost the Pistons valuable data.
Pistons could trade Isaiah Stewart for depth if latest rumors come true

Another day, another set of Detroit Pistons’ trade rumors. I take every rumor, suggestion or prediction with a grain of salt the size of Mount Everest, as publications like Bleacher Report put them out nearly every day. This isn’t a jab at B/R, as I do think fake trade suggestions are great fodder for conversation and help to evaluate team needs and scenarios that could emerge in the offseason, though most of them won’t.
