Detroit Pistons Rumours

16 Jun 2025 02:27:21
Ok MEM might be rebuilding, DET should take the chance to get the stretch big they want

MEM/DET

MEM get Tobias Harris, Ron Holland, 4 1st round picks & 2 pick swaps
- I assume that Ja will be dealt too so Holland and Cole Anthony wll handle that PG position for a while

DET get Jaren Jackson Jr

Pg Cunningham
Sg Ivey
Sf Thompson
Pf Jackson Jr
Ce Duren
- hell defensively, great balanced offense, could use the shooting of Beasley and Hardaway off their bench

On paper this could be unbelievable and overpayment but Bane gets a serious haul, DET might be few pieces away from contending

11 Jun 2025 19:55:38
Detroit - Boston - Utah

Detroit get Derrick White
- derrick white is a great fit with Cunningham

Cunningham
White
Thompson
Harris
Duren

Boston get Lauri Markkanen, Simone Fontecchio & Marcus Sasser

Pritchard
Holiday
Brown
Tatum
Markkanen

Utah get 1st from Boston, 1st from Detroit, Kristaps Porzingis, Sam Hauser, pick swap from Boston

15 Jun 2025 16:40:56
If I’m the Celtics I’m keeping Derrick White. Considering his defensive impact, he will do more for your team than Lauri Markkanen.

10 Jun 2025 23:09:48
Detroit: K Durant
Suns: Harris+Stewart+sasser+ 1rnd pick Det 26+ 2rnd pick bucks 27+ 2rnd pick Dal or Bucks 27

Det:
C:Duren
PF:Durant
SF:A Thompson
SG:Ivey
PG:Cunningham

11 Jun 2025 00:34:17
An argument can be made that Detroit shouldn't go in this direction but that team looks nice.

09 Jun 2025 06:34:09
Pistons - Bucks

Pistons get Giannis, Jackson Jr

Cunningham
Beasley
Thompson
Giannis
Stewart

Bucks get Harris, Duren, Ivey, Fontecchio, 3 1sts & 2 swaps

09 Jun 2025 23:51:52
Not a good enough offer.

11 Jun 2025 14:05:55
Maybe the best defense, but this offense misses terribly 3-point shooting.

07 Jun 2025 08:04:49
Pistons-Pelicans-Hornets

Pistons acquire: CJ McCollum
- Continue to build a contending team in the east, i feel like CJ fits in, his locker room presence would be good for this young team. They can absorb the rest of his expiring contract too

Pelicans acquire: 4th pick via Hornets, Jusuf Nurkic (exp) & Nick Smith
- move up on this draft and pick the best talent that they can get to fit in the roster

Hornets acquire: Simone Fontecchio, 7th pick 2025 via Pelicans, 1st round pick Pelicans 2027 top 12 protected, Detroit 1st round pick 2026 top 18 protected, pick swap 2028 Pelicans, 2nd round pick Detroit
- move down but get some nice assets in return

20 Jun 2025 04:55:56
Better get Austin Reaves

Reaves+Hachimura+Kleber
For
Murphy+Olynyk+Brown.

04 Jun 2025 12:48:31
With the nba full of surprises

Suns-nets-pistons

Suns-t harris, c johnson, m sasser, pick swap from detroit, 1st from detroit 2028 lottery protected
Nets- 2026 pistons 1st, simone fontecchio
Pistons- durant, 2nd from nets and suns

Pistons conpete with what could possibly be a wide open east next year

Cade schroder
Ivey holland
Thompson beasley
Durant reed
Duren stewart

08 May 2025 03:21:56
Cavs get: Tari Eason, Dyson Daniels, Reed Sheppard, Terrance Mann and '27 and '29 frp via Suns
Rockets get: Donovan Mitchell and Onyeka Okongwu
Hawks get: Alperen Sengun and Jock Landale
Pistons get: Isaac Okoro, Georges Niang and 2 2nds ('25 via Bucks, '27 via Nuggets)

Why?
Cleveland adds size and defense. They also save a ton of money.
Rockets add a superstar number one option and a good big man.
Hawks add a star big man who is a good fit next to Trae Young.
Pistons get some players who are familiar with Bickerstaff and some 2nds.

29 Apr 2025 01:54:29
Bucks-Pistons

Bucks get ivey, duren, harris, 4 1st round picks, 2 pick swaps

Pistons get giannis

Cade
Beasley
Thompson
Giannis
Stewart

An up and coming team would be perfect for Giannis and the Bucks look to rebuild by getting 2 young high potential players and picks

02 Apr 2025 10:45:15
GS:A Davis
Detroit: Kuminga
Dallas: T Harris+ 1rnd pick GS 26-28+1rnd pick Det26+ return 2rnd pick Dal 31+ 2rnd pick GS 30

GS:D Green/Post
PF:A Davis/TJ Davis
SF:Butler/Podziemski
SG:Hield/Moody
PG:S Curry/Payton

Det:
C:Duren/Stewart
PF:Kuminga
Sf:Thompson
SG:Ivey/Beasly
PG:Cunningham

03 Apr 2025 11:27:14
So the Mavs basically traded Luka for that garbage?

03 Apr 2025 15:31:41
not my mistake they traded Luka.
What can you get for a 32 year old injury prone player?
And what team has the assets to get him? He's only useful for a contender.

Dallas has two options. Pay Irving and built around him and Davis or start a rebuilt. Dallas own their 25 and 26 pick, so they have a two year window to rebuilt. (they don't own the 27 pick and there are swap options on their 28-29-30 pick)

07 Apr 2025 15:19:11
This trade can’t happen without a GM change in Dallas. there is no was he can admit it’s this level of, a, fail and keep his job.

17 Feb 2025 15:46:26
Detroit: Markannen
Jazz: Stewart+ T Harris+ 1rnd pick 26-28+swap option 27-29

Detroit
C:Duren
Pf:Markannen
SF:A Thompson
SG:Ivey
PG:Cunningham

20 Feb 2025 18:27:00
Markkanen would be a great get for the Pistons.

03 Feb 2025 09:19:21
Pacers: Stewart+ C Thomas+ Santos
Det: Kuminga+ K anderson
Nets: Podziemski+ 2rnd pick Indy
GS: M turner+ 1rnd pick Indy

Pacers:
C:Stewart/Bryant
PF:Siakam/Toppin/Walker
SF:Nesmith/Mathurin
SG:C Thomas/Nembhard
PG:Haliburton/McConnell/Sheppard

Det:
C:Duren
Pf:Kuminga
SF:A Thompson
SG:Ivey
PG:Cunningham

GS:
C:Turner/Looney
PF:Green/Jackson
SF:Wiggins/Moody
SF:Hield/Payton
PG:Curry/Schroder

03 Feb 2025 16:40:20
You'd rather give up Turner?

03 Feb 2025 17:55:44
Management doesn't want to gove him a New contract.

03 Feb 2025 20:56:40
Really can't picture Indy giving up Turner, a 1st, and a 2nd for a couple of role players.

02 Feb 2025 03:18:15
Cavs get: De'Andre Hunter
Hawks get: Caris LeVert, Georges Niang and two 2nds ('25 Bucks, '27 Nuggets)
Pistons get: Vít Krejčí

Why?
Cavs add a tall wing, and we duck the tax.
Hawks get cap relief and a few seconds.
Pistons add another shooter on a great contract.

02 Feb 2025 18:58:08
Can’t see this happening. You are offering two players that are substantially below the talent level from the Hawk’s you are getting in return. They cost about the same this year and could then leave. So it’s really just a salary dump for Cleveland. Lastly, the two draft picks are of little value since both will likely be near the end of the second round.

01 Feb 2025 16:28:20
5 team trade- Trade machine approved

Kings trade Fox Huerter Lyles Len McDermott 2029 1st 2nd round picks

Get Fox Isiah Stewart Simone Fontecchino

Get Duncan Robinson Trey Lyles
(2 1st via Heat 29' 31')


Jazz trade John Collins Patty Mills

Get Kevin Huerter Tim Hardaway Jr
2029 Kings 1st 2nd round picks via Sacramento

01 Feb 2025 18:34:27
Wow, you rarely see big trades that make sense. You really put a lot of thought into this one, it looks pretty decent overall.

01 Feb 2025 22:42:33
Pistons don't need Butler's attitude and the trash filler with it. better to keep Tek and Ausar.

02 Feb 2025 01:51:04
A lot of issues here but especially problematic for Detroit.

01 Feb 2025 10:51:47
1)Indy-Detroit-Bucks
Indy: Giannis
Detroit: J wallace
Bucks: P Siakam+ 1rnd pick 28-30 Indy+ 1rnd pick 27 Detroit

2) Portland-Bucks
Bucks: J grant+ return swap option 1rnd pick 2030
Portland: Middleton+ 1rnd pick Indy 28

3) Bucks-Detroit
Bucks: M Beasly
Det: Portis+ return 1rnd pick Det 27

Bucks:
C:Lopez
PF:Siakam
Sf:Grant
SG:M Beasly
PG:D Lillard

01 Feb 2025 11:27:38
1 and 3 are terrible for the Bucks with the end result turning them into a team who has to fight to make the playoffs.

01 Feb 2025 19:27:37
If the Bucks trade Giannis, it will be for a full rebuild not like this.

01 Feb 2025 22:43:29
who tf is J Wallace and why tf do u have Detroit trading a 1st for him? are you stupid?

23 Jan 2025 10:17:00
GS rebuild

GS-Houston

GS- Fred VanVleet, Reed Sheppard, 4 1st round picks, 2 pick swaps

Houston- Stephen Curry

Curry-Holiday
Green-Thompson
Brooks-Tate
Smith Jr-Eason
Sengun-Adams


GS-Detroit

GS- Tobias Harris, Ron Holland & 1st round picks with protection

Detroit- Draymond Green, Gary Payton, 2nd round picks

Cunningham-Sasser
Ivey-Payton
Hardaway-Beasley
Green-Fontecchio
Duren-Stewart

GS gets plenty of picks and 2 young backcourt guys

23 Jan 2025 14:07:16
GSW is not giving up Curry without getting at least 2 proven and high potential young players. Sheppard is not that yet and a deal wont happen unless 2 of Eason, Amen, J. Green, Jabari Smith is included.

23 Jan 2025 23:24:58
hold TF up. Harris, Holland and a 1st for D. Green? hell to the NO.

24 Jan 2025 00:23:25
Add Eason and I think it's closer.

21 Jan 2025 16:57:34
Wolves: J Collins
Detroit: J Randle
Utah: T Harris+ 2rnd pick Det+ return 2rnd pick Utah (from the Wolves)

21 Jan 2025 17:04:10
Randle might not be that good but he is worth more than Collins.

21 Jan 2025 21:38:07
So was KAT over Randle, but the Wolves want to save money.
Collins is on a good contract and the Wolves need a second scorer.

21 Jan 2025 21:40:20
Vooch is cheap and Warriors need a guy like him. Kuminga is overrated.

22 Jan 2025 17:28:59
Pretty good trade, Randle could help the Pistons and Collins is a good fit in Minny.

23 Jan 2025 02:02:25
Robbery for the Pistons. Harris is bad.

13 Jan 2025 14:03:16
The Raptors as a facilitator in a Butler trade



Miami trades: Jimmy Butler, Pelle Larson
Miami receives: Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk, Jalen Hood-Schifino, DET 2029 1st, LAL 2030 2nd

Toronto trades: Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk, Davion Mitchell
Toronto receives: Tobias Harris, Tim Hardaway Jr., Simone Fontecchio, TOR 2025 2nd via DET, DET 2031 1st (top 10 prot)

Detroit trades: Tobias Harris, Tim Hardaway Jr., Simone Fontecchio, TOR 2025 2nd, 2029 1st, 2031 1st (top 10 prot)
Detroit receives: Jimmy Butler, Christian Wood, Pelle Larson

Lakers trade: Jalen Hood-Schifino, Christian Wood, LAC 2025 2nd, 2030 2nd
Lakers receive: Davion Mitchell


Why the Heat do this: Trade Butler and save 10 million while gaining good assets. JHS can be a prospect and Brown could easily net additional value.

Adebayo/Ware/Love
Jovic/Olynyk/Johnson
Brown/Highsmith/JHS
Robinson/Jaquez/Richardson
Herro/Rozier/Burks

Why the Raptors do this: They're rebuilding so sell their older players and take on some contracts for assets.

Poeltl/Boucher
Barnes/Harris/Mogbo
Barrett/Agbaji/Fontecchio
Dick/Hardaway/Walter
Quickley/Shead/Temple

Why the Pistons do this: Get a star in Butler to pair with Cade, while not giving too much for a player of his calibre.

Duren/Stewart/Reed
Thompson/Wood/Klintman
Butler/Holland/Moore
Ivey/Beasley/Larson
Cunningham/Sasser

Why the Lakers do this: Get a real, defensively solid PG while not giving up a first, bolstering their rotation.

Davis/Hayes/Koloko
Finney-Smith/Vanderbilt
James/Knecht/Reddish
Reaves/Christie/James
Mitchell/Vincent/Milton


Thoughts?

13 Jan 2025 21:33:58
I don't hate it but Will Butler go to Detroit?

13 Jan 2025 22:48:30
Toronto getting way too much this is lopsided asf.

14 Jan 2025 00:25:30
I didn't notice both 1sts. Take out the 1st going to Toronto.

15 Jan 2025 12:32:00
Good for Lakers, good value for TOR, bad for DET given the fit. A team that got better by surrounding Cade with more shooters around him to trade 3 of them for a suspect one in Butler (40% in small volume this year but historically not good) seems wrong.

30 Jan 2025 16:41:49
Not great but ok.

08 Jan 2025 01:16:50
Miami Heat / Phoenix Suns / Detroit Pistons

Miami Heat: Tobias Harris, Tim Hardaway Jr, Ryan Dunn, 1st Suns.

Phoenix Suns: Jimmy Butler, Alec Burks.

Detroit Pistons: Bradley Beal.

08 Jan 2025 22:43:21
ok so what do the Pistons get for taking that crazy contract?

07 Jan 2025 18:37:09
Miami Heat / Chicago Bulls / Golden State Warriors / Phoenix Suns / Detroit Pistons / Denver Nuggets

Miami Heat: Tim Hardaway Jr, Michael Porter Jr., Tobias Harris.

Chicago Bulls: Jusuf Nurkić, Ryan Dunn, Oso Ighodaro, Zeke Nnaji, Andrew Wiggins, 1st Warrior, 1st Suns, 2st Nuggets.

Detroit Pistons: Bradley Beal.

Denver Nuggets: Zach Lavine.

07 Jan 2025 19:24:48
Illegal.

03 Jan 2025 10:07:49
What is better for Miami?

PiSTONS get Jimmy Butler
HEAT get Brandon Ingram and Tim Hardaway
PELICANS get Isaiah Stewart, Ausar Thompson and Kevin Love

or

PISTONS get Jimmy Butler
HEAT get Zach LaVine and 1st round pick from Pistons
BULLS get Ausat Thompson, Tim Hardaway and Simone Fontechio.

03 Jan 2025 15:37:01
Not good.

04 Jan 2025 17:20:05
you smoking crack if you think the Pistons would trade Ausar AND a 1st round pick for a washed Butler.
