What works, is not touched? That phrase heard a thousand times invites the Detroit Pistons to keep their hands to themselves and focus on enhancing what they already have on the roster; However, when it comes to the NBA there is another path that says… ‘go all out, it’s your chance.’ This second current has as a great example the 2019 Toronto Raptors and their acquisition of Kawhi Leonard with a ring-shaped prize. What path will Michigan take? Well, it seems like a middle ground.
Although for quite some time it sounded like they could go for a superstar of the caliber of Anthony Davis, such an option seems completely ruled out as they do not want to do anything that resembles a revolution, but of course, that does not mean that they are not hungry to improve by incorporating a player they like.
It is precisely at that point that the name of Herbert Jones appears. As reported by Brett Siegel of ClutchPointsthe Pistons are looking for a forward and are motivated by the option of incorporating the current New Orleans Pelicans player, a 3&D that they understand would make them improve on both sides of the court. And how would they expect to achieve it? With Jaden Ivey.
Although the young man guard He has shown on occasions that he can be important in the team, the reality is that its growth has occurred without him and at present it seems difficult to find a relevant place for him in the rotation. Given that scenario, and given that he is a young boy with a sign, they would be moving for him to achieve a transfer before the market closes, since he will also be a restricted free agent in the summer.
The Pistons, from anecdote to favorite
In October, even in November, the Pistons were still seen as a fad, as a rare review that in time it would return to its rightful place. Not only has this not been the case, but in Detroit they have continued to improve to currently be comfortably first in the Eastern Conference with a balance of 33-11. More clearly: they are the favorite to win the East – also in the playoffs – and they want to prepare for it with as many weapons as possible.
