The Detroit Pistons are rolling to the first seed in the Eastern Conference, but regardless of what happens this season, they will be looking for upgrades in the summer and should have plenty of opportunities.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bleacher Report put together a list of the player most likely to be traded<\/a> from every\u00a0team,\u00a0and there are names that could interest the Pistons depending on how big a swing they want to take.\u00a0<\/p>\n Sam Hauser\u00a0<\/p>\n The Celtics will be up against the aprons again and may look to\u00a0jettison\u00a0a contract\u00a0that\u00a0would be easy to move. Hauser\u00a0isn\u2019t\u00a0the most dynamic\u00a0player,\u00a0but he does one thing very well, which is shoot the 3-ball, which happens to be a skill the Pistons need.\u00a0<\/p>\n Hauser has shot over 41 percent from\u00a0long\u00a0range in his\u00a0career,\u00a0and his $10 million contract would be easy for the Pistons to absorb if the Celtics are just looking to cut money. This\u00a0wouldn\u2019t\u00a0be a splashy\u00a0move,\u00a0but the Pistons may not be looking for one if they make a deep playoff run.\u00a0<\/p>\n Michael\u00a0Porter Jr.\u00a0<\/p>\n I wish the Nets would just trade this guy already so I can stop hearing about him. MPJ will be on an expiring contract, so the Pistons\u00a0probably wouldn\u2019t\u00a0have to give up much to get him, though matching salaries\u00a0wouldn’t\u00a0be easy.\u00a0<\/p>\n My guess\u00a0is that\u00a0the Pistons will look elsewhere. Next!\u00a0<\/p>\n Kyrie Irving\u00a0<\/p>\n Hmmmm.\u00a0<\/p>\n Dallas is clearly rebuilding around Cooper Flagg and may not see Irving on that timeline.\u00a0He\u2019s\u00a0coming off\u00a0a serious injury\u00a0that cost him his season, so I\u00a0can\u2019t\u00a0imagine Kyrie will garner a king\u2019s ransom in a trade.\u00a0<\/p>\n On paper,\u00a0Irving\u00a0is exactly what the Pistons need<\/a>, as\u00a0he\u2019s\u00a0a creator who can play off the ball as\u00a0well,\u00a0and\u00a0he\u2019s\u00a0an excellent 3-point shooter. He also has championship chops and has been in as many big games as\u00a0just about anyone\u00a0in the league.\u00a0<\/p>\n He had success with another ball dominant guard (Luka)\u00a0so he\u00a0would fit right in with the Pistons.\u00a0<\/p>\n The issues with Irving are\u00a0obvious;\u00a0he\u2019s\u00a034 years old and just off an injury and has two expensive years left on his deal. He may also demand an extension to stay around,\u00a0so would potentially come with long-term risk.\u00a0<\/p>\n I\u00a0wouldn\u2019t\u00a0rule\u00a0Irving out, but the money would be tough to\u00a0match,\u00a0and he comes with risk the Pistons have been reluctant to take on when it comes to health.\u00a0<\/p>\n Obi Toppin\u00a0<\/p>\n
