• What each player brings to the Pistons
• What a realistic trade package could look like
• Which one fits Detroit’s long-term timeline better
We also react to the Malik Beasley news, as the veteran sharpshooter is reportedly nearing a deal overseas — potentially ending any chance of a Pistons reunion this season.

If the Pistons could only trade for one — Trey Murphy III or Herb Jones — who are you choosing?

Trey Murphy is a bit younger and would contribute across the board. He would be a boost. Malik would be golden though.
We don't need a trade… Why keep pushing for it
I think Keon Ellis is the perfect addition on the margins right now. Give the Kings Sasser and a couple 2nds. Something we’re definitely going to need in the playoffs is another 3 and D guy to help guard guys like Brunson, Maxey, Mitchell, and potentially Shai. Those smaller shifty guards that at times get Ausar into foul trouble. Keon’s also young enough and potentially cheap on his next contract to be more than a rental.
I'm a "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" type of guy. Only person I'd bring in is Malik Beasley. If he's not available, I'd say stand pat. The team is too great to risk messing up it's chemistry.
Nope no thank you it is mpj or bust I do not care about the defense it's not completely horrible but we have the defense to make up for it all I want is his height and 24+ppg scoring and lethal three-point shooting also rebound and can play make a bit you would be perfect as our 2-4 he would just look so good in a Pistons uniform get it done trajan Langdon😊
Partizan is a club in Serbia… He’ll love it there, but games and derby matches are intense.
It’s Michael Porter Jr. imo! He’s a very good athlete and he’s a sniper from deep. I believe if he was brought into the Pistons culture, this would help him to become a better defender. Look at Duncan, for example. He’s not known for being a good defender but since he has joined the Pistons, you can clearly see that he’s at least making an effort on that end of the floor. As long as MPJ, is making an effort defensively and he shows signs of being a capable defender, I think he’s the player that’s worth the risk. MPJ, doesn’t have to be an elite defender, he just has to be able to hold his own..🤔🧐
Where are you from??
trey murph would def fit the team too.
Who I want: Keon Ellis, Westbrook, Royce O'Neal
Current Pistons bodies/salaries I'm willing to move: Sasser, Klintman, Green
Draft capital I'm willing to move: our 2026 1st, a future 1st pick swap, up to 6ish future 2nds, all the future 2nd round swaps EDIT: not literally all of this in the trade, I mean some kind of combination of items from this pool of items. This is the hardest part for me to nail down – what's the least amount of items we'd have to include from this pool of draft capital to get a deal done where we come away with the 3 players I want and lose the 3 players I'm willing to part with?
Salary I'm willing to take back (likely as balast for a trade with, like, Phoenix): Saric
Is there a framework for a realistic trade with those stipulations? Is Royce's defense still kinda solid, at least if he's buying into the team identity and he's mostly playing against 2nd units? What does everybody else think?
Because these are the kinds of trade moves I want to see, I think we can and should wait till at least the offseason for some kind of "big swing" (we could always get Harris to do a sign and trade to be salary ballast if we needed him to for said offseason big swing)
Cade is $ when it’s the 4th quarter with 3 min to go . Dude is clutch averaging 11 pts in the 4th quarter
Trade for Cam Whitmore he can shoot the the ball and spead the offense jump out of the gym
Veteran point guard and some more shooting puts us above the rest. Our length gets exposed a lot on those offensive rebounds.
10:05 ive always said Trey Murphy would be a great fit on our team. His skill set and age definitely fits the Pistons.. hell naw to MPJ no no no
Saddiq Bey for Levert and one or two 2nds ?
If Beasly is fine with playing overseas for 2mil I don’t understand why no team won’t risk 2mil to sign Beasly now and play him immediately. If he ends up getting suspended eventually then big deal you lost 2mil worth of this years cap space which is NOTHING. If he ends up being innocent then you got him in his prime for 2mil this year.
I’m honestly surprised the Pistons haven’t done this.
I would 1000% do that Trey Murphy trade, he also is a good defender so he’d fit right in. The other player id love to get it Michael Porter Jr from the nets. I think both players would be a great fit. Trey money wise makes it easier than Porter.
Pistons are blending into a very cohesive unit. Team chemistry develops with time. Calm down.
Why would you give a draft picks when this is the deepest draft stock in a while? Unless there are future picks but future picks are still very important because you never know what you're going to need. Players are going to get too expensive to keep. This team is stacked so it's going to be hard to keep everybody. Those pics are going to be very valuable. That's why I'm kind of getting tired of these trade rumors. Unless it's a hell of a deal nobody's giving up too many picks. Plus I think ivey will turn into something special. He might become a sharpshooter. Let's see what happens
Pistons need another shooter someone like Klay before the injury and Megan giving him gaga 3k and a stretch 4 that can rebound like a Chris Bosh!
@7:37 BEASLEY update
I dont think enough people are talking about the consistency of Stew shooting the 3. I think he was around 40%
Get rid of the mustache please or grow a beard.
Realistically you need a stretch 4 who can shoot, players that make sense are try Murphy,JJJ, and mpj. Players who can offer 3 point shooting and also be able to take over in games where cade is getting doubled and such. Problem is who do you give up
I think the Knicks edge out the Pistons currently. Net rating is generally a good indicator
Trey Murphy or make the block buster gannais trade any else I don't want Lauri can't play defense and I don't like that
👍🏽👊🏽👌🏽💪🏽
B.S. 😂
JD just forgets he is a grown ass man from time to time. You can see when he remembers 😂 I think JB reminded him at halftime last game.
Herb Jones can be an absolute dog on defense. If he's paired with our dogs that should reignite his career. I've wanted him since he was a.Rookie.
Send Caris and 2 second round picks
