Kyrie Irving is headed to Detroit in this scenario.
Expected to be 100% healthy at the beginning of next season, he fits better with the Pistons timeline and gives him a chance at another finals appearance.
Cade Cunningham gets some help on offense.
Pistons receive: Kyrie Irving
Mavericks receive: Duncan Robinson, Caris LeVert, 2026 21st pick, two 2nd round picks.
Keys to victory tonight for the Pistons.
▪️Open the lane up for Cade. Let him get to the basket. ( Tobias-Stew front courts)
▪️Duren gives effort in transition, RUN. Opens up shooters, easy lobs or dunks for him.
▪️Go out of our way to draw contact at the rim. Get some of their key players in foul trouble.
▪️Attack after Cavs misses. Push the pace in transition
▪️Force Mitchell, Harden or Merrill to guard Cade.
An entire generation of us Pistons fans grew up watching LeBron own the Eastern Conference for over a decade.
Detroit finally has a superstar capable of making the rest of the conference feel a similar way.
@DetroitPistons
The Detroit Pistons officially have their best record since 2008, surpassing their 44 wins in 2015 and 2025.
Detroit won 59 games in 2008 and have a chance to surpass that with 23 games remaining.
The Pistons being able to swap 1st rounders with Minnesota is actually huge for this upcoming draft.
Pistons currently 29th pick.
Minnesota currently 23rd pick.
That’s the difference it might take to land someone like Yaxel Lendeborg.
HOT TAKE: The Detroit Pistons should target Klay Thompson at the trade deadline to upgrade the shooting.
The trade paths are real:
▪️2nd-round picks + the $14.3M trade exception
▪️Caris LeVert + 2nds
History lesson:
In 2012, Miami acquired 37 year old Ray Allen.
He didn’t start a single game.
He hit the most important 3-pointer in NBA history — and it won them a championship.
The Pistons don't need prime Klay.
They need Klay's pedigree and championship experience, and possibly that Ray Allen type of shot in the playoffs.
@DetroitPistons
Just an egregious act of officiating last night by John Goble. @NBAOfficial@NBA
- Pregame he tells JB, the Pistons interactions with officials “night by night” are not good. Entered game bias against Detroit.
- Ejects Ausar for walking up to him fast, pleading his case, as Goble is stepping into Ausar.
- T’d up Cade at halftime to eject him, but the league changed it to Bickerstaff during the break for walking up and pulling Cade to the locker room.
- Goble ignores JB’s timeout request and fouls on Duren in the final 5 seconds after a Duren rebound.
John Goble decided he would dictated how this game would end.
The Pistons landing Bam Adebayo would feel a lot like the Rasheed Wallace trade in 2004.
Miami sit on a 5-game losing streak with a relatively healthy roster.
That forces real questions.
The Heat have been linked to Giannis rumors, but there’s no guarantee Milwaukee ever deals him — especially to east rival, Miami.
Miami can load up on youth, stockpile picks, reload the war chest and have a chance at a highly coveted top 5 pick in the 2026 NBA draft.
@DET2335 Trump’s grant cuts reduced federal support for police and public safety programs. they did not constitute defunding the police in the common sense of cutting their core operating budgets. Defunding the police in dems eyes is slashing budgets so they can’t maintain staff & ops
@DET2335 Weaponizing them to do what?? What more are they going to do than help law enforcement? He wants less crime just like all of us lol
People out here talking like he’s going to use them to overthrow democratic politicians in office or some shit lol
@DET2335 You are making it way bigger than it has to be bro. Talk to Drew next time. There’s not enough law enforcement help anywhere. Dems made being a cop dangerous in 2020. They need help. Crime is overrunning small towns like Flint, Benton Harbor where Drew worked. Imagine big cities
