The Detroit Pistons have, so far this season, started the year off unexpectedly well. As such, even though the Pistons lost a ton of games last season, they are halfway to their win total from then already.
Having had the success, some wonder if the Pistons should make a play for a superstar player to assure a spot in the playoffs. One idea floating around: trade for Kawhi Leonard from the Clippers.
But this trade isn’t a good thing for the Pistons at the moment. Here’s why:
- Kawhi Leonard is costly: The Pistons would have to sacrifice many players and picks to acquire him.
- Kawhi Leonard may get injured: He has already missed plenty of games in the past due to his injuries.
- They are still young. Their young players are coming up nicely and should not hastily do a trade that would jeopardize their team.
The Pistons should keep developing the young talent they have on their roster. If they continue performing well, they might find a veteran player to support them in the future, but for now, they should stay put with the plan at hand.
