Detroit Pistons continue to lord it over in the Eastern Conference, being the no. 1 team there since the first week of the season. They have been so far rewarded through an All-Star Game coach selection for JB Bickerstaff. Cade Cunningham is a starter while Jalen Duren might make his first ASG ever.
The main goal, of course, is to win the title. The February 5 trade deadline is their chance to get better. Is there anything they need?
Bickerstaff said they can still grow but suggested that he is happy with where they are and what they have right now.
“To be honest with you, it’s hard to say we’re not happy with what we have,” Bickerstaff said. “There’s no reason for us to feel otherwise because of what these guys have done together.
“This is clear that these guys have done the job that we’ve asked them to do and put themselves in position to be where they are now. Obviously there’s still room to grow, and we keep talking about that, but that’s for everybody. But I just think we’re in a really good spot right now.”
Detroit Pistons’ major problem according to analysts
Pistons are being connected to several Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors after the Milwaukee Bucks superstar reportedly expressed unhappiness with the way their current season is going.
However, he might not be the guy they are looking for. Their main problem is their 3-point shooting.
They are currently 20th in the league in terms of shooting percentage with 35 percent. They shot just 19.4 percent in their last outing when they won by a hairline against the Denver Nuggets. Their best players from beyond the arc is Duncan Robinson who attempts from the three 7 times a game.
Several trade rumor mills has them buying a shooter on the trade deadline. Among those being endorsed to be dealt to Pistons are Michael Porter Jr., Coby White, and Bobby Portis.
