Jimmy Butler
Detroit would get: SG Jimmy Butler
Chicago would get: SG Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, SF Tobias Harris, 2016 1st Round Pick, 2017 1st Round Pick (protected)
Chicago is in a similar pivotal point in deciding to make a move or stay put before the deadline. If they do, the Pistons may want to acquire about the Bulls’ star wing. Butler could be exactly the backcourt mate Reggie Jackson needs as well as give Van Gundy another floor-spacing threat.
Kevin Love
Detroit would get: PF Kevin Love, PG Kay Felder
Cleveland would get: SG Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, PF Jon Leuer, C Aron Baynes, 2018 1st Round Pick
Pistons’ two-way threat Kentavious Caldwell-Pope finds himself at the expense of yet another trade option that Detroit should explore. This time it would be with the division foe Cleveland Cavaliers. LeBron James, who is the de-facto President and General Manager of the Cavs maybe pressuring brass to dump Love for anything other than Kevin Love. Despite his injuries, Love is still an all-star stretch four that the Pistons could use.
