You are the GM of the Pistons...what would you do this offseason?

Option 1)

To Pistons: Towns + Murray + #27

To Hawks: Thompson or #5 (choose 1) + Moore Jr.

To Wolves: Cade + Capela

Option 2)

To Pistons: Trae Young + Hunter + Moore Jr. + #27

To Hawks: Towns + Ivey + Fournier (or other Filler)

To Wolves: Cade + Capela

My quick and dirty:

Trade Duren, Brown, and Ivey for Brandon Ingram. Draft Clingan.

Cade
Grimes
Ausar
Ingram
Clingan

Not great, but at least there's more scoring options in there.

Ingram is dicey. Good talent and could seriously help the Pistons. But he’s got one year left on his deal and he’s going to want a max extension. If you’re giving up assets to get him, you have to be prepared to pay big.

Here's my rendition:
1. Draft Reed Sheppard at 5
2 Trade Ivey to Wiz for Kispert and 26, draft Kyle Filipowski at 26
3. Trade Beef Stew, Troy Brown to Kings, Barnes to Utah, Collins and Huerter to Pistons
4. Sign Obi Toppin, Jalen Smith
5. Renounce Simone, Re-sign Quentin Grimes

PF O. Toppin/ J. Collins
SF A. Thompson/ C. Kispert
C J. Duren/ J. Smith/ K. Filipowski
SG K. Huerter/ Q. Grimes
PG C. Cunningham/ R. Sheppard/ M. Sasser

I realize Detroit needs some shooting, but how many white-guy spot-up shooters with questionable D are you going to add? Do you really need Sheppard, Kispert, AND Huerter?

I think this is overkill. Sure, draft a shooter like Sheppard. And maybe trade a redundant slasher for another shooter, but that should be enough.

I kinda like the Ivey for Kispert trade for both teams, particularly if the Wizards end up drafting another wing like Risacher.

And they have the Pistons inexplicably renouncing the rights of who would easily be the best player of that group of white shooters

Make it make sense why the Pistons would trade Ivey for Kispert and then renounce the rights to Fontecchio who was the Pistons 2nd best player when he was here. And I thought Troy Weaver's asset management was bad! haha

I worry about Simone's future contract. Also I would want the 26th pick in that trade. Could be the deal breaker otherwise.
