New Pistons Trade Rumors on Kyrie Irving, Zach LaVine, Trey Murphy III, Isaiah Stewart & Coby White

The Detroit Pistons reportedly are focused on adding shooting around All-Star guard Cade Cunningham this offseason.

According to Marc Stein of The Stein Line, Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro, Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving, New Orleans Pelicans wing Trey Murphy III, Charlotte Hornets guard Coby White, Oklahoma City Thunder guard Isaiah Joe and Sacramento Kings guard Zach LaVine are among the players on Detroit's radar.

Stein noted that the Pistons are a team to watch as a third-team facilitator should the Milwaukee Bucks trade Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Heat. In the event that happens, Herro could potentially land in Detroit.

It was also reported by Stein that Irving and Murphy would be "much harder to acquire" for the Pistons than Herro, while White, Joe and LaVine are perhaps more realistic options.

Per Sam Amick of The Athletic, the Pistons are making center Isaiah Stewart available in a potential trade for a shooter or playmaker, or to create space to accommodate one.

Should the Pistons move on from Stewart to create additionally cap space, Amick noted that they are expected to be among the suitors for Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves should he hit free agency.

Detroit shocked the basketball world last season by finishing with the best record in the Eastern Conference at 60-22.

It marked a 16-game improvement from the previous season and a remarkable 46-game improvement from the 2023-24 campaign.

Cunningham was the driving force behind the Pistons' success, as he put up MVP-caliber numbers with 23.9 points, 9.9 assists and 5.5 rebounds per game.

Center Jalen Duren developed into an All-Star as well with averages of 19.5 points and 10.5 rebounds per game, which is likely why the Pistons reportedly view Stewart as expendable.

The combo of Cunningham and Duren got the Pistons all the way to Game 7 of the second round of the playoffs, but they fell to the Cleveland Cavaliers in blowout fashion, ending what was an otherwise spectacular season.

Entering the offseason, there is no question that three-point shooting is the Pistons' biggest shortcoming, as they ranked 28th in the NBA last season with 11.0 three-pointers made per game and 17th with a three-point shooting percentage of 35.6 percent.

Duncan Robinson was the Pistons' best long-range shooter with 2.9 trifectas made per game on 41.0 percent shooting from deep.

Cunningham was second on the team with 2.0 three-pointers made per game, and nobody else on the squad made more than 1.3 treys per contest.

Any of the players rumored to be of interest to the Pistons would instantly become among their best shooters and give their offense a huge shot in the arm.

Of course, whether or not the move is a net positive depends on what the Pistons have to give up, but if they can get one of those players for a package headlined by Stewart, it is safe to assume they would improve, as Paul Reed is more than capable of excelling in Stewart's role.
