Detroit Pistons
NBA Trade Deadline target: OG Anunoby, Toronto Raptors
Entering this season, there was hope that the Detroit Pistons could be a surprise playoff team in the Eastern Conference. On paper, they had the talent to do so and just required one of their young players to make a big jump. The hope was that Cade Cunningham would be that player for the Pistons but it's been everything but a clear jump to stardom so far this season. That could prompt the Pistons to be proactive in the trade market heading into the deadline.
While making a move for OG Anunoby would be bold, especially considering that he could test the free-agent market next summer, it's an acquisition that could end up jump-starting the Pistons into the next stage of their development as a franchise. Anunoby could be the young star that the Pistons need to unlock their true potential.
The Pistons could also be a good spot for Anunoby considering he's looking for an expanded offensive role and a change of scenery could also do him well. The final hurdle could be getting Anunoby to sign a long extension in Detroit.
