OUT – Eric Bledsoe, Marquese Chriss and Tyson Chandler
IN – Ish Smith and Andre Drummond

Why would the Pistons do this? Eric Bledsoe upgrades their PG position and they have been rumored to have interest in him and have also been rumored to have shopped Drummond. Marquese Chriss would be an upgrade at PF and could develop and fit in Detroit’s style. Chandler would help fill the rebounding void left by Andre as well as bring a vet presence.

Why would the Suns do this? Ish Smith played for the Suns before, would bring a breath of fresh air amidst the chaos and a good backup to Tyler Ulis who would likely at least temporarily be given the keys to run the team. Andre Drummond would be a defensive anchor in the middle and that is a huge need right now. Have you seen this team play defense? They don’t. That would change. Bender and Drummond together could become a force.
