Why the Trade Benefits the Detroit Pistons

The Pistons traded away Andre Drummond prior to the shutdown. They might be choosing to go in a different direction, which is why a Blake Griffin trade would benefit them. Plus, he has dealt with injuries and has a hard time staying on the court.

This trade would jumpstart the rebuild in Detroit. They would send away veterans like Rose and Griffin, while adding Rozier and the No. 3 pick.

They would have the flexibility to do whatever they wanted with that selection. Luke Kennard would stay in place and Detroit could look to re-sign Christian Wood.

When the Pistons sent away Drummond, they made a point that they were looking towards a rebuild. This is a beneficial deal where they can send away some expiring contracts and add a few young pieces, especially Terry Rozier from the Hornets.
