The Detroit Pistons squandered what they had with Christian Wood by letting him walk in free agency. Now, the team would have a chance to rectify the situation by acquiring him in this NBA trade scenario.

In order to land a player like Christian Wood, the Pistons would need ot be willing to part with some solid pieces in order to get a deal done.

The lead of this return would be Isaiah Stewart and a future first round pick. While Stewart has made headlines for his situation with LeBron James, he is a helpful player. However, Wood is more dynamic of a threat.

The Rockets would take a chance on a few wings in Josh Jackson and Hamidou Diallo. Each of these players could be re-routed to a new team for additional pieces ahead of the NBA trade deadline.
