The 2024/25 season of the NBA is going better than initially thought for the Detroit Pistons. The franchise is 8th in the Eastern Conference with a record of 19-19.

The arrival of J.B. Bickerstaff as head coach and the emergence of Cade Cunningham as an NBA All-Star are two of the main reasons for the team's good performance.

In addition, the signings in the summer of veterans like Tobias Harris and Tim Hardaway Jr. have elevated their game to the next level. All good news.

For that reason, as noted by Brian Windhorst of ESPN, Detroit has shifted its course in the trade market. The team had planned to utilize their salary cap space and stay below the luxury tax to facilitate other trades.

But with the Pistons in the playoffs picture, sources say they are adjusting their strategy and will consider their own moves to enhance their roster and maintain flexibility for the upcoming season.
