The Detroit Pistons were long rumored to be interested in Miles Bridges before last year's trip into unrestricted free agency. Ultimately, the Charlotte Hornets signed him to a three-year, $75 million deal.
That deal hasn't aged all that well, and it's not great to be spending that much on someone who isn't the best or even second-best player on an eight-win team. In this mock trade, the Pistons, who are much improved, get their hometown player and the Hornets move off of the contract of Bridges.
