The Detroit Pistons have $14 million available under the salary cap, meaning the path to adding talent at the NBA trade deadline is easier for them than any other team in the NBA. A recent report indicates that the Pistons are one of several teams interested in trading for Lonzo Ball of the Chicago Bulls. Ball, a guard who is in his first season back after two seasons lost to injury, has a $21.3 million expiring contract.
The move makes sense for the Pistons, who have a clear hole at backup lead guard following the loss of Jaden Ivey to a fractured fibula.
