New Detroit Pistons president Trajan Langon certainly has plenty of work to reshape Detroit’s roster into something worth building. He has plenty of options — young players to ship out, a top-5 draft pick to use or trade, and $65 million in cap space to either grab legit starters or to sell off for future assets.
He also has what might be his most (only?) appealing non-Cade Cunningham asset that appeals to playoff-caliber teams in Isaiah Stewart.
Beef Stew is a switchable, quality defender who can stretch the floor as a five (and probably only a five), and would look much more impactful on a 55-win team when he is the fourth-best player on the floor than he does in Detroit when he is probably the closest thing to a two-way player on the entire roster.
