Memphis, Tenn. — The Pistons’ season has been derailed by injuries and subpar play, and with just two days before the NBA trade deadline, Detroit seems poised to rebuild.

There hasn’t been a clear indication whether the rebuild will be a long-term project with a large-scale deconstruction, or a short-term retool.

Monday night likely provided a clue.

The Pistons and Phoenix Suns are engaged in talks to send Luke Kennard to the Suns in a deal that could return the Pistons a first-round pick, in addition to young guards Jevon Carter and Elie Okobo.
