The NBA trade deadline just might be the Detroit Pistons’ time to shine

The Detroit Pistons are kind of just getting through the season. They have an An injury-ravaged roster that is chock full of inexperienced talent, and they are not even on the periphery of the Eastern Conference race. But the Pistons are going to be mighty popular as the Feb. 6 NBA trade deadline approaches.

The Pistons have two veterans — centre Andre Drummond and guard Derrick Rose — who are going to be at the heart of many trade discussions, not only because contenders think they might be key pieces to an extended playoff run but because the Pistons need to rethink themselves for the years to come.
