3 Pistons that won’t last the entire 2022-23 season with the team

Someone forgot to tell the sports books, who still have the Pistons’ over/under set at 28.5 games, a bet that looks a lot tastier after the addition of Bojan Bogdanovic.
But let’s face it, there is a good chance they are right, and that the Pistons will be out of contention by the trade deadline, and if that happens, there will undoubtedly be some moves.

Either way, he’s not going to play a minute for Detroit this season, so now the only question is whether Troy Weaver will be able to get some team to give up something for him.
Keep an eye on the Atlanta Hawks, who need depth at point guard, and the Chicago Bulls, who may want to add a veteran after it was revealed that Lonzo Ball will be out longer than expected.
