Detroit Pistons: Possible trade of Saddiq Bey to the Knicks
The Detroit Pistons have been mentioned in myriad trade rumors as the deadline approaches, including some involving Saddiq Bey.
Bey was once thought of as a sure-fire member of the Pistons’ young core, but his lack of defense on the wing and his inconsistent shooting have some wondering if Detroit will extend him this offseason.
If they have no plans to do so, then moving him now makes some amount of sense, though they need to be careful not to give up on Bey too early, especially to a team like Miami, where he could thrive and make Detroit regret their decision.
