Best Trade Assets: C Jalen Duren, G Jaden Ivey, F Ausar Thompson
Untouchables: G Cade Cunningham, SG Ron Holland II
It’s difficult to draw a line between untouchable and available for these Pistons now that Trajan Langdon has taken over as president of basketball operations. Holland was his first draft pick and Cunningham signed a five-year, $224 million max extension, so we can safely assume that both are safe.
If, hypothetically, all other young players were to be on the trade block, Duren, Ivey and Thompson would field the most calls.
Duren is still just 20 years old heading into his third season and already ranked No. 3 overall in the NBA in rebound percentage (22.2 percent), even ahead of players like Domantas Sabonis, Rudy Gobert and Anthony Davis.
Ivey, 22, has struggled with his shot efficiency but has shown enough flashes as a scorer and passer to make us believe there’s All-Star potential there.
Thompson, 21, has elite defensive potential with his 6’7″ frame and averaged 10.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks in his 38 starts as a rookie.
