    Per Zach Lowe: "They needed talent; they would figure out the rest later. The figuring it out part has been harder than expected, especially with both Jackson and Drummond plateauing. Detroit has quietly explored the trade market for each of its franchise centerpieces, according to sources across the league, and come away disappointed with the potential return. (Van Gundy himself has said anyone is available for "the right price.")

    Any Drummond deal at the deadline is an extreme long shot, but Jackson remains in play for Minnesota, Orlando, New Orleans, or some mystery destination. Even if Detroit keeps him, missing the playoffs would put dramatic changes on the table this summer
    ."

    Should the Blazers be considering a McCollum for Drummond swap? Would the Pistons consider it? Makes sense for both teams - Pistons get a legit star in the making in McCollum and the Blazers get their COTF. Thoughts?

    Can't see the Pistons swapping Drummond for CJ. KCP is nothing like the scorer CJ is, but he's ten times the defender and CJ is too similar to Reggie Jackson.
    I doubt they'd even do it for Lillard (unless they could also line up a Reggie Jackson trade, like this)
