  • As Roundtable Sports reported through Yahoo Sports, Reid has started every game for Charlotte after arriving in the summer trade that sent LaMelo Ball to Minnesota.

The Detroit Pistons have already established themselves as legitimate contenders in the Eastern Conference, but a massive new trade proposal could take things to another level.

Additional details
  • Reid would provide another experienced frontcourt option without requiring the Pistons to move Duren or John Collins.
  • Through his first 10 games with Charlotte this season, Reid averaged 16.6 points and 8.1 rebounds while adjusting to a larger role following his offseason move from Minnesota.
  • More importantly, this is strictly a hypothetical deal, with no confirmed indication that the Pistons, Hornets, and Bulls are actively negotiating such an agreement.
  • However, the question is whether Pistons president of basketball operations Trajan Langdon would be willing to sacrifice that much of Detroit’s future.
  • The potential addition of Reid, who signed a five-year, $125 million contract in 2025, would give Cade Cunningham another proven offensive weapon.
