After all the smoke cleared in the eventful final hours before Thursday’s NBA trade deadline, the Pistons made a big splash — but not the one that many observers predicted.

This isn’t 2020. It’s so far from it, that it’s hard to believe that was only two years ago. The Pistons reached the trade deadline and had a tough decision to make with Andre Drummond, who had a pending player option for $28 million. They wanted to move in a different direction and parted ways

Another bad third quarter did the Pistons in. And the first quarter wasn’t so good, either. The Dallas Mavericks notched 30-plus points in each of those periods, on the way to a big blowout.

Take Sunday’s rematch against the Minnesota

The Pistons were unable to make a slim halftime lead last Sunday, falling 118-105 to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Minneapolis. The Pistons, playing without star rookie guard Cade Cunningham, dropped their fourth straight game. The Pistons led 56-55 at halftime, but the Timberwolves pulled away with a 35-26 fourth quarter.

This could be a big week for the Pistons. Maybe. Maybe not. The NBA trade deadline is Thursday, and one of the biggest names being bandied about in trade rumors is Pistons forward Jerami Grant.
