It is almost trade deadline day, and the Pistons have already been mentioned in many trade rumors so far. Well, there will likely be many more to come. Here is what has already been reported.
According to Stu Jackson, the Pistons are offering Brandon Jennings, Caron Butler, and Jonas Jerebko to the Brooklyn Nets for Joe Johnson.
This would likely have an effect on KCP or Kyle Singler as well, as he would either play the two or the three positions. It would also make Augustin the Pistons' likely starting point guard for at least the rest of the season.
Another possibility that has been reported so far is the Pistons acquiring Trey Burke from the Utah Jazz for Greg Monroe. This would likely be gone in accordance with the Joe Johnson trade, as he would replace Jennings if he were acquired.
Finally, another reported option has the Pistons acquiring Norris Cole and Danny Granger from the Miami Heat. This appears to be unlikely, although it has been rumored for some time now.
Overall, the Pistons only have a little bit of time to decide how they want their franchise to be next season and beyond, and Stan Van Gundy knows the decisions he makes today could impact this year, this year's offseason, and next year.
