[Stein] Detroit has legitimate interest in acquiring Herro and league sources say those talks are taking place. The Bucks will both listen to offers for Herro and consider keeping him on the roster. Sources say that the Pistons also have Norman Powell on their list of potential offseason targets.
As The Stein Line first reported last Thursday, Detroit has legitimate interest in acquiring Herro and league sources say those talks are taking place. Sources indicate that the Bucks will both listen to trade offers for Herro and consider keeping the Milwaukee native on the roster.
Trading away Jaquez and Jakučionis in addition to Herro and Ware heightens the need for Miami to find a way to hold onto unrestricted free agent-to-be Norman Powell. Which will be complicated.
Sources say that the Pistons indeed intend to add Powell, who is coming off his first All-Star season, to their list of potential offseason targets as they look to add shooting and playmaking in support of star guard Cade Cunningham.
It’s a list that already features the likes of Herro, Charlotte’s Coby White (also soon to become an unrestricted free agent) and Oklahoma City’s Isaiah Joe in addition to players who project to be more difficult to acquire: New Orleans’ Trey Murphy III, Dallas’ Kyrie Irving and the Los Angeles Lakers’ Austin Reaves.
Pistons lead decision-maker Trajan Langdon has vowed to explore every possible option for upgrades via trades and free agency but also has his own pricy in-house matters to resolve this summer by re-signing restricted free agent big man Jalen Duren and coming to terms on a rookie scale extension with defensive ace Ausar Thompson.
