Detroit Pistons are not expected to make major trades before the deadline, league sources told Brett Siegel. Core players Tobias Harris, Jaden Ivey, and Isaiah Stewart are likely staying put, as the team values continuity and Harris’ veteran presence.
Detroit Pistons fans may be breathing a sigh of relief. Despite rumors of a win-now move ahead of the trade deadline, league sources told Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints that the Pistons are not expected to shake up their roster.
The team is planning to hold onto its core players, including Tobias Harris, Jaden Ivey, and Isaiah Stewart.
Harris stands out in the discussion—he is 33, sidelined with a hip strain, and on an expiring $26.6 million contract.
Still, Detroit values his veteran leadership and on-court contributions as they push for a playoff spot.

Under president of basketball operations Trajan Langdon, the Pistons have taken a careful approach, favoring continuity over a short-term splash. That strategy is unlikely to change unless an ideal opportunity presents itself.
If the team does consider a major move, one player to watch is Trey Murphy III. Langdon, who was part of the New Orleans front office that drafted Murphy, would be familiar with the guard’s game.
