Detroit can't have high hopes for the 2023-24 season. The Pistons lost 65 games this past season, although that number isn't too worrisome given how young this roster is.
Drafting and developing young talent should remain the focus until this group gives a clear indication it's ready to compete. The Pistons should be examining every opportunity to turn veteran players into long-term assets.
Bojan Bogdanović might be the most obvious candidate, but Detroit could get decent mileage out of a Burks trade, too. His shooting, defense, experience and ball-handling are elements that could help out a winning team; the Pistons just don't happen to be one yet.
There could be some merit in picking up a seemingly stalled prospect like Okoro and seeing if a scenery change might get the 2020 No. 5 overall pick going. He is a dominant defender with the ability to finish plays around the basket.
While Okoro's shot is an obvious concern, it isn't necessarily a hopeless one. After all, he's a solid 74.9 percent free-throw shooter for his career, and he hit a respectable 35.7 percent of his threes over the past two seasons (albeit on a low volume of attempts).
