If you look at the Pascal Siakam trade and the value the Pacers gave up for him, this starts to make a little more sense. Bulls need cap space and picks and Pistons don't want to give up young talent. Since the Pistons technically owe picks until 2027, this is the best they SHOULD offer in terms of talent and salary matching.
