Why The Detroit Pistons Do This Deal - The Pistons are rebuilding and may make a decision this season between Ivey and Cade Cunningham. Ivey is a key ball-handler, and his trade worth may suffer if he remains too long. However, if he excels in a reserve capacity, his worth may rise. The Pistons are trading their lottery pick for future first-round picks.

Why The Washington Wizards Do This Deal - The Wizards have acquired Jaden Ivey, the Kings' fifth-ranked prospect in the NBA draft. This transfer is viewed as a possible cornerstone element for the squad, which hopes to be competitive by 2027. The choice to keep these guys is still up in the air.
