Detroit adds a defensive 3&D guard to the rotation who can take the opponents lead ball handler and rotate with Cade and Ivey when they run the offense. The Pistons are better with Stew and Reed in the game than Duren and Lyles offers a better PF option on the second unit with his size compared to Tek.

Kings are one of the worst rebounding and 3 point shooting teams in the NBA. They add Duren to clean up the glass and can move Sabonis to the 4 when they play the powerhouses of the West and they add a sharp shooter in Fontecchio who’s on a cheap deal for the next two year and don’t have to worry about negotiating with or losing Lyles.
