Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[HoosierDaddyKid]

The offseason started with the report that Detroit wanted to go big game hunting.  Then they said Detroit might be a landing spot for Norman Powell.  Then they got Isiah Joe and resigned Kevin Huerter.  Not sure if they're just hedging their bets or they're out on a bigger addition. 

Retaining Duren and adding Powell or Herro would've been a good offseason.  If their offseason ends up being Isiah Joe, Kevin Huerter, Sabonis, and letting Stewart go, that is an F.  We shall see.

I echo these sentiments. I don't know what Detroit is going to do next. They are my second favorite team, as I was born and raised there, and reveled in their 3 championships. I don't believe for one bit they're going to sign and trade Duren. It's postering. The unfortunate part is that if someone like the Kings or Lakers give him an offer sheet, they'd have to match, and that would torpedo their flexibility, as they still have to sign Ausar Thompson. Drafting Okorie seemed prudent as he ascended up most draft boards. I didn't like the Kevin Huerter signing at all. He's not the same knockdown shooter he was with Atlanta. I'd rather keep Duncan Robinson, who's better from 3. Free agency starts in earnest tonight. I would think they'll make other moves to improve on a good season last year that nobody saw coming.
