Not only thick eyebrows! The Pistons also intend to average 30+6 inside per game. The US media recommends 7 for 1 to form a super giant twin towers.

On November 24, when talking about the most surprising team that has performed so far in the new season, many fans will definitely choose the Pistons. After all, they were only a team in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs last season. As a result, they have won 12 consecutive victories this season and have reached the first place in the Eastern Conference, second only to the Thunder in the league. Relying on the excellent lineup thickness and talent, the Pistons are also expected to reach the conference finals this season.

When the regular season record is good enough, the Pistons definitely want to go further in the playoffs. Under such circumstances, they also want to strengthen the team. After the thick eyebrows were put on the shelves, famous mouthpiece Perkins said when he was a guest on a show that the source of the news he received was that the Pistons were interested in acquiring the thick eyebrows. The Pistons have many high-ranking young players. They can definitely meet the Mavericks' asking price, and the current trade value of the thick eyebrows is not as good as when they just left the Pelicans.

Meiji has previously reported that the Mavericks internally hope to exchange thick eyebrows for a trading chip similar to Durant, that is, a young potential who can realize his talent + top blue collar + draft pick. The Pistons can provide Orsa/Holland/Ivey + Toha and a first-round pick in exchange for thick eyebrows. However, Nongmei's current shooting ability is very limited. If he and Duren partner, the chemical reaction may not be that good. What the Pistons need more is a fourth position that can open up the space.

In addition to thick eyebrows, it was previously reported by celebrity reporter Lowe that the Pistons are also interested in Markkanen. But he predicted that if the Pistons want to land Markkanen, they will do whatever it takes. He suggested that the Pistons use Holland, Ivey, Toha, 4 first-round picks, and 4 first-round swap picks to trade for Markkanen. To be honest, such a bargaining chip is enough to exchange for a player of the league's superstar level, and Markkanen's performance this season is worthy of any team's high price to acquire him.

This season, Makar averaged 30 points, 6.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game. He shot 48.5% from the field and 38.8% from the three-point range. He averaged 3.6 three-pointers per game. He was seventh in the league in three-pointers per game and seventh in points per game. Makar has shown the level of a top scorer this season. He has fulfilled the talent of his model, King Nuo, and has stronger firepower than in the past few years.

The reason why Makar can produce such data this season, I think, is also related to the Jazz's plan. The Jazz have always intended to focus on cultivating young players, so Makar is not a player in their long-term plan, so trading him away to make way for young players is the real goal of the Jazz. Any team that wants to trade players wants to sell them at the highest point, so that the team can get more chips.

However, such a bargaining chip does not seem to satisfy the Jazz. According to the famous reporter Jack Fisher, in the potential Markkanen trade, the Jazz hopes to get Orsa Thompson from the Pistons. He said: Amid the ongoing speculation about Markkanen going to the Pistons, one possible obstacle that needs to be considered is that the Jazz almost certainly want Orsa Thompson as a bargaining chip. Sources revealed that in 2023, the Jazz planned to trade up the draft pick to acquire him.

The Jazz hope to be competitive next season, and have told other teams that they are willing to consider any offer, which can involve Markkanen, but the premise is that the team must be able to guarantee immediate combat effectiveness. That is to say, the Jazz trade Markkanen. What they hope to get is a young talent with cornerstone potential and excellent immediate combat effectiveness. Although Orsa is not as good as Amen in passing ability, in other aspects, he is almost identical to Amen and is one of the most athletic players in the league.

Orsa averaged 12.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.8 steals, and 0.9 blocks per game this season, with a shooting percentage of 50.8%. If he is given enough ball rights, he can perform better and provide better performance on both offense and defense. It has significantly improved the team, but the Pistons also regard him as not for sale and may not want to send him away. Orsa is now a top blue-collar player. As long as he develops stable shooting in the future, and as his game experience increases, he may be able to grow into an outstanding star.

If the Pistons are willing to pay Orsa, then they are very likely to complete the deal. If they form an inside combination of Markkanen and Duren, then the Pistons will be too strong. Their super twin towers have excellent internal and external killing capabilities. This season, Duren averaged 20.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1 steal and 1 block per game. He is only 22 years old. If they are paired with Cunningham, the Pistons do have a chance to change and compete for the Eastern Conference championship this season.

The Pistons rely on their current talent, similar to the Rockets last season, and can indeed reach the playoffs by relying on defense, but there are not enough scorers around Cunningham to assist, and the team cannot go far. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Pistons and Jazz? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
