11-for-1 big deal? The Jazz and Lions opened their mouths, the Pistons are really crazy

In the NBA, the most surprising team this season is the Detroit Pistons.

So far this season, the Pistons have 13 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference. Moreover, their lineup is incomplete, and the main shooting guard Ivey has not returned yet. Under the leadership of Cunningham and Duren, the Pistons played a very strong defensive counterattack. They averaged 10.3 steals per game this season, ranking third in the league.

The Pistons have made good use of so many steals, averaging 22.7 points per game by taking advantage of opponents' mistakes, 17.5 points per game on fast breaks, and 64.3% on average fast break shooting percentage per game, ranking among the top three in the league. It can be seen that although the Pistons' outside long-range shooting level is average, they do not rely on this and rely entirely on quick offense and defense.

However, there was one such team last season, and that was the Houston Rockets. Entering the playoffs, the Rockets originally hoped to win the Western Conference championship, but were defeated by the experienced Golden State Warriors in the first round. The Rockets don't have enough offensive firepower and don't have many options in positional battles. As a result, they introduced Durant this season to solve this problem.

The Pistons also hope to solve this problem. The most suitable scorer on the market currently is Markkanen. The Utah Jazz began to falter again after their main center, Kessler, was reimbursed for the season due to injury, so Markkanen was once again on the trading table.

Today, according to Zach Lowe, a well-known American basketball reporter, if the Pistons want to trade for Markkanen, they may have to make an 11-for-1 deal with the Jazz, sending Ivey, Holland and Tobias Harris, plus the exchange rights of 4 first-round picks and 4 future draft picks, a total of 11-for-1, in order to get Markkanen, who averages 30 points per game.
