The latest Pistons rumored trade target is the Pelicans' Herb Jones, but he's not an ideal fit in Detroit. Rather than helping fix the Pistons' biggest flaws, Jones would add another unreliable shooter to the mix. His addition will only exacerbate the Pistons' existing problems without adding any new elements to the team.
A Herb Jones trade isn't worth it for the Pistons
Jones was once a premier 3-and-D wing in the NBA, just two seasons ago. In 2024, he earned All-Defense First Team honors while shooting 42% from three. In the time since then, he's regressed and raised significant injury concerns.
