The Pistons have gotten criticism for not adding more perimeter scoring and talent during either the offseason or trade deadline. A recent surprising trade proposal from Bleacher Report aims to right this wrong by exchanging Isaiah Stewart for the Thunder's Alex Caruso but the Pistons are unlikely to ever pull the trigger on such a deal. To be fair to B/R, the trade is listed as a perfect one from the Thunder's perspective, which may be true.
But the trade would hurt the Pistons by removing the heart and soul of their team. The Pistons have thrived with physicality and two-way paint dominance this season, with Stewart as a huge defensive catalyst.
