The Detroit Pistons are reportedly in trade talks with the Houston Rockets.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported a big transaction between the Houston Rockets and the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday. The Rockets acquired Victor Oladipo, a two-time NBA All-Star, and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl in this transaction. Following that transaction, Yahoo! Sports’ Jake Fischer claimed that the Detroit Pistons and the Houston Rockets were in talks about trading Pistons guard Alec Burks.
A Trade in the Making?
In his report, Fischer stated the following:
Can Oladipo help the Rockets win another game? According to league sources, Houston has held trade talks with Detroit about Alec Burks, and the experienced ball-handler has a $10.5 million salary that is virtually a direct match. Monty Williams, the Pistons’ new head coach, may start rookie swingman Ausar Thompson and bring sophomore standout Jaden Ivey off the bench. Marcus Sasser, the No. 25 pick in this year’s draft, has also impressed in preseason, and there are still minutes to go around for Joe Harris and Killian Hayes, as well as Monte Morris off the bench.
Bottom Line: Trade Talks Are Underway
For many clubs, the NBA offseason is a period of reinvention and transformation. The trade talks between the Detroit Pistons and the Houston Rockets highlight the league’s roster volatility. As negotiations continue, it remains to be seen how these prospective transactions will affect both teams’ futures. NBA fans will be watching these developments closely as the offseason develops.
