The Pistons' biggest move before Thursday's trade deadline might not involve Andre Drummond.
It might be Luke Kennard instead.

February 4, 2020 Per Wojnarowksi, a possible package coming to Detroit would be guards Jevon Carter, Elie Okobo and Phoenix's first-round pick. The Suns currently own the 11th overall pick in this year's draft.
The Pistons are
open to dealing Kennard, who's in the midst of a career year, because of his injury issues and the fact he'll be due a significant raise next summer. Kennard has had knee troubles since his rookie season.
Detroit's 12th overall pick in 2017, Kennard's averaging 15.8 points and 4.1 assists while shooting 40 percent from three this season.
