Lou Williams’ Message to Kevin Durant Could Bode Well For Detroit Pistons

Regardless of what the national media might say or whatever picture they might try and paint -- the Detroit Pistons are currently one of the most intriguing teams in the NBA.

One year removed from a bottom-table finish in the Eastern Conference, the Pistons are a rapidly rising team, littered with young talent.

Led by Cade Cunningham, who is averaging 25.7 points per game on the season, the Pistons are certainly one team to keep an eye on, even if they might not quite be a title-contending squad.

What is the team's avenue to becoming a contender? They could certainly elevate their ceiling with the addition of a superstar talent, though that's much easier said than done.

One player who will almost most certainly be available through a trade this offseason will be Kevin Durant, who the Phoenix Suns will likely have to move after an awkward trade deadline of nearly dealing him.

The Suns are living far under their expectations. Their only path forward might be to move Durant, and that was before the trade deadline drama.
