Kendrick Perkins teases Pistons Anthony Davis trade interest
The The Detroit Pistons are off to a strong start to the NBA season. An NBA insider and former player teases that the Pistons are interested in trading for a big name to bolster the club. Kendrick Perkins says that Detroit wants to trade for Anthony Davisas reported by Hoops Hype.
“My sources also tell me, big guy, that Detroit has a lot of interest in old Anthony Davis. (…) You have to match the money,” Perkins said. “Get rid of Tobias Harris who is making a lot of money on an expiring contract, right? You’ll be able to get maybe some young talent out there, but as long as you keep Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren and get AD in there on the Pistons team . . .”
It’s unclear how serious Detroit is about a possible trade. Davis played for the Dallas Mavericksafter he was traded there last season for Luka Dončić. Davis has been distraught and has spent a lot of time on the sidelines since joining Dallas.
This season, the Pistons hold a 14-2 record. Detroit beat the Milwaukee Bucks 129-116 on Saturday.
Anthony Davis appears to be on the move
Davis has received a lot of trade speculation in recent weeks. Trade rumors intensified after the Mavericks fired Nick Harrison, who was responsible for the Doncic-Davis trade.
When healthy, Davis has shown he can still produce. This season, the big man is averaging nearly 21 points per game, as well as 10 rebounds per game. He appeared in only five games for the humble Mavericks.
The Pistons aren’t the first team to be linked to Davis. The Chicago Bulls have also been named as a possible destination for a veteran.
The Pistons next play against the Indiana Pacers on Monday night. Time will tell if Davis ends up going to the Motor City.
