<p>The Detroit Pistons wasted no time in 2016 NBA Free Agency signing former Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ish Smith. In the aftermath, that appears to be the only thread tying the teams together going forward. The team has already cashed in their insurance policy, getting 21 starts out of Ish Smith this early in the season.<br />
Right now, head coach Stan Van Gundy is trying to find that magical combination of complimentary talent, so it’s highly unlikely the team will deal and add to the confusion.<br />
Conversely, the team is earning the label of biggest disappointment in the NBA. While the team is solid defensively (team fourth in NBA), they need help in the offense (27th in the NBA).<br />
Nerlens Noel would be a solid contributor to this defensive skewed team. But the impact of Jahlil Okafor’s offense warrants a thought or two as well. The Pistons could package picks and players and not really hurt the team’s future, but deliver a solid scorer like Jahlil Okafor to a team that needs offense.</p>
