DETROIT — The Pistons got who they wanted and what they wanted. And in a perfectly fortuitous twist, Jaden Ivey wanted them just as badly.
GM Troy Weaver was determined to make his team more athletic, quicker, bigger. He wanted a running mate for backcourt star Cade Cunningham, and also a bigger interior presence. He didn’t have to wait long to get what he wanted.
This was an impressive and perhaps franchise-shaping haul, and with the pending free-agency period, more is likely to come. It was a crazy night from the start, and as he tends to do, Weaver took advantage.
