The Detroit Pistons continue to be dominant through the first couple of weeks of play, climbing to the top of the Eastern Conference and 2.5 games ahead of the Toronto Raptors -- two teams that have been building momentum after a few undesirable seasons.

One former player who's gotten involved in the Markkanen trade discussions is Chandler Parsons, who, during a segment of Run It Back on FanDuel TV, says he wants to see the Jazz star to get dealt, and if he does, to look to either the San Antonio Spurs or the Detroit Pistons.

Detroit Pistons star Cade Cunningham explained why he believes that his team is a championship contender amid a strong start to the 2025-26 season.

In Monday’s victory over the Pacers, Cade Cunningham led the way for the Pistons as he recorded 24 points, 11 rebounds and six assists while Jalen Duren added 17 points and 12 rebounds of his own. Now Detroit will try to extend their winning streak to 14 games on Wednesday night in a tough road matchup against the Celtics.

Despite owning their best start since 2005–06 and sitting at a blistering 15–2, the Detroit Pistons still can’t shake the national disrespect surrounding their rise.

The Utah Jazz "would almost certainly want" forward Ausar Thompson in return for trading 2022-23 All-Star Lauri Markkanen to the Detroit Pistons, according to NBA insider Jake Fischer.

The Detroit Pistons have tied their franchise record for the longest winning streak, but the team remains hungry amid championship contention.
