Detroit Pistons: 3-point shooters to target in a trade

1. Tim Hardaway Jr.

Hardaway currently ranks fifth in the NBA in 3-point attempts and sixth in 3-point makes, and he’s connecting on 35.5 percent of his tries.

The son of five-time All-NBA and five-time All-Star point guard Tim Hardaway is putting up All-Star type numbers himself this season, leading the New York Knicks in scoring at 23.2 points per game. He’s already had three games of 30-plus points this season.

Detroit could offer Reggie Jackson for Hardaway straight up and it would work under the salary cap, but the Knicks would presumably also want draft picks as their seemingly never-ending rebuild drags on. As they look to make a splash in free agency, Jackson’s contract may not be very appealing to New York, however, especially with THJ in the middle of a breakout year.

If the Knicks could be enticed with a different offer, however, Hardaway wouldn’t just be a plug-and-play shooter for Detroit. He’s a legitimately solid overall player who would make the Pistons better immediately and give them another pure scoring threat, not just a shooter.
