The Detroit Pistons had a clear plan during the 2024 offseason. They looked to improve the roster by adding seasoned vets but made sure to keep them on short-term deals so they have flexibility. Tobias Harris landed a generous contract offer from the Pistons, but the duration is just two seasons.like Paul Reed and Wendell Moore as names to watch in the trade market, there wasn’t a case being made for a player like Tobias Harris, or the other short-term veterans.
The Pistons are likely undecided on becoming buyers or sellers before the deadline. If they start to hit a wall and decline from their moderate early-season success, kicking around the idea of potentially moving on from Harris, Hardaway, or Beasley wouldn’t be a backward move. However, if the Pistons continue finding success and stay within the Play-In picture, then there won’t be any reason to shake up the roster unless it’s a big move for a star. Based on Trajan Langdon’s comments earlier this year, Detroit doesn’t see itself in a playoff-or-bust situation. As long as the 32-year-old Harris is satisfied with his role on an up-and-comer, the Pistons likely won’t rush to trade him before the February deadline.
Since suiting up for Detroit, Moore has appeared in 11 games, averaging five points, one assist, and three rebounds. He’s currently shooting 54 percent from the field.
