In the days leading up to the Miami Heat’s blockbuster acquisition of Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Detroit Pistons were linked as a possible third team to get in on the action.

With the deal getting done, it’s becoming clear that the Pistons are not going to get involved, barring any buzzer-beater changes.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Giannis sweepstakes is a two-team deal between the Heat and the Bucks, leaving the Pistons to consider other options.

Detroit Pistons Get Tyler Herro News After Giannis Antetokounmpo Trade

Tyler Herro is the name that is relevant for Detroit.

Over the past week, the Pistons have been linked to the veteran guard. Initially, it seemed the Pistons would be open to picking up Herro from Miami in a three-team deal, putting the sharpshooter next to Cade Cunningham.

Instead, the Pistons will have to make a call to Milwaukee.

The situation gets slightly complicated, considering there is mutual interest between Herro and the Bucks. Still, the Pistons could reach out to Milwaukee’s front office to see what it would take to land Herro.

If Detroit is still trying to get Herro, which last I heard they were still interested as of yesterday, they will be still talking with MIL to see if something can happen. I’ll be interested to see if a Stein report comes out soon with an update on that interest.
