At the start of free agency, the Detroit Pistons had connections to the Sacramento Kings. As the Kings were reportedly interested in potentially dealing away Malik Monk, the Pistons were dubbed a team to watch in that market. Other organizations, such as the Golden State Warriors, even poked their heads in as potential suitors for a multi-team deal. The Pistons eventually struck a deal with the Kings, which was a sign-and-trade to move Dennis Schroder.
