The Detroit Pistons are expected to evaluate trade options, as their losing streak has stretched to 23 consecutive games. Several Pistons veterans will be discussed in trade talks, but one younger player is also drawing interest around the league.

Detroit big man Isaiah Stewart has drawn trade interest from the Boston Celtics, Oklahoma City Thunder and Dallas Mavericks. All three teams are contenders that could be looking for additional frontcourt depth.

One challenge in trading for Stewart is that he's poison pill restricted. Because Stewart signed a four-year, $60 million extension that will kick in next season, his outgoing and incoming salaries differ in a trade.

Stewart counts as $5.3 million in outgoing salary on the Pistons side. For a team acquiring Stewart, he will count for $13.1 million, which is the average of his current salary, plus his four-year extension.

The Utah Jazz reportedly no longer consider Lauri Markkanen untouchable in a potential trade, but they would maintain a high price.

The Sacramento Kings, Atlanta Hawks and Oklahoma City Thunder are considered to be the three teams who most highly value Markkanen, sources tell Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports.

“Do I expect Utah to trade Lauri? No,” another general manager told Yahoo Sports. “But they are saying they’re willing to listen. They are willing to listen to calls on everyone, but it’s a matter of meeting their price like Minnesota did for Rudy [Gobert].”

Markkanen will be eligible to negotiate and extend his current contract before its final season begins in 2024-25. Given Utah's struggles this season and there probable timeline of contention, trading Markkanen at the age of 26 may make more long-term sense for the franchise. 

The Thunder own more draft capital than any other team while also possessing the expiring contract of Davis Bertans at $17 million.

Oklahoma City residents approved a ballot measure to build a new downtown stadium for the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday.

The proposed stadium has an estimated minimum cost of $900 million. The city will use at least $850 million in taxpayer funds to build the arena, with the Thunder contributing $50 million dollars.

The majority of the stadium will be funded by a six-year penny sales tax starting in 2028.

The ballot passed by 70 percent.

As part of the deal, the Thunder agree to remain in Oklahoma City through at least 2050.
