The Detroit Pistons have just two games before Thursday's NBA trade deadline, a date crucial to this team's future and the regime in charge of it.
The Pistons on Sunday host the Orlando Magic. It's a look into the diverging paths of two rebuilds, with the Magic rising from ashes into playoff contention, while the Pistons continue to burn, with a league-worst 6-42 record. (Read our recent story tracking the two rebuilds here.)
Orlando (26-23) is tied with Miami atop the Southwest Division and tied for the seventh spot in the Eastern Conference despite numerous injuries all season. They are led by second-year forward Paolo Banchero's 23 points, 6.9 rebounds and five assists per game. The 21-year-old is one of 12 players who have played at least half their team's games while averaging at least 23 points, five rebounds and five assists this season.
