On January 30, 2018, the Detroit Pistons - Los Angeles Lakers agreed to trade Avery Bradley, Tobias Harris and Boban Marjanovic for Blake Griffin, Willie Reed and Brice Johnson. This was a strong move by the Detroit Pistons, increasing the rebound capability of the team as well as there PPG, the addition of Blake Griffin paired with Andre Drummond will create more passing lanes to the post as there will be difficulty guarding the low block for opposing teams in the NBA. This move's rewards might take in more time but if Blake Griffin can do the team playing with the team, Detroit will have a chance at a playoff appearance.

The final move of Detroit to trade these player is to provide the team with more scoring power and as well as a player (Jameer Nelson) with experience passing and providing space for big man with high scoring abilities in the perimeter and the low post position. Being a veteran guard, Jameer Nelson will provide valuable guidance to Reggie Jackson. Brice Johnson will provide potential as a wing player and provide opportunities to score in the perimeter or off the three point.
