After losing in the first round of the 2025 playoffs to the Knicks, the Pistons are looking to make some impactful roster moves this offseason.

One insider reported that Detroit may look to go after two talented '"stretch bigs" this summer.

What two players will Detroit go after?

Per Marc Stein, the Pistons have an interest in Timberwolves' Naz Reid and Pacers' Myles Turner.

Both players were conference finals participants this postseason, and have been playing great basketball at this point in their careers.

Naz Reid might be the cheaper and more realistic option.

Turner is bound for a big payday and could very likely stay in Indiana.

Naz Reid has a player option for the 25-26 season (last year of his contract), so we'll have to wait and see what decision he makes first.

The Pistons don't have a ton of shooting among their three main bigs (Isaiah Stewart, Jalen Duren and Paul Reed), so adding a Turner or Reid to the roster can create better spacing on the floor for the other shooters.

Paul Reed is a free agent this summer as well as Dennis Schroder, Malik Beasley and Tim Hardaway Jr. who are some of the other notable Pistons UFAs.
