The Detroit Pistons already have one of the best teams in the NBA's Eastern Conference.
What if they could bolster that roster by trading for Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo?
It's a complicated question, especially now that Antetokounmpo is set to be out with a calf injury past the NBA's trade deadline.
But one aspect of this would be easy for the Pistons -- actually putting together a good enough package to get a trade done.
ESPN's Bobby Marks broke down possible Antetokounmpo destinations in a new article on Monday, and he calls the deal difficulty for the Pistons a 2-out-of-10, meaning it would be quite easy.
"Detroit would check many boxes for Milwaukee's ideal offer," Marks writes. "The Pistons can trade up to four first-round picks, have a large tradeable contract in Tobias Harris and have promising young players Ausar Thompson, Jaden Ivey and Ron Holland."

Recent comments by head coach J.B. Bickerstaff may push back on this idea a bit.
"You don't need to skip steps and go out and trade for some sort of superstar right away because you never know how that's going to end up," Bickerstaff told FanDuel TV.
It could potentially be tough to incorporate Giannis in the middle of the season, especially if he's working his way back from an injury.
At the same time, Antetokounmpo would instantly raise Detroit's ceiling.
Milwaukee may stand pat and not move him until the summer at this point, but it'll be interesting to see if the Pistons try to get involved at whatever moment the bidding really commences.
