Kevin Durant to Pistons prediction would turn East powers to Detroit

It seems like every few years, we hear rumors about Kevin Durant joining a new team. 

Durant, still a very good player at this stage of his career and probably a top-10 guy in the NBA at the moment, should be wanted by the Houston Rockets if he ever becomes available. 

The only question for Durant and the Rockets is what they're looking to get in return and where he wants to be.

Certain teams could use Durant more than others, including the Detroit Pistons, with one recent prediction suggesting Durant could be traded.

“There are persistent whispers out of Space City that the Rockets might already be completely exhausted by the Kevin Durant experience. Between the constant burner-account noise, the missed high-stress postseason games, and an overall grumpy demeanor, KD's veteran presence appears to have worn heavily on Houston’s deep stable of young talent. 

“While his individual scoring efficiency remains otherworldly, his volatile personality makes him a prime candidate to be flipped. The Detroit Pistons have quietly emerged as a fascinating suitor, eyeing Durant as the ultimate high-leverage final piece to elevate their rising squad into a certified championship contender,” Joe Cervenka wrote.

After what the Pistons did on both sides of the basketball last season, I don't see why it wouldn't be a good idea to bring in a player of Durant's caliber. I know people like to hate on him and make it seem like he's a bad teammate or something, but Durant is ridiculously good at basketball. It would be a wise decision. 

Not to say Detroit would be guaranteed to win a championship or anything, but it would be in a much better spot than it is now, with one of the greatest basketball players we've ever seen.
