ESPN’s Chris Broussard is reporting that the Cleveland Cavaliers, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Detroit Pistons are discussing a three-way trade that would drastically shake up the lottery of the 2011 NBA Draft. Here’s a breakdown why the potential deal does or does not make sense for each team.

Detroit Pistons Finally Find a New Owner
It looks like the NBA’s Detroit Pistons will soon have a new owner. The struggling club announced on April 8 that Tom Gores, a billionaire investor from California, has agreed to take over the franchise.* It’s been a long time coming, considering current owner Karen Davidson has had the club on the market for about a year now.
It’s believed that the deal [...]

Pistons hire Kuester; he’ll be gone in two years
The Detroit Pistons has hired a new head coach, again. Next to jump on the ‘coaching carousel’ is former Cavs assistant, John Kuester who was hand picked by Dumars to run the show earlier in the week.
