NBA Trade Rumors: Pistons Reportedly Turning Down Offers For Austin Daye

If you're a fan of the sound of crickets chirping, you can inquire into the solid links between the Detroit Pistons and potential trades with other teams as the NBA trade deadline approaches. There's been no solid links thus far, with the closest thing being a loose tie with the Los Angeles Lakers and Will Bynum, but nothing remotely productive came of that. Then again, what can be described as productive?

Providing we're just speaking in terms of any trade talks at all, it appears there have been some previously unreported. According to Vincent Goodwill on Twitter, the Pistons have had multiple offers for Austin Daye, some of which have come from Western Conference teams. The Pistons have apparently turned down those offers.

It's no secret that Daye is somewhat unhappy, though he's not at the level of demanding a trade or anything of that nature. He just wants to play, something he hasn't got much an opportunity to do since being drafted in 2010. There was a lot of turmoil in the organization in 2010, and then the lockout limited his development. Still, he isn't being used much, but it's clear that the Pistons believe he has value if they're declining offers.

NBA Trade Rumors: Pistons Would Do Deal, But 'Nothing Is Imminent'

The NBA's trade deadline is just two days away, and for those Detroit Piston fans curious if their team will make any moves, well, according to Matt Dery, the Pistons pre- and post-game host on 97.1 FM The Ticket, Detroit wants to make a deal, but "nothing is Imminent".

Currently, the Pistons (15-27) sit in 11th place in the Eastern Conference standings and are three games back of the last playoff spot held by the Milwaukee Bucks (18-24). The scenario makes it a bit unclear if Detroit will be buyers or sellers at the deadline.

Reports earlier in the month, had Will Bynum as a trade option, however, his name hasn't surfaced since then.
