They made a move to acquire James Wiseman from the Golden State Warriors while shipping out Kevin Knox and Saddiq Bey in the process. Knox was sent to the Warriors who then rerouted him to the Portland Trail Blazers while Bey was traded to the Atlanta Hawks. It’s always tough to see teammates get traded at the NBA trade deadline and it appears as if that was the case for Pistons rookie Jaden Ivey who <a href="https://twitter.com/IveyJaden/status/1623790989188923393?s=20&amp;t=dv34WKV1UV4JVSt2mW6OtQ">took to social media</a> to <a href="https://twitter.com/IveyJaden/status/1623791487770034176?s=20&amp;t=dv34WKV1UV4JVSt2mW6OtQ">express his thoughts</a> on losing both Knox and Bey.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Go be great KK..Love my dude 🙏🏾❤️</p><p>— Jaden Ivey (@IveyJaden) <a href="https://twitter.com/IveyJaden/status/1623791487770034176?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 9, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Love you 41🤞🏾❤️</p><p>— Jaden Ivey (@IveyJaden) <a href="https://twitter.com/IveyJaden/status/1623790989188923393?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 9, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>It was a nice, heartfelt message from Jaden Ivey to his now former teammates. Both Kevin Knox and Saddiq Bey had been in the league for a couple of years now and they no doubt took Ivey under their wing and helped get him acclimated to the NBA.</p><p>This season, Knox had been averaging 5.6 points per game and 2.6 rebounds with shooting splits of 46.9 percent and 37.1 percent shooting from the three-point line while playing in 42 games. Bey was averaging 14.8 points and 4.6 rebounds with shooting splits of 40.4 percent from the field and 34.5 percent from three-point range. Knox will be on his fourth team in five years while Bey had spent all of his seasons in the league with the Pistons thus far.</p><p>The Pistons still have some solid young pieces, including Ivey who is one of the team’s centerpieces. As a rookie, Ivey has been averaging 15.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 4.5 assists while shooting 42.1 percent from the field and 33.8 percent from three-point range.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Sports. No deal is imminent, and Golden State and Detroit have discussed other possible parameters of a <a href="https://twitter.com/JLEdwardsIII/status/1623736129198456833" rel="noopener">deal for Bey involving Moses Moody</a> and second-round picks, per James Edwards III of <i>The Athletic</i>.</p><p>Already under pressure to make a win-now move at the trade deadline, that weight no doubt increased on Golden State after the Dallas Mavericks, Los Angeles Lakers and finally the Phoenix Suns—<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kevin-durant-trade-grades-blockbuster-nets-suns-deal" rel="noopener">hello, Kevin Durant in the desert!</a>— all completed blockbuster trades to level up in a tightly-packed yet wide-open Western Conference. It’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/1-warriors-player-in-danger-of-being-benched-in-2022-23-nba-season" rel="noopener">been clear for months</a> Wiseman wouldn’t be <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-james-wisemans-unfortunate-circumstances-have-steve-kerr-feeling-bad-for-him" rel="noopener">part of the Dubs’ postseason rotation</a>, and moving his contract would save Joe Lacob tens of millions in luxury-tax penalties both this season and in 2023-24.</p><p>Bey fits the broad outline of the player archetype Golden State has eyed with the deadline approaching, a solidly built 6’7 wing who can knock down open shots and capably defend multiple positions. He’s not a deadeye shooter nor a true stopper, but Bey’s scoring versatility, solid physical tools and experience playing in a motion-heavy, read-based offensive attack at Villanova make the 23-year-old a potentially snug fit for the Warriors.</p><p>Surely just as enticing to Golden State as what Bey offers on the floor is his contract situation, due just $2.9 million this season and $4.6 million next year before becoming a restricted free agent—key as the Warriors face an unprecedented tax bill come the fall.</p><p>The trade deadline expires Thursday at 12:00 p.m. (PT).</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Edwards III wrote on Sunday.</p><p>“Additionally, in talking to people around the league, it does appear that of Bogdanović, Burks and Bey, the latter may be the most gettable.

At 23, he’s already a legit NBA player with room to improve,” Edwards asserts. “There certainly are reasons to hesitate when pondering any potential trades involving Bey, especially given his age, his ability to score in bunches and, despite being a streaky 3-point shooter the last two seasons, he is a respectable threat from distance.”</p><p>If the Pistons were to take Bey into restricted free agency in the summer of 2024, it would give the team one more year of true evaluation with a more competitive roster and a healthy Cade Cunningham.</p><p>Edwards believes the Detroit front office will not entertain a Saddiq Bey trade unless they are presented with an offer too good to refuse ahead of Thursday’s NBA Trade Deadline.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

However, while most of the smoke coming out of the Knicks camp has centered around young wing Cam Reddish, the most recent rumor is one regarding Detroit <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pistons-news-saddiq-beys-rogue-screwup-that-worked-out-perfectly-on-stunning-game-winner-vs-warriors" rel="noopener">Pistons forward Saddiq Bey</a>.</p><p>“In general, a name that has been <a href="https://www.sny.tv/video/ian-begley-on-og-anunoby-saddiq-bey-and-other-potential-trade-deadline-moves-for-the-knicks-begley-s-mailbag" rel="noopener">talked about recently</a> is Saddiq Bey in Detroit,” relays SNY’s Ian Begley.</p><p>“The Knicks are among the teams that have registered some interest in Saddiq,” Begley adds. “…Bey, obviously a Villanova guy, wing, could help the Knicks from a depth perspective.”</p><p>Bey, who is in his third season after being selected with the 19th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, is averaging 14.6 points and 4.5 rebounds per game this season. While a player whose skillset is more of a jack-of-all-trades type than a specialist, Bey has nonetheless managed to standout for his ability to get to the free-throw line.</p><p>He also <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pistons-news-saddiq-beys-epic-villain-rant-after-dropping-51-on-magic" rel="noopener">poured in a career-high 51 points</a> against the Orlando Magic last season, highlighting his capabilities as an x-factor offensively.</p><p>However, as Begley alludes to, there is another attractive attribute of Bey that’s quite significant. Aside from his tendency to get hot and his 34.3 percent free-throw rate this season, the experience he gained at Villanova while playing for Jay Wright, is invaluable. Though Villanova is struggling this season, they’re considered one of the perennial powerhouses in the NCAA due to their discipline and dedication to the defensive end.</p><p>Those are exactly the type of traits that the Knicks need to add to their rotation. They’re also the kinds of characteristics that seasoned head coaches such as Tom Thibodeau would love.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The arrival of Bojan Bogdanovic in an offseason trade with the Utah Jazz has relegated Bey to more of a complementary piece than a featured option. In fact, the Pistons saw it best to bring Bey off the bench, which he has done for 16 of their past 20 games, including their Wednesday night contest against the Golden State Warriors.</p><p>But a demotion to the bench evidently hasn’t killed Saddiq Bey’s killer instinct.</p><p>Bey may have driven the dagger onto Klay Thompson and the Warriors’ hearts with an <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pistons-news-saddiq-bey-sends-klay-thompson-warriors-home-unhappy-with-ice-cold-buzzer-beater" rel="noopener">incredible turnaround game-winner</a>, but that wasn’t how the Pistons drew it up. The Pistons intended for Bojan Bogdanovic to curl towards the corner and receive an elevator screen from both Bey and Isaiah Stewart. But the 23-year old marksman didn’t hold up his end of the bargain.</p><p>“I was supposed to set another screen. But I wanted the ball so bad. I (might get) yelled at in the film session,” Bey <a href="https://twitter.com/JLEdwardsIII/status/1610873320488194054" rel="noopener">said after the game</a>, per James L. Edwards III of The Athletic.</p><p>Instead of setting a screen for Bogdanovic, Saddiq Bey flashed deep towards the three-point line. Thankfully for him, his teammate Killian Hayes obliged with a pinpoint pass towards his shooting pocket. And a second later, the game was over and the Pistons have come out on top to snap the Warriors win streak.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Incredible juxtaposition of a perfectly executed play by the Wsto get a Klay 3, &amp; this set that appears to be royally screwed up: Bogdanovic was gonna get an elevator screen, but Bey doesn’t set his part of the screen so of course it’s him who hits the incredible game winner <a href="https://t.co/W0RJKCkBGY">pic.twitter.com/W0RJKCkBGY</a></p><p>— BBALLBREAKDOWN (@bballbreakdown) <a href="https://twitter.com/bballbreakdown/status/1610877146356133888?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 5, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>It should come as no surprise at all to know that Bey <a href="https://theathletic.com/4059728/2023/01/05/pistons-saddiq-bey-game-winner-vs-warriors/?source=emp_shared_article" rel="noopener">is a Kobe Bryant stan</a>.

Here are three reactions from another dramatic game at Chase Center, one that ends the depleted Warriors’ season-long five-game winning streak.</p><h2><b>Klay Thompson catches fire late, again</b></h2><p>The Pistons led by eight after the first quarter and three entering the fourth, out-playing the short-handed yet surging Warriors despite sporting the league’s worst record and playing without franchise cornerstone Cade Cunningham, sidelined for the season’s remainder by surgery on his shin. But Golden State fought tooth and nail with Detroit all game long, finally jumping ahead by one midway through the fourth quarter.</p><p>The young Pistons didn’t flinch, though, regaining their composure to ensure the Warriors would have to earn a sixth straight win. Klay Thompson, coming off a vintage 54-point performance in Golden State’s <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-reactions-klay-thompsons-50-piece-highlights-epic-double-ot-win" rel="noopener">instant-classic victory</a> over the Atlanta Hawks on Monday, got the hot hand again when it mattered most. He scored 17 of his team-high 30 points in the fourth quarter, including 10 straight to help the Warriors cut the Pistons’ seven-point lead to one with 4:35 left.</p><p>But Thompson’s biggest shot came a few minutes later, when he capitalized off Steve Kerr’s perfectly drawn out-of-bounds play by splashing a right wing triple to tie the game at 117-117 with one second left.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">KLAY THOMPSON TIES THE GAME WITH 1 SECOND TO GO 😲<a href="https://t.co/2GWENdz7x1">pic.twitter.com/2GWENdz7x1</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPointsApp) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPointsApp/status/1610869092784951297?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 5, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Bey spoiled a second throwback effort from Thompson on the game’s final possession, draining a turnaround triple as time expired. Don’t let another wildly encouraging night from Thompson vanish in the frustration of buzzer-beating loss, though.</p><p>Klay showed off his all-time shooting chops again on Wednesday, but also got to the rim for several tough interior finishes. Remember <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-klay-thompsons-stern-6-word-warning-to-nba-after-dropping-54-points" rel="noopener">not just the Hawks game</a> if Thompson continues flashing pre-injury form over the season’s remainder, but this one, too.</p><h2><b>Kevon Looney, coming through in the clutch</b></h2><p>Forty eight hours after capping Thompson’s 54-point night with a game-winning put back, Looney’s fingerprints were all over another dramatic Warriors comeback late. Check out this pivotal defense-offense sequence below.</p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><p>Looney’s verticality smothers Bey at the rim, a perfect example of arriving early and textbook execution at the point of attack. Then he tangles with Isaiah Stewart as Thompson lets fly on the other end, somehow pawing and crossing a long rebound away from Alec Burks in one motion. Thompson’s ensuing layup cut Detroit’s lead to 117-116, keeping the Warriors’ come-from-behind bid alive.</p><p>Looney wasn’t quite as subtly dominant on Wednesday as he was against Atlanta. There were a couple occasions when rookie Jalen Duren, the youngest player in the NBA, just proved too strong, quick and explosive for him. But a line of eight points, 14 rebounds, six offensive boards, two steals and two blocks is certainly nothing to sneeze at for a big playing Looney’s role, especially when he continues so forcibly impacting winning in the clutch.</p><h2>Elite home defense falls apart</h2><p>The Warriors entered this game with basketball’s <a href="https://cleaningtheglass.com/stats/league/fourfactors?season=2022&amp;seasontype=regseason&amp;start=10/1/2022&amp;end=01/3/2023&amp;venue=home" rel="noopener">second-best home defense</a>, allowing 105.7 points per 100 possessions, according to Cleaning the Glass. The Pistons blew that away on Wednesday, finishing with a gaudy 124.7 offensive rating—over 13 points more than their bottom-six season-long mark.</p><p>Detroit went 16-of-36 from three, good for 44.4%. The visitors shot an efficient 26-of-44 from the paint, with Duren a perfect 8-for-8. They turned the ball over just eight times, second-fewest in a game this season.</p><p>Absent not just Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan Kuminga, their most disruptive one-on-one defenders, but also JaMychal Green and James Wiseman, Golden State simply lacked the overall size and athleticism to consistently bother Detroit’s offense on Wednesday. There’s a chance the Warriors will be without all of them on Saturday against the Orlando Magic, if not longer.</p><p>Cross your fingers Wiggins returns by then. Otherwise, Orlando’s unique blend of length, size and explosion all over the court could prove too much for the short-handed Dubs.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

But the Pistons, despite their 10-30 record, gave Klay Thompson and the Dubs everything they could handle, with Saddiq Bey <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPointsApp/status/1610869497141039105" rel="noopener">finishing the job</a> for Detroit at the end.</p><p>After Klay Thompson nailed a game-tying triple off a stellar out of bounds play from the Warriors, the Pistons found themselves staring at the prospect of overtime. But Saddiq Bey confidently stepped up the plate on the ensuing possession to ensure that the Pistons won’t have to play another five minutes. With only one second left in the game, Killian Hayes inbounded the ball to Bey deep from beyond the arc. Bey caught the ball, turned around quickly and let it fly from downtown just as the buzzer sounded. Swish.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">SADDIQ BEY SAYS GOOD NIGHT TO THE WARRIORS 🚨<a href="https://t.co/wqtJVuHVjA">pic.twitter.com/wqtJVuHVjA</a></p><p>— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPointsApp) <a href="https://twitter.com/ClutchPointsApp/status/1610869497141039105?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 5, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>This is a fitting conclusion to what has been such a thrilling contest between the two teams.

Nonetheless, the Pistons had every answer for whatever the Warriors were throwing at them on the night.</p><p>Saddiq Bey ended up with 17 points on the night, but none bigger than the final three he scored to spur the Pistons to a 122-119 victory to snap the Warriors’ win streak. Rumor has it that the Pistons are <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba-rumors-3-other-pistons-in-trade-talks-not-named-bojan-bogdanovic" rel="noopener">shopping Bey on the trade market</a>, but after this stone-cold performance, their asking price for the sharpshooter may have just gone up.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Using his degree in Journalism and an unbridled passion to learn how the card industry works, he churns out the latest news and opinion pieces about the hobby. He also possesses a treasure trove of knowledge on all things comics.</address><h3 class="op-kicker">Cards</h3><figure class="op-ad"></figure></header><p>The Detroit Pistons aren’t exactly the hottest team in the NBA right now, nor are they the preference of card collectors in the market. After languishing in the middle for so long, Motor City has decided to break it all down by trading Blake Griffin and other key pieces a couple of years ago to focus on rebuilding. As it stands, that effort has led to drafting Cade Cunningham and other young stars who have the potential of bringing their team back to relevance.</p><p>On the hobby side of things, there are several promising prospects when it comes to the Pistons. Although the team lacks the presence of a proven All-Star in their ranks, their young guys make up for it by the potential they have shown so far. We take a look below at some of Detroit’s intriguing talent and who deserves to be collected in the card market.</p><h2>Isaiah Stewart</h2><p>Looking at the <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/DET/2022.html">Pistons’ lineup</a> and collectors will see that there’s a big gapping center-shaped hole in the middle. Detroit currently lists veteran Kelly Olynk and rookie Luka Garza in this role, while Marving Bagley III and Jerami Grant can play it in small-ball lineups. This is where it gets interesting for Isaiah Stewart and his rookie card potential in the market.</p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><p>In his second season in the NBA, Stewart is showing potential to become his team’s primary option at the 5 spot. In the 60 games he has played and started for the Pistons, the sophomore is averaging 8.3 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 1.1 blocks per contest. These numbers can still go up, especially if his pick and roll game with Cunningham evolves or if he becomes a credible threat from the defensive end of the court.</p><p>With an imposing size, an immovable frame, and the potential to smash the boards on both ends of the floor, Stewart has what it takes to be an important role player for Detroit. In turn, this will bode well for his rookie cards, which are very, very affordable in the market.</p><h2>Isaiah Livers</h2><p>As it stands, the Detroit Pistons score 105.3 per 100 possessions, which is 28th in the league, and are 24th in defense with a 113.8 rating. This opens up the need for additional scoring and another credible defender in their lineup, which Isaiah Livers can potentially provide.</p><p>Although he hasn’t seen much action during his first year in the NBA, Livers is showing flashes of what he can actually do. In the 12 games he has played, the rookie is making 40% of his shots from downtown and 53% from two. His 6’7″ size allows him to defend multiple positions and lock down the opposing squad’s best options at the perimeter while adding another layer of offense for Detroit.</p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><p>His recent performance against the Miami Heat offers a glimpse of that promise. In that contest, the rookie notched 16 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and a single steal in 31 minutes off the bench. If Jerami Grant gets in the offseason, collectors can expect Livers to get more minutes as Bey’s backup from the bench, which would give more attention to his rookie cards in the market.</p><h2>Marvin Bagley III</h2><p>It’s pretty hard to root for Marvin Bagley III in the card market. For one, the forward/center has the unfortunate reputation of being picked ahead of Luka Doncic and Trae Young, two guys who have become the faces of their respective franchises. Plus, his constant encounters with injuries have caused him to drop in the hobby in favor of other young stars who have been playing better.</p><p>But in all of these unfortunate circumstances, being part of a team like the Sacramento Kings played a part in Bagley’s early struggles. Now that the big man has a new home in Detroit, the pressure of living up to his draft expectations and producing for a team that hasn’t reached the playoffs is no more.</p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><p>In the 12 games Bagley has played for the Pistons since being traded, four of which as a starter, he has averaged 13.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 26.3 minutes per contest. If he gets more minutes next season with a Cunningham running the offense, Detroit’s latest acquisition will get the opportunity to prove his doubters wrong by becoming an unstoppable force down in the paint. Of course, those will make his rookie card value soar from its current value in the market.</p><h2>Saddiq Bey</h2><p>While Grant is Detroit’s number one option on the wing, there’s a pretty strong chance he’s going to be traded for draft picks or other young pieces in the near future. If that happens, the no-brainer rookie card investment here is Saddiq Bey.</p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><p>Proof of his promising potential as Detroit’s wing of the future happened during the Pistons’ recent match against the Orlando Magic. In that contest, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/pistons-news-saddiq-beys-epic-villain-rant-after-dropping-51-on-magic/">Bey posted 51 points</a> on 63% shooting from the field and an insane 71% from beyond the arc while making 9 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals. What makes it better is that Cunningham wasn’t present during the said game, which gave an intriguing look at Bey as his team’s number one option.</p><figure><img src="https://clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/thumb-1024x574.jpg"></figure><p>Of course, there are areas in Bey’s game that needs to be improved for him to reach another level in the card market. If he manages to break the 20-point barrier per game while becoming a better playmaker, three-point threat, and defender, collectors will notice. This possible improvement will be great for his rookie card value, which is very attainable at the moment.</p><h2>Cade Cunningham</h2><p>Without a doubt, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/cade-cunningham-rookie-cards-are-starting-to-heat-up-as-pistons-stun-hawks/">the best rookie card option</a> that can be found from the Detroit Pistons is no other than Cade Cunningham. The number one pick quietly started the season quiet then used that momentum to overtake his peers in the rookie race.</p><p>In the 55 games he has played this year, the Pistons’ star is averaging 16.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists, and 1.2 steals. Cunningham possesses impressive playmaking, shot creation, credible defense, and a unique feel for the game. These are the skills Detroit can surround quality pieces with. In the event Detroit gets better players and Cunningham improves to be his team’s number one option, his card value in the market will soar to the next level.</p><figure><img src="https://clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/X-reasons-why-Cade-Cunningham-rookie-cards-should-be-on-your-radar-1024x576.jpeg"></figure><p>Without a doubt, Cunningham is the top dog to get with Bey coming in at second. Bagley, Livers, and Stewart all present a lot of room to grow from their current value in the market and are safe options that won’t cost a lot of money. And with the Pistons out of the playoff picture, prices of these guys will plummet during the offseason, which is the ideal time to invest in them.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The 6-foot-7 small forward has been heating up for the Pistons of late, and he carried on with his fine form on Monday against the Cavs.</p><p>Bey had an off night shooting on Saturday in a blowout loss against the Washington Wizards, but in his previous three appearances, the 19th overall pick of the 2020 draft has put up averages of <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/beysa01/gamelog/2021">21.0 points</a> (on 60.9 percent shooting), 3.0 rebounds, and 2.5 steals, while also connecting on 4.5 triples per game on an astounding 60.0-percent clip.</p><p>Bey has emerged as quite a steal for the Pistons, and he has shown that he has a bright future ahead of him. It looks like he has done enough to establish himself as one of Detroit’s young studs as they look to form a core that they will build around over the next few years.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
