On September 17, 2026, the Detroit Pistons traded two future second-round picks to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Isaiah Joe. Joe, who struggled for minutes on a deep Thunder roster, averaged 11.1 points and 42.3% shooting from three last season. In Detroit, he is expected to receive increased playing time alongside Cade Cunningham and Ausar Thompson, potentially enhancing the team’s shooting and offensive efficiency. The addition of Joe may provide more opportunities for playmaking and scoring, crucial for the Pistons' development going forward.
