The Pistons could have options if they decide to deal some of their rotation players.

Detroit forward Reggie Bullock and point guard Ish Smith are garnering trade interest, according to a report from the Free Press, which cites an unidentified team source. The team, however, is hoping to re-sign both players as free agents this summer, the report says.

Bullock, 27, is having a career season for Detroit. He’s averaging 12.3 points and 2.4 assists in 30.6 minutes per game while also shooting 38.7 percent from 3-point range.

Smith, 30, has been a reliable contributor off the Pistons’ bench. He has tallied 8.7 points and 2.8 assists in 23.2 minutes per appearance in 2018-19.

The nine-year veteran suffered a minor groin injury in Detroit’s loss to the Heat last weekend and is considered day-to-day.

The Pistons opened the season with a 13-7 record under new coach Dwane Casey but have struggled since. They’ll enter their matchup Wednesday against the Pelicans in New Orleans with a 20-26 record.
