Report: Detroit Pistons Make Isaiah Stewart Available for Trade
The Detroit Pistons may be preparing for a significant roster shakeup this offseason.
According to a report from Rob Amick of The Athletic, league sources indicate that Pistons big man Isaiah Stewart has been made available in trade discussions as Detroit looks to reshape its roster following a 60-win season and a trip to the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
The report notes that Detroit is actively seeking additional shooting and playmaking, two areas that became glaring needs during the teamβs playoff run.
Stewart, affectionately known as βBeef Stewβ among Pistons fans, has been a key contributor since arriving in Detroit as the No. 16 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. During the 2025-26 season, he averaged 10.0 points and 5.0 rebounds while shooting 55.0% from the field and a respectable 33.3% from three-point range.
However, the Pistons reportedly appear comfortable increasing the role of veteran big man Paul Reed, who impressed at times during Detroitβs postseason run.
Stewart is entering the sixth year of his NBA career and has two years remaining on his contract worth a combined $30 million. The second season of the deal includes a team option, making him an attractive trade asset for teams looking for frontcourt depth, toughness, and defensive versatility.
While no specific trade destinations have been reported, Stewartβs availability signals that Trajan Langdon and the Pistons front office are aggressively exploring ways to improve the roster around Cade Cunningham as they look to take the next step from playoff contender to championship contender.
For now, Stewart remains a member of the Pistons, but it appears Detroit is willing to listen if the right deal presents itself this offseason.
