The trade speculation surrounding Detroit Pistons big man Isaiah Stewart continues to gain momentum.
Just days after reports surfaced that the Pistons had made Stewart available in trade discussions, a new report from Jake Fischer of The Stein Linesuggests the veteran forward-center is already preparing for the possibility of a new home.
According to Fischer, league sources say Stewart is “bracing” for a potential departure from Detroit as the Pistons explore opportunities to upgrade their roster heading into the 2026-27 season.
Detroit reportedly remains focused on making a “significant move” this offseason, with shooting and playmaking identified as two major priorities after the team’s surprising 60-win campaign ended in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Fischer reports that the Milwaukee Bucks, Boston Celtics, San Antonio Spurs, and Miami Heat are among the teams that have expressed interest in Stewart.
The 25-year-old remains an attractive trade asset around the league due to his toughness, defensive versatility, and team-friendly contract. Stewart is set to earn $15 million next season, with a $15 million team option for the 2027-28 campaign.
After averaging 10.0 points and 5.0 rebounds during the regular season, Stewart continued to provide his trademark energy and physicality throughout Detroit’s playoff run.
Detroit’s front office appears determined to capitalize on the momentum created by its breakout season.
With Cade Cunningham firmly established as the franchise centerpiece, the Pistons are reportedly exploring avenues to add more offensive firepower and secondary playmaking to the roster.
One intriguing possibility mentioned by Fischer involves Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro. Previous reporting from Marc Stein suggested Herro could potentially be rerouted to Detroit as part of a larger multi-team blockbuster involving Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Heat. However, no deal appears imminent at this time.
While Stewart’s future remains uncertain, another key Pistons veteran may not be going anywhere.
According to Fischer, Detroit is “determined” to re-sign veteran forward Tobias Harris after his strong postseason performance. Harris played a vital leadership role during Detroit’s playoff run and remains highly valued within the organization.
The Pistons appear poised to be one of the NBA’s most aggressive teams this offseason. As Detroit searches for additional shooting and playmaking around Cade Cunningham, Isaiah Stewart’s name is emerging as one of the most prominent trade chips available.
With reported interest from several playoff-caliber teams, Stewart could become one of the first dominoes to fall as the NBA offseason begins.
