A new team in the Detroit Pistons has now emerged with reported interest in acquiring Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving, according to the Detroit Free Press.

A person with knowledge of the Pistons' front office told the Free Press recently that the organization is interested in the four-time NBA All-Star, who nailed the winning shot to clinch the 2016 NBA title for the Cavs.

Just last month, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that roughly 20 teams were interested in Irving, so this report just confirms Detroit is one of those.

The Pistons took a step back last season after promise the year before. With Reggie Jackson battling injuries early on, he never truly hit his stride while Andre Drummond took a step back nearly all-around. It's resulted in both of these previously thought of franchise cornerstones being involved in trade rumors.

Drummond is certainly the most intriguing trade prospect the Pistons would have to peak the Cavs' interest. Cleveland may even want Jackson as well in a hypothetical deal, or a young prospect like Stanley Johnson.

It will be interesting to see if the Pistons can make any ground with the Cavs on a deal for Irving or if this is as far as the story goes.
