There is talk of the Pistons looking to take in the 32-year-old player with Green a Michigan native making his basketball breakthrough with the Spartans from Michigan State University. The player has always stated that his idol was Pistons legend Ben Wallace.

Detroit is still very much a franchise in reconstruction despite having incorporated future prospects such as Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren and having a No. 1 pick in the Draft like Cade Cunningham. The arrival of Green would make them serious contenders in the East.
