Before the Pistons’ 127-119 win against the Chicago Bulls, Bickerstaff addressed the trade during his pregame media availability, per ClutchPoints’ Eric Vincent. “I was surprised. But it’s the league and that’s what I think makes the league so amazing is like you don’t know what’s gonna happen. And each organization has its own play, but each organization is chasing the same thing,” Bickerstaff said. “You got 30 teams going at it in different ways. And that’s what makes it so fun.”
