The Detroit Pistons are another team interested in acquiring Eric Bledsoe from Phoenix, but apparently they would want a third team involved in the mix for a potential deal.
The New York Times’ Marc Stein reported on Thursday that the Pistons are in the mix for Bledsoe, who is seeking a trade. He says that a package Detroit could offer would include Reggie Jackson.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski adds that the Suns would prefer a third team to take Jackson in a trade involving Bledsoe.

The Suns have been looking into trading Bledsoe, who said he wanted out the same day head coach Earl Watson was fired after three games. The guard reportedly had also asked for a trade before the season began.
The Suns might not want Jackson because he is due just over $35 million the next seasons, and they could want to see what Mike James and Tyler Ulis can offer instead.
