The Detroit Pistons could pull off a blockbuster deal with the Dallas Mavericks to land a franchise-altering center.

On Monday night, Cunningham had to exit the game against the Washington Wizards prematurely after he suffered a hard fall that caused him to land squarely on his tailbone, as reported by ClutchPoints NBA insider Brett Siegel. He had to be helped off the court, causing much concern for the East-leading Pistons.

By all indications, Cunningham has taken the proverbial leap into superstardom and maintains that his belief in himself never wavered, even through the difficult seasons, while also crediting the city of Detroit and the Pistons franchise for not losing faith.

If Cunningham and the Pistons continue to develop at this rate, former NBA star and content creator Gilbert Arenas believes that Detroit could be a legitimate contender in the coming years.
