"Pistons mascot wants a new team as well": Social media reacts after reports of Killian Hayes wants out of Detroit Pistons before transfer deadline

Trade Deadline: Young point guard Killian Hayes has reportedly demanded to be trade from Detroit Pistons before the end of the transfer window.

The mid-season transfer window is coming to a close on Thursday as teams are now preparing for one final push to strengthen the squads for the remainder of the season.

As per the latest rumors, Hayes’ camp has informed the Pistons management that the player would want to be traded before the transfer deadline.

The report shocked the fans on social media platform X — previously known as Twitter —who posted some interesting comments about the development. One user on the platform went on to write that may be Pistons mascot demanded to be transferred as well.

The news is a surprising one because the 22-year-old has not set the world alight while playing for the Pistons this season. He is averaging just 6.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game which is no way near good enough considering the quality on display in the NBA.

He has not managed to register more than 10 points in a single game since December 9th when he netted 16 points to go with seven rebounds and four assists against the Orlando Magic. Hayes’ best outing this season came in the match against the New York Knick where he registered 23 points to go with three rebounds and four assists.
