Wooooo! Yeeaaah!
Aren't these trades a bit unnecessary now? Our team is getting healthy and we have Gordon, Ricky, and Freddy handling SG now. Mardy and Taylor should be back soon to backup Baron. We still have Hart too..
So I'll just say ack to Acker.

It's one of those deals where you're probably getting a second rounder and/or cash along with it. Detroit needed to give Acker to somebody to get under the Luxury tax, so they can get a piece of the tax payout.

Does this mean that Samb was waived? We already had 15 players on the roster.

Yeah we would have had to waved some one, unless we just wave Acker right when we get him.

The Pistons have three second-round picks in this year's draft. One of those will most likely be sent to the Clippers.
detnews.comThis would somewhat make up for the pick that we gave up to Portland for Taylor.

Seems like a trade was made just to make one.
