Couple things:

  • Wing depth has been a consistent weakness of the Pistons, and things done to address that weakness are on the whole, pretty good.
  • Pistons are playoffs-or-bust right - it’s highly unlikely the Pistons can retain Ennis, who will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season. Even if Ennis comes cheap, the Pistons have VERY little money to bring him back.
