Detroit — The Pistons have learned from the last couple of seasons that not having enough depth can be a death knell to their success. Reggie Jackson has been the starter and after a couple of seasons of injuries that derailed their seasons, the Pistons signed Derrick Rose to provide an upgrade as a backup.

They also added Tim Frazier to give an experienced, veteran presence as a third option in case there was some recurrence of injury with Jackson and Rose.

It happened.

Out went Jackson.
