The Detroit Pistons need to get better quickly if they are going to meet both internal and external expectation. The question is, how do you do that with poorly positioned draft capital and limited cap space?
When that’s the position your in, the only way to get better is to make smart decisions, both in the draft and in the trade market, with the latter being of the most importance.
In most trade scenarios, you have to give up quality assets to get quality assets, that is, unless your the Sacramento Kings.
Though Stan Van Gundy has been able to capitalize on teams looking to create cap space, those days are largely gone.
