Detroit Pistons: Trading Josh Jackson to the Celtics makes sense

The Detroit Pistons have a number of options at the trade deadline, including unloading some of their veteran talent for draft picks or prospects.

Wayne Ellington has long been rumored to be headed out at the deadline, which makes sense, as he is on the final year of his contract, isn’t part of the long-term plans and could net an asset in the form of a second-round pick or maybe even a project player.

Another guy who could be moved is Josh Jackson, who might have become redundant after the Pistons traded for Hamidou Diallo, who is younger and does a lot of the same things.
