The Delon Wright trade was more about the future than the present for Troy Weaver and the Detroit Pistons.
Not only did the Pistons get another draft pick but they cleared an extra six million in cap space for next season, which they could use to make future moves.
The Pistons are now in a better position to make offers on free agents or to get involved in trades, possibly taking on some salary in exchange for an asset.
They are also in a better position to re-sign any of their own restricted free agents, specifically Hamidou Diallo, who would slot nicely into the cap they created with the trade.
