Detroit Pistons: Pros and cons of trading Josh Jackson this offseason

The Detroit Pistons will have a number of personnel decisions to make this offseason, including what to do with Josh Jackson.

Jackson will be entering the final year of a team-friendly contract that will pay him just over $5 million, so there is a solid argument for keeping him as a low-cost contributor.

But there is also an argument that he is more valuable to the Pistons as a trade asset, as they are still a rebuilding team and need draft capital more than they need one more year of Jackson, who could flee for greener pastures at the end of next season after rebuilding his value in Detroit.
