The Detroit Pistons have been more active in the eight days of free agency than originally projected, with some smaller moves to shape their roster.
The biggest addition was getting Glenn Robinson III to bolster their corps at small forward. They also added a pair of wings in the draft, grabbing Khyri Thomas and Bruce Brown Jr. in the second round.
They effectively exchanged two promising young players in Dwight Buycks and Eric Moreland for veterans in Jose Calderon and Zaza Pachulia for a decent savings against the salary cap — and more importantly, staying below the luxury-tax line.
