Why The Detroit Pistons Do The Deal
This deal is about the future for Detroit. At the same time, it could make them better next season.
After all, Kleber is a solid veteran. This is a combo big that spaces the floor. Kleber could line up next to Wiseman in big lineups, or man the 5 alongside Bojan Bogdanovic.
Still, they’re more interested in the draft capital they’re receiving here. If the Pistons are big believers in Wiseman, they could give him the starting center position moving forward.
