As for the Pistons, they are the top team in the Eastern Conference with a 41-13 record in 54 games.
They are in the middle of a four-game winning streak (and have won eight out of ten).
Following the Bulls, the Pistons will play their next game on Monday night when they host the San Antonio Spurs in Michigan.
Leonard Miller’s in a much, much better position though now being traded to a rebuilding-type team (Bulls).
As they continue to flip their roster, retool their depth he can get a legit shot.
