The Detroit Pistons and Toronto Raptors have reached an agreement:
The Pistons have aquired Hassan Whiteside, Hedo Turkoglu and Marco Bellinelli in exchange for Tayshaun Prince and Chris Wilcox.
The Pistons have aquired the services of yet another talented, defensive big man with alot of potential, whilst also adding a young talented SG. They are delighted to have gotten the experience and saavy of veteran Hedo Turkoglu, a fan favourite who has finals experience and will help fill the void left by the departure of Prince. The subtraction of Wilcox also opens up more minutes for prospects like Whiteside and Jerebko.
The Raptors are ecstatic to have aquired a defensive wing with championship experience to put next to Bosh and Oden. The Raptors are clearly in win-now mode and have put an emphasis on stifling defense. The addition of Wilcox also provides depth on a team that will need it if they are to venture deeply into the playoffs.
