Unless Jorge Gutierrez 10 day contract is up and they officially bought out Larry Sanders and made another cut Bucks have too many players on their roster (Kenyon Martin gone maybe?)

Here are five quick points in analyzing the trade:
<big>1. Three-point limit</big>
The Pistons didn't want to go into next season with four point guards on the roster, are concerned with how Brandon Jennings bounces back from injury, and knew they might have to get a new point guard of the future anyway (Jennings is under contract only one more season). By trading Augustin and acquiring Jackson, they addressed two of those three problems. The Pistons can play out this year with Jackson, John Lucas III and Spencer Dinwiddie at point guard. Next year, Jennings and Dinwiddie are the only ones under contract now. Jackson is a restricted free agent, and while he and agent Jeff Schwartz are expected to seek something close to a maximum contract, the Pistons can match any external offer. This wasn't a short-term trade. It was a trade made with an eye toward keeping Jackson for the long haul. With Jennings healthy, Jackson also could play off-guard in three-guard lineups.

<big style="color: rgb(54, 54, 54); font-family: Georgia, serif; line-height: 24px;">2. Give something to get something</big> The Pistons gave up four players and the one they didn't want to lose was Singler. They liked the idea of having Singler as a budget backup small forward in the $4-5 million range. As a player making about $1 million his first three seasons, Singler has been one of the best value starters in the NBA. At several times his current salary, and ideally in a backup role as the Pistons move to shore up their roster, Singler didn't have quite the same appeal. He was the piece the Pistons didn't want to give away. They had to do it to make the trade work.<big>3. Figuring what Boston gained</big>
The Celtics took on two expiring contracts, Datome's and Jerebko's, for Prince's expiring contract. Boston cut a few hundred thousand dollars in pro-rated salary but didn't save much financially. The motive for Boston could be that it hopes to re-sign Datome and/or Jerebko beyond this season. The Celtics were one of the suitors interested in Datome when he made the jump from Italy to the NBA before the 2013-14 season. Jerebko offers a stretch-four option the Celtics don't have. The Celtics are one of the worst 3-point-shooting teams in the league and were seeking options to address the problem.
<big>4. Who starts at small forward?</big>
Dealing Augustin and receiving Jackson in return gave the Pistons a starting point guard for the one they traded away. But in dealing Singler, and getting Prince in return, the Pistons created some question about who starts at small forward, the 34-year-old Prince or the 34-year-old Caron Butler, both of whom could be reduced to their final 28 games as NBA players? Do the Pistons go even more with a three-guard lineup down the stretch? One thing is certain: The Pistons already planned to look for a new small forward this summer; now, they have to retool the position entirely.
<big>5. The contractual ramifications</big>
The bottom line is the Pistons took in a 24-year-old point guard, Jackson, who could alter their approach next summer and beyond. Jackson is expected to seek a close-to-maximum contract as a restricted free agent this summer. If he gets it, the Pistons will have a decision to make. They will have cap space to sign both Greg Monroe and a second player to maximum contracts. If that second player is an external free agent, then the Pistons theoretically could splurge on three players next season, as long as one of their own free agents, either Jackson or Monroe, is the last one signed.
