The Pistons traded guard Alex Acker to the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday night. The two teams will swap future second-round draft picks.

The Pistons have three second-round picks in this year's draft. One of those will most likely be sent to the Clippers.

Another worthless trade, but I thought we were over the 15-man roster limit?

The Clippers have agreed to a trade for Detroit guard Alex Acker, a former Pepperdine star.

The deal will be formally announced Monday afternoon. In order to make room for Acker on their roster, the Clippers are expected to waive reserve center Cheikh Samb, who was acquired in a trade with Denver last month.

This is yet another creative deal for the Clippers, who will receive cash considerations from the Pistons that essentially pay for Acker's salary, and a future second round pick.

Peace out Samb.

So do we give up a second or no? Seems like Ramona is saying we receive a 2nd with the cash?

i see no point to this unless Mike is getting ready for a big trade
