Signing Jerami Grant last offseason is shaping up to be one of the best offseason acquisitions, but overall, everybody knows the Pistons are tanking this year! I mean c’mon, Jerami Grant, Mason Plumlee, Wayne Ellington and other “older” guys are resting basically every other game for them! 

Overall, this season was going to end up with the Pistons missing the playoffs whether or not everybody played every single game, but this team is definitely not in a bad position.
