Traded for Elden Campbell and a future first round pick. Utah is supposed to be waving Elden and he may be picked up by the pistons again if nobody else signs him.

If they sign Campbell back they will be a force in the East.
I wonder how would this trade affect Lindsay's minutes. Hunter has been playing a lot of shooting guard lately, but they have two guys who play there plus Billups who could fill some time at the 2 spot. I think Hunter will get court minutes from Larry Brown for his defence alone. One of the main reasons Dumars made this deal I'd assume is to give Darko some serious playing time after trading Campbell and waiving Coleman couple of weeks ago. Good trade Joe.
This is an awesome trade for Detroit, I really can't see how Utah let this one go, other than Arroyo not getting along with Slone. He is really going to help them out, backing up Billups. The only question is how is Hunter going to get his rightfully earned minutes?

Now with Arroyo and Delfino coming back they wont be overplaying anybody. Lindsey is getting older too and we need to keep him as fresh as possible for and in the playoffs.
