The Detroit Pistons have gained several new pieces through the NBA Draft as well as bringing aboard free-agent Kelly Olynyk, but have lost a contributing member of the squad.
According to reports, veteran guard Wayne Ellington is signing with the Los Angeles Lakers, with whom he played during the 2014-15 NBA season:
