The Pistons and Sacramento Kings wiped the slate clean Monday, essentially allowing the Pistons to keep their first-round draft pick this season.

The transaction will read this way: The Pistons conveyed their pick, No. 25 overall, to the Kings to fulfill a past obligation (a pick owed to Philadelphia from the Jerry Stackhouse trade, which the Kings later acquired).

The Kings, then, traded that pick back to the Pistons to fulfill their debt of a first-round pick, which they sent to the Pistons along with Jon Barry in the Mateen Cleaves trade two years ago.

So, bottom line, both teams no longer have trade obligations to each other and the Pistons will, at least for now, have two first round picks in the June 26 draft -- No. 2 from Memphis and No. 25.
