In this week's episode of Inside The Cylinder, we discuss the Pistons recent "surge". They've won four of their last six games: is this a sign that the season may turnaround? Or is it more reflective on their quality of opponent?

We'll also discuss Reggie Jackson's impending return - he'll be re-evaluated in the next couple of days, and could get back on court as early as next week. How will this affect the Pistons line-ups? Who's minutes are going to decrease? And should Jackson come off the bench?

Lastly, we'll talk the upcoming trade season, that kicks off on December 15th, when 90% of the league will be eligible to be traded. What will the Pistons do? What should the Pistons do? Buy, sell or stand pat?

All that and more in this week's episode! And make sure to follow Inside The Cylinder on Twitter at @InsideTheCylndr!
