Per Vincent Ellis:

The Pistons will allow to pass the June 30th deadline to waive Anthony Tolliver and void $2.6M of his $3M salary.

This is good news, but also fairly predictable. Tolliver was a very capable backup-caliber player last season and he is signed at a reasonable rate. He is more likely to be a desirable asset that the Pistons can flip around the deadline to a contender than he is to get in the way of signing a better player.
