Pistons needed to clear some room in the frontcourt. They were very top heavy with Wallace/Campbell/Darko/Rebraca/Okur/Williamson/Uncle Cliff.
They also needed a player to take over Jon Barry's role from last year. Sura is in the last year of his contract and is rather overpaid so the Pistons will clear cap space and be able to re-sign the core of Milicic/Prince/Okur when their contracts come up. Sura is a decent player and should fill their need ideally. They don't want to be in the same situation as the Pacers were when they had to trade Brad Miller due to salary cap issues.
Uncle Cliff is a great player and has been awesome for the Pistons over the last few years. It's sad that he couldn't play out his career in Detriot but it is definitely a good move for the Pistons long-term. I think they'll miss him a little next year but looking much further than that it's hard to see.
