97.1 The Ticket is reporting that The Pistons have Drew Gooden in their sights. Whether they pick up Gooden or the other big men they are looking at it’s just something we are going to have to wait on.

A. Sherrod Blakely of MLive

“Detroit is giving strong consideration to a handful of frontcourt players, including Glen Davis, Drew Gooden, Rasha Nesterovic, former Piston Ben Wallace and Chris Wilcox.”

We have audio with Joe Dumars from Matt Dery of 97.1 The Ticket. Diesel asks the burning question…

Head over to 97.1 The Ticket and listen to the embedded audio under top headlines.

Thanks to Matt for always keep us up to speed.

Starting next season the Detroit Pistons radio broadcasts will be on 97.1 FM The Ticket.  It’s nice to have the Pistons games on a stronger FM signal.  I just hope (and pray) my good friend Matt Dery and the #1 engineer in the NBA Albert Dale go with them!  I can’t go to a game without a little Dery and Dale pre and post game, it just wouldn’t be the same.
