Rob Parker of The Detroit News Reports:
My moles are telling me that the Pistons never had an opportunity to do a sign-and-trade with Ben Wallace.
As good as it sounds, the rumors out of Chicago are wrong. The Pistons didn’t have any deals on the table with the Knicks or 76ers.The talk was they did, but Wallace, the free-agent center, KO’d any chance for a deal, insisting on taking the four-year, $60-million deal from the Bulls.If that was the case, it certainly would have looked as if Wallace had an ax to grind with the Pistons. For sure, the Pistons would have been interested in making a deal. After all, no team wants to lose a star and get nothing in return.But, why would Wallace nix a deal that potentially could have gotten him even more money? A sign-and-trade deal is usually good for all parties involved.
Pistons have set their sights on free-agent shooting guard Ronald “Flip” Murray. Murray, 26, averaged 11.2 points in 76 games with the Sonics and Cavaliers. Many in Cleveland liked the way Murray filled in for Larry Hughes when he was injured. Murray can create his own shot and hit key outside jumpers. Via The Detroit News
I now He cant make anything dis flip guy is bad WE should Get Bonzi Wells
SHUMEL AHMED
espn says the pistons are ranked 5 in east wtf we should be atleast 3 and worst but 5 come on people who think this is a loud of crap talk to me
from: sheed rules
5?? Who the hell would be ahead of Detroit… I mean, obviously they’ll rank Miami 1st, and I’m sure the media would jump all over Chicago and put ther at #2. But who would then be in front of Detroit… Indiana? Orlando? Milwaukee? Those teams are getting better but they were all still around .500 last season… and the last 3 years they’ve always had Detroit ranked below Indy, and Detroit has always went against odds.
Good though, let them underrate the Pistons again, just win another championship.
THEN HEAT CAVS BULLS NETS AND PISTONS THATS WHAT ESPN RANKED THE EAST
FROM:SHEED RULES
somewhere david stern is having a wet dream
ben just didnt want to make it seem like he got traded thats all, he’s an ego maniac

Yes, we will miss Ben Wallace, but he’s gone now It’s nothing we could do by July 12th unless Joe Dumars gave him 61 million dollars for four years! But we can’t afford It! But that really showed me that money really talks!
