Acker, who flew to Athens to see the city and living conditions before signing the deal with Olympiakos, knows his role with the Pistons this season would be limited. The Pistons gave newly signed guard Flip Murray jersey No. 6, which Acker wore last year. The Pistons made a qualifying offer to Acker that would pay him $664,000 for 2006-07, which Acker most likely would spend mostly in the development league. The Pistons would still retain rights to Acker should he sign with Olympiakos. Via The Detroit News

It really doesn’t matter. Acker, Murray, or Delfino aren’t going to get any playing time under Flip. If your name isn’t Billups, Hamilton, Wallace, Nazr, Prince, or McDyess, you’re going to ride the bench. That’s just what Flip & Co. do–play you to death during the season so you’re burned out for the playoffs.
haha we cant have a 6 player rotation.. how would everybody else get rests? lindsey and flip are both going to play a good amount mayb delfino but i dont want him too
