Prince Assured Pistons Won't Include Him In Trade Discussion

Kaman is looking like a stiff of late with home fans booing their displeasure.

He can be a nice complement for Griffin and Prince but is a liabililty on offense with a feeble low post game. Opponents will lay off him and Griffin daring them both to shoot outside from six to ten feet. The latter can at least manufacture some points with his athletic ability but that's not to say the former can't improve.

He doesn't need a low post game tho, he just needs to play defense and get out of Griffin's way and do put backs if needed

DeAndre Jordan is terrrrrrrrrible, he had that 1 good game against Bynum and put up a few double doubles last year when he started but ehhhh im not too impressed, saw him live 6 times, he's turrrrrrrrrrrrrible

Prince is DONE. Kaman is a legit 18pts 8 reb 1blk guy. Not the greatest center, but solid.
If anything the Clippers should ship out Baron Davis and his out of shape butt.

C'mon, say clippler out loud and try not to laugh. I wasn't saying it to be mean, I thought it just sounded hilarious.

And I agree with you.

People want to build around DeAndre Jordan? Are you kidding me? The kid is nice and all, but he's not very good. He's a decent defender, he's quite athletic, but his offense is awful and he's just not very smart. He's like a young DJ Mbenga. Anyone want to build around DJ? I didn't really think so...

Before you "LOL" maybe you should know what your talking about before you type ish.

Last year Kaman averaged 18.5 pts 9.3 reb 1.2blks How is that outdated???? they've only played a couple games this year, you can't count this years averages. Put the weed down son.

Hawks Interested In Tayshaun Prince?



Sekou Smith of NBA.com wrote Monday of a trade rumor that would send Pistons forward Tayshaun Prince to the Hawks.

Smith wrote of a deal that would send Prince and perhaps another player, such as Will Bynum, to Atlanta in exchange for Jamal Crawford and Jeff Teague.

A league scout told Smith that the Pistons have to do something in regards to their roster.

"Detroit has to do something," the scout said. "They're not going anywhere with the group they have. They know it and everyone else knows it. So Tayshaun or Rip, one or both of them have to be in play if they're going to start the rebuilding process properly."

Tayshaun Prince To Hawks Rumor Shot Down



A rumor reported on NBA.com about the Pistons trading Tayshaun Prince to the Atlanta Hawks is not true, a Pistons source said Monday. The report suggested that Prince and Will Bynum might be traded for former Michigan player Jamal Crawford and Jeff Teague.

Pistons Want To Re-Sign Tayshaun Prince



Terry Foster / The Detroit News

Auburn Hills — Pistons president Joe Dumars said Tuesday he wants to begin talks to sign Tayshaun Prince to a new contract once the season is done. That is if Prince isn't dealt before Thursday's 3 p.m. trade deadline — and all indications point to Prince remaining a Piston for the final 25 games of the season.

Prince, 30, has said he wants to remain a Piston but would not be opposed to being traded to an NBA title contender. But Dumars hopes Prince remains with the Pistons and said he will trade him only if presented with an unbelievable deal.

Prince is in the final year of his contract; his salary this season is $11.1 million.

"I would," Dumars said when asked if he would like Prince to return next season. "And we've talked about that. Tayshaun has been good here for a long time so I absolutely want to have that conversation at some point."

Prince doesn't think he'll be traded

"It was brought up that if I could go to a team where I could win, my answer was yes," Prince said. "But at the same time, if it did not pan out, of course I would want to finish the final 25 games. I've been through the good times and the bad times. I never once walked in there (to Dumars' office) and said I've got to go. I've struck through the thick and thin."

Dumars said he has been given permission to make trades, despite the possible sale of the team soon. But it is believed he cannot make a trade for a player with a long-term contract or a high salary. He is allowed to trade for draft picks and expiring contracts.

"There are some parameters for us to make a deal," Dumars said. "Yes, I can make a deal, but it has to fit within the parameters."

Dumars said he has had trade talks with many teams over the past few weeks, but added, "Now we don't have a deal to pull the trigger on."

Dumars said he doesn't know if the team will trade Richard Hamilton. He refused comment about the strained relationship between Hamilton and coach John Kuester.

"As I've said before, I will deal with that stuff privately," Dumars said.

Tayshaun Prince Assured Pistons Won't Include Him In Trade Discussions



Tayshaun Prince has been assured the Detroit Pistons won’t field trade offers for him, and the two sides have “never” discussed dealing Prince, agent Bill Duffy told RealGM in an extended feature profile.

“I know there are a lot of contending teams that I can help,” Prince told RealGM. “But right now, this is the team I have to help. Everybody wants to be in the position where they have a chance of winning a championship every year, but obviously it doesn’t work that way.”
