Are the Pistons on the verge of trading Richard Hamilton?
By Dan Feldman - 10:45 pm | October 27th, 2009First, Deron Washington’s release raised a few eyebrows. A very logical explanation for cutting a player who you have room for and have to pay regardless: you want the extra roster spot for a 2-for-1 or 3-for-2 trade.
Now, as pointed about Steve Kays on Twitter (@NBAKays), Richard Hamilton missed today’s practice for personal reasons, according to A. Sherrod Blakely of MLive. Hamilton isn’t hurt.
Pistons coach John Kuester said Hamilton will be in Memphis for tomorrow’s game. Neither Blakely nor Dave Pemberton of The Oakland Press specify if that means Hamilton will play. Kuester’s way of misleading without lying, perhaps?
We should know a lot more tomorrow. But Joe Dumars has shown he’s not shy about making late-summer or even early-fall trades.

pistons need to trade rip and tay while they are still valuable. they got replacements for both of them in bg and daye. ship them both for some picks and maybe amire stodamire and use the cap space to sign him or bosh or dirk this offseason. seriously, we have bg who should start with his contract and capacity. we have daye who can play and needs some time to learn. i hope we can trade one or both of those guys before this offseason, so we can go out and get some other guys. we are too guard heavy already with stuckey and bynum and bg who needs rip.
[...] Hamilton missed Tuesday’s practice for personal reasons, and that might mean a trade is coming. Tayshaun Prince and Kwame Brown are nursing injuries, but both are expected to play. Rookies Jonas [...]

PEACE4ALL, you realized if that happened they would almost be the worst team in the nba? sure austin daye is good but hes no tayshaun? youve got to be kidding me! they have a solid team right now so why would you mess with the rotation?ben gordon comin in for rip is just as good if not better! Austin Daye hasnt proved him self at all in the NBA why would u gamble that
