I'm referring to at the deadline. He was already signed. It would just be a trade. And there is zero evidence that Dumars hands were tied from removing salary from the team which is what trading TMac for a future late pick would have meant. But yeah, obviously a S&T at this point makes no sense for a guy who'll be paid less than the MLE. It wouldn’t have been a sign and trade. I’m referring to at the deadline. He was already signed.

It's a shame cause we never really got a chance to have a good look at Terrico. He would of been behind Stuckey, Knight and Bynum at PG so it makes sense. I know it is hindsight but we could of had Landry Fields (pick 39 - Knicks) or even Jerome Jordan (pick 44 - Bucks) instead of a guy we are now cutting.

BTW, Terrico White has been released, announcing it on his twitter. Could Joe be clearing space prepping to make a move? Haha, good one.

There's no real danger of losing either guy since the Pistons have a right to match any offer they get.</p> I would think since they are restricted free agents, Dumars would wait and see what their market is.

Would that mean we are freed up of all his bad roster moves since 2004?   *Jokes…just jokes* Off topic here but someone at mlive just came up with a pretty funny way to use the amnesty clause…use it on Dumars.
