Splitting Up (?)

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – Chauncey Billups wants to be back. So does Antonio McDyess. Ditto for Flip Murray. And maybe even for Dale Davis.
The Pistons cleaned out their lockers on Monday – well, all but Rip Hamilton and Chris Webber, who didn’t show for the usual day-after meeting, which is informal and not mandatory – but won’t so easily leave another near-miss season behind them after the upstart Cleveland Cavaliers advance to the NBA Finals by overcoming a 2-0 deficit to sweep four straight games. Here are the list of some Pistons' players option for next season.

1.Chauncey Billups-can opt out of the final year of his contract.

2.Antonio Mcdyess-Antonio McDyess, like Billups, can opt out of the final year of his contract. Chances are McDyess will return to the Pistons

3.Flip Murray-Murray, who signed a two-year contract last summer with a player option for the second year, said he is intent on returning to the Pistons next season despite falling out of the rotation in January.

4.Dale Davis-Davis, a 16-year veteran who signed with the Pistons two summers ago, had indicated he would seriously ponder retirement, but Monday said he would “probably, more than likely, definitely play. I still feel like I can help contribute to this game and help a team win. I’m still short of that goal of winning a championship, as well. I look to be back in action.”

5.Sheed-Rumors that he might be an KNICKS next year.

*There isn't any talk about what would and could happen to the other Pistons' players yet, but Reporters say that Flip Saunders will be back next season.

Season Over For The Pistons

I haven't have much time to post lately, so here is part of an article from Ryan Pretzer, title, Over and Out.

The Cavs beat the Pistons for the fourth straight game Saturday night, 98-82, becoming the third team ever – and the first since the 1993 Chicago Bulls – to win the conference finals after falling in an 0-2 hole.

The Pistons played well enough to keep it close for three quarters before being outscored 31-16 in the final 12 minutes. The Pistons' season was undone not by LeBron James but rookie Daniel Gibson, who had his own statement game Saturday.

San Antonio Spurs vs. Detroit Pistons

Everybody knows now that the Cleveland Cavaliers are in the lead in the Eastern Conference with 3-2. But for all the believers out there. It is not over until the fat lady sings, and let me just tell you she haven't yet. The Detroit Pistons will make it to the 2007 NBA Conference to play and win agianst the San Antonio Spurs(Pistons fans you just have to believe).
