Pistions Create Salary Slot for Baby

What kind of frontcourt player can $3.5 million buy in a picked-over free agent market? The Pistons are about to find out. They created that much spending room Monday by trading Arron Afflalo and Walter Sharpe to the Denver Nuggets in exchange for a future second-round draft pick. That move shaved $1.8 million off the payroll and they had $1.7 million left after signing free agents Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva. Brandon Bass and Glen Davis had been their primary targets. Bass signed with Orlando and Davis is a restricted free agent. The Boston Celtics made it clear they planned to match any offer under $5.6 million.

All of these Tayshaun Prince rumors kind of makes a guy wonder about a Prince for Baby deal, no?
