    He could probably get a kings ransom to go play in Europe.

    Albeit in the form of roubles.

    Lou Williams already occupies the "undersized chucker who can't guard anybody" role for them, though.

    AI could be out of luck.

    Something we know for sure: Detroit's team demeanor has clearly picked up since Iverson agreed to a mutual parting for the rest of the season with Pistons president Joe Dumars after telling the world that he'd rather retire than come off the bench.

    The Pistons have to know, though, that more changes are likely coming this offseason unless they can KO one of the East powers in the first round.

    "We know," veteran forward Antonio McDyess said. "We don't talk about [the future], but we definitely know.

    "We might joke around a time or two and say, 'Hey, I guess I won't be here next year.' That's just a joke, but we know that's a big question. Who is our next [veteran to go]?"

    But here's another question: What happens if the Pistons do spring an upset? There's still some faint hope for Detroit to get up to No. 6 and force a first-round showdown with an Orlando team everyone knows is dreading that matchup.
    One of the foremost Allen Iverson experts I know, having read last week's look at the limited free-agent market Iverson is likely looking at this summer, checked in to caution against the notion that A.I. might really retire at 34 if he can't find a palatable offer.

    His theory is that, with time between now and the start of free agency on July 1, Iverson will eventually come to grips with the realities of a limited market in a bad economy. He contends there's "virtually no chance" Iverson won't decide to play on.

    Which is only one man's opinion, of course, but one I consider an informed opinion for you to digest.

    In an attempt to keep this archive as complete as possible, here are a few updates:
    • Rip and Curry reportedly haven't been on speaking terms since Rip was moved to the bench.
    • Reports that Walter Sharpe missed numerous flights, practices and busses this year.
    • Reportedly, Sheed requested a buyout from the Pistons, but was refused his wish.

    More to come as additional details leak!
