10:14 AM ET 11.04 | The decision last night in Detroit to sit Tayshaun Prince who by all accounts could have played according to sources, was labeled a precautionary move related to a lower back strain according to the team. That did not stop the arena from buzzing about the possibility of a trade involving Prince and forward Jason Maxiell. Pistons' president Joe Dumars has made no secret of the fact he'd be open to moving off one of his larger contracts if it could get him in the 2010 free agent class in a big enough way, and there is a belief that of the two monster contracts Detroit has in Richard Hamilton ($11.6 million) and Tayshaun Prince ($10.3 million) that Prince is the easiest of the two to move. Dumars quickly shut down the notion of a trade saying the decision was about injuries, and that he had enough new faces.
