Pistons President Joe Dumars recently told Terry Foster of the Detroit News that he would like to re-sign veteran forward Tayshaun Prince whose in the final year of his contract.
There is also still a chance that Prince is dealt before the Thursday 3PM ET deadline. All indications however point to Prince remaining with the team for the final 25 games of the season.
“I would,” Dumars said when asked if he would like Prince to return next season. “And we’ve talked about that. Tayshaun has been good here for a long time so I absolutely want to have that conversation at some point.”
Prince doesn’t think he’ll be traded
“It was brought up that if I could go to a team where I could win, my answer was yes,” Prince said. “But at the same time, if it did not pan out, of course I would want to finish the final 25 games. I’ve been through the good times and the bad times. I never once walked in there (to Dumars’ office) and said I’ve got to go. I’ve struck through the thick and thin.”
Prince has recently stated that he would welcome a trade to a contending team however Dumars has been limited on the trade front primarily due to the ownership situation. The interest in Prince seems to be limited as well.
