Looking for a backup to Tayshaun Prince (aka a small forward), the Pistons signed Maurice Evans to an offer sheet. Since he’s a restricted free agent, the Kings had 7 days to match the offer to keep him, or the Pistons will have a veteran backup to Tay. Wow, a forward on the bench. That’s [...]

Around the Bases, 8/25/05: White’s Season Over
This has been a terrible season for the Tigers. They’ve put together a decent team, but rarely get an opportunity to use all of their talent in one game. With Guillen out, and Pudge with a hip flexor that may have finally healed, the Tigers lost their only consistent player this season. Rondell White has [...]

Steroids in Hockey?
We’ve all heard about steroids. Some believe they are not used as widely because of stricter testing, and threats of suspensions.

Center Court, 8/22: Sprewell to Rockets?
Latrell Sprewell had reportedly narrowed his choices between Houston and Detroit, but seeing as the Pistons have agreed to terms with Dale Davis, unless they get to work trading, or releasing players, they don’t have the roster space, so it seems Spree will join Yao, T-Mac, and Houston’s other newest free agent pickup (below).
