Detroit looking to ship Rip and Tayshaun

Tayshaun Prince is reportedly a Piston that could be moved, and Rip Hamilton may join him. Prince's name remains on the radar, mostly because of his expiring contract and the fact that the Pistons are loaded with small forward types ... if they are going to turn the page and start over, that's one spot they'd probably want to clear out for a youngster. ... [Said one scout:] "Detroit has to do something. ... They're not going anywhere with the group they have. They know it and everyone else knows it. So Tayshaun or Rip, one or both of them have to be in play if they're going to start the rebuilding process properly." (NBA.com)Comment

Stan Kroenke owns the Rams, as well as Denver's basketball and hockey teams. He will have to sell his Denver interests unless he becomes owner of the Broncos. Broncos owner Pat Bowlen is having health issues. Someone has suggested it makes sense for Kroenke to exchange franchises with Bowlen, taking ownership of the Broncos and allowing Bowlen to move the Rams to L.A. (L.A. Times)Comment
