    Rasheed Wallace Cleared To Play

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Rasheed Wallace was cleared to play for the Detroit Pistons by the NBA on Saturday, one day after being pulled from a game because paperwork from a three-team trade had not been certified.

    The holdup was the result of issues with the paperwork for two of the players involved in the deal: Lindsey Hunter and Chris Mills.

    Pistons coach Larry Brown was informed shortly after Saturday's session that all problems were resolved and that Wallace and James would be available for Sunday's home game against Orlando.

    ``Everyone is good to go,'' Brown said. ``Rasheed is going to start, but I'm not sure where yet, and Mike will give us some depth off the bench. </div>

    I read that, this is great news for the Pistons. Some of us were worried yesterday when we learned about the paperwork problems. Now we get to relax and destroy the Magic, Tracy McGrady might even be suspended for what he did in the game yesterday. I hope that he is, so that we can give a lot of playing time to our special bench player. [​IMG]

    I see that Brown is having to decide whether to start Rasheed at SF or PF. It will be interesting to see what he decides, but either choice would work out well for the Pistons.

    That's good news, but I figured everything would be ok, so it isn't surprising.

    I didn't see that Magic game Pyro, what did McGrady do? The Pistons will completely destroy them if he isn't in the game. I love it! [​IMG]

    Well, he got his 10,000th career point. Then, game goes on and he drives to the basket. There is a bad call (Don't remember exactly what it was, just remember the results) so T-Mac decides to kick the ball. He is walking and he decides that one ball wasn't enough so he punts the ball away deep into the rows. [​IMG] He got ejected after that.
