So, Ronald Dupree and Sammy Mejia are battling, essentially, for the 12th or 13th spot.</p> </p> Dupree wants to remain with Detroit, but also wants a chance to be a rotation player; and that chance looks dim here. If the Pistons were to waive him, and he cleared waivers, he would bank his $826,000 salary and be free to sign with another team.</p> </p> He's not rooting for it, but that might be the best scenario for him. -- <font color="#000000">Detroit News</font></p></div></div>
