    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">If the NBA's 2002 draft was re-staged today, it's not a major stretch to suggest that a slender, long-limbed lefty named Tayshaun Prince would be a top-three overall pick instead of No. 23.

    At the very least, Prince is now the third-richest player to emerge from the first round of that draft.

    That was confirmed Sunday evening, when the Detroit Pistons and their perimeter defensive ace reached an agreement in principle on a five-year contract extension believed to be worth at least $47 million. </div>

    Wow, I think that 47 million for 5 years is a bit too much, but there's no doubt that Prince deserved a big contract. He's one of the best defenders in the league, and when needed, can provide solid offense.
