Rasheed Wallace detroit

Rasheed Wallace detroit, Rasheed Wallace could be back with the Pistons. One of the heroes of the 2004 title team and freshly retired from the Knicks, Wallace is talking with new Pistons coach Maurice Cheeks and Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars about a position on Cheeks’ staff.

Dumars confirmed the news after today’s news conference to introduce the team’s rookie class. Nothing is done yet, but it’s a good possibility,” he said. Considering Wallace was Cheeks' idea. Wallace, 38, played under Cheeks when both were with the Trail Blazers in the early 2000s.

The talks are centered with making sure Wallace understands the daily grind of working on an NBA bench.What you really do is lay out the amount of work it takes,” Dumars said. “You go through a typical day and typical week. It’s extremely important to do that. He’s been great about it.”

If it becomes official, Wallace would be expected to help groom young big men Andre Drummond and Greg Monroe.

“With young bigs like this, that type and personality and knowledge could be good for this,” Dumars said.
