Flip Saunders Fired As Pistons Coach: Lineup Changes Coming


Flip Saunders is already out of Detroit. Will Rasheed Wallace Be Next

After Joe Dumars Fired Flip Saunders, he then publicly told his players they were all available to be traded.

Dumars publicly put his entire lineup on the trading block, less than a week after the Pistons lost in the Eastern Conference finals for the third straight year.

Among those available: four players who have been together since winning the 2004 NBA title together, plus another starter who just finished his fourth season with the team.

Flip Saunders signed a four-year contract worth up to $26 million three years ago. His deal came less than a day after Detroit finalized terms of Larry Brown's $7 million severance package after he helped the Pistons win a title and almost repeat in his two seasons.

Probably the most intriguing scenario wil be if Rasheed Wallace gets traded. Will the new coach adopt a whole different style of play? Who will stay and who will go? There's a lot of questions for the Pistons right now.
