Detroit Pistons News:

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. The Pistons got down to the 15-man roster limit at Mondays deadline by waiving rookie Sammy Mejia, something of a surprise since they signed him to a partially guaranteed contract after his performance in the Las Vegas Summer League.

Mejia, a 2007 second-round draft choice out of DePaul, lost out in his battle for the final roster spot with veteran Ronald Dupree.

The waiving of Mejia means the Pistons will carry three rookies on the roster first-round picks Rodney Stuckey and Arron Afflalo and Senegalese center Cheikh Samb, a 2006 second-round choice who spent last season playing professionally in Spain.

Mejias chance to stick on the final roster took a hit in August when the Pistons spotted an opening to strengthen themselves at small forward after Washington decided not to exercise its option on four-year veteran Jarvis Hayes.

Hayes had a strong preseason, leading the team in scoring at 13.6 points a game and shooting 44 percent from behind the 3-point line. Hes first in line for minutes behind Tayshaun Prince at small forward the job Dupree had hoped to win when the Pistons traded Carlos Delfino to Toronto in June.

In addition to Hayes, the Pistons believe Afflalo is capable of backing up Prince, which made it a two-man fight for the last spot between Mejia and Dupree.

Dupree, 26, played for the Pistons in 2004-05 before being traded to Minnesota for a second-round draft pick that Detroit is due to collect for the 2008 draft. When the Timberwolves let him go following that season, he signed with the Pistons prior to the 2006-07 season. He played a total of 94 minutes in 19 games last season.

More Detroit Pistons News:

On January 15th, the 2004 NBA Champion Detroit Pistons will kick off the celebration of one of the most unique times in their team history the lightning bolt era with the first History Channel Hardwood Classics Night presented by Comcast Spotlight and Buscemis. The Pistons and the Syracuse Nationals (a.k.a. Philadelphia 76ers) will don throwback jerseys for their 7:30 p.m. game. At every Hardwood Classics Night, six home games in all, the Pistons will wear the lightning bolt throwback jerseys from the late 1970s and early 1980s. Each game will have a specific theme related to the era. Ironically, the lightning bolt era in Pistons history was known as much for the teams Re-Vitale-ized campaign under Head Coach Dick Vitale as it was for the teams abysmal (yes, abysmal) A national television audience probably won't see a lot of points scored today at The Palace when the Detroit Pistons face San Antonio. But they might be watching a preview of the NBA Finals. While other division leaders like Phoenix, Seattle and Miami play a more up-tempo and exciting brand of basketball, the Pistons and Spurs play defense like nobody else. And that could have them playing in June. "Obviously, it's going to be a defensive battle. I guess it's just whoever makes shots," Pistons forward Tayshaun Prince said. "Every game is a big game for us from this point on. I know everybody is looking at this as a potential Finals matchup." That possibility is sure to be addressed on ABC's telecast, but it's something Pistons interim head coach Gar Heard would rather not hear right now.
"We got a long way to go before we get to the championship round," Heard said. "First of all, we have to lock up our division and then take another step after that." The Spurs (50-15) have the highest winning percentage in the NBA (.769) and allow the fewest points per game (86.5). The Pistons, winners of 11 consecutive home games, rank second defensively, allowing 89.2 points per game.

"You're going to probably be looking at the same type of team," Heard said. "Both teams run basically the same offense. So it's going to be like looking into a mirror. It's just who wants it the most." As always, the key to beating San Antonio is containing Tim Duncan and forcing the Spurs to make their outside shots. Heard said rather than double-team Duncan, his team will defend him straight-up with Rasheed Wallace. "We're going to dig down, we're not going to double him unless we have to late in the game," Heard said. "They have good spacing in their offense, so we want to make sure we don't give them a lot of open looks." Spurs All-Star guard Manu Ginobili might return today after missing five games with a groin strain. When these teams played Dec. 3 in San Antonio, the Pistons whittled away a 21-point second-half lead but fell short 80-77. "It's a big game because we went down there earlier in the season and they got us," Wallace said. Heard said there was no word on when coach Larry Brown would return to the bench. The Pistons have won all three games since Brown underwent surgery Monday for a urinary problem related to the hip surgery in November. "We'll just take it day-by-day," Heard said. Backup center Elden Campbell has not played in six games since returning to the Pistons. Brown had indicated it would take several weeks for Campbell to get back into game condition after being used sparingly by New Jersey. "Whenever we get a chance to get him some minutes we're going to try to work him in," Heard said. "He's almost there. We just have to make sure we find the right matchups for him." Carlos Delfino didn't experience any problems with his knee the day after logging 16 minutes against Toronto, his first action in more than three months. "We have to get him back in game condition," Heard said. "No matter how much you run up and down the court in practice, it's a different feeling than what you get in a game. The game is much faster and the matchups are totally different."
