I am looking forward to our continued success and the opportunity to bring another championship to the Detroit Pistons.

We have always respected the Heat and we know they are a very good team.

He's looking good and playing well. It was just a chance to get to see him play before training camp starts.

I really like the fact that Maurice is young, athletic and very competitive when he's on the floor. We feel that he will fit right in with the rest of our guys, on and off the court. And getting the right fit is very important to us.

We have not agreed to anything with Larry and there is no buyout yet. Both sides are still talking.

We look forward to seeing his continued growth as a player. Darko was able to play a lot of minutes during summer league this July, and we are happy that he is on Serbia-Montenegro's roster during the European Championships this September.
