Pistons looking to unload Dele



I submit to you that the trade to make is Anderson and Mercer for Stackhouse 
and Dele. I bet this is what Pitino has been talking to the Pistons about and 
they countered with Mercer for Stackhouse. They need perimeter shooting and 
at least, a backup point guard. Anderson would start over Lindsey Hunter...

Bucks not pursuing Mason, Dele

New York - The Milwaukee Bucks continue to search for an inside scorer 
to complement their perimeter attack, but it won't be Bison Dele or 
Anthony Mason.

Although both players have been linked to the Bucks through various 
rumors at the National Basketball Association Finals, team sources say 
moves will not be made for either.

It's no secret that the Detroit Pistons are trying to trade Dele, their 
underachieving center. But sources say the Bucks are not interested 
because of Dele's work habits and low production.

The Bucks have been interested in Mason since before the season began, 
when they apparently put the since-traded Tyrone Hill on the table as 
bait. But new Hornets coach Paul Silas apparently is not interested in 
moving his burly inside scorer.

Mason sat out all of last season with a torn biceps.

The Bucks have had a number of inquiries regarding Ray Allen, Glenn 
Robinson, Robert Traylor and Sam Cassell, general manager Bob Weinhauer 
said.

However, the Bucks are not interested in trading any of them, 
particularly Robinson and Allen, he said Tuesday.
