Carlos was sent packing.
He didn't fit in and wasn't wanted. This whole topic as been discussed before. The bottom line is that there are no European trained players on the Pistons. Yes he was born in Argentina but played extensively in Europe. It is the same style anyway. They don't fit in. That is the reality, regardless of what we may want to believe.
Whether he technically asked for the trade or was told to ask for a trade we will never know because we weren't privy to the conversations that took place.
That is why a player like AK-47 will never play for the Pistons under the current organizational setup. I wish I was wrong because there is a lot of excellent European trained talent in the NBA, but the facts as they now stand say that that is the reality. Wishing will not change it.
Have a nice day
