Pistons sign Kwame Brown to Two Year Deal

New signing...Check it out


Agent: Grizzlies forward Brown agrees to two-year deal with Pistons

Updated: July 28, 2008, 6:38 PM ET

Kwame Brown is headed back to the Eastern Conference.

Quote:
Brown's agent, Mark Bartlestein, told ESPN.com on Monday night that the former No. 1 pick in the 2001 draft has reached a verbal agreement on a new contract with the Detroit Pistons.

The contract is believed to be a two-year deal worth $8 million, with Brown -- who spent his first four seasons as a pro in Washington after being drafted by then-Wizards president Michael Jordan -- holding a player option to return to free agency after this season.

Brown earned nearly $9.1 million last season in the final year of his previous three-year deal, which the 26-year-old received in the summer of 2005 in a sign-and-trade from Washington to the Los Angeles Lakers. Brown's expiring salary was the chief chip that the Lakers used to convince the Memphis Grizzlies to send Pau Gasol to L.A. on Feb. 1 in a trade that earned the Grizzlies widespread criticism.

Brown played in only 15 games with the Grizzlies after the trade, averaging just 3.5 points and 3.8 rebounds in under 14 minutes per game.

Detroit City:

Wallace x 2 ---> Flip x 2 ---> Kwame x 2


Someone go grab Jesse so he can cut my nuts off. the guess the Artest and Josh Smith crap was just a smokescreen so we could land the real goods!

Re: Pistons sign Kwame Brown to Two Year Deal

In a slant of the words of Obi-Wan..."this was not the deal I was looking for"

Nevertheless, it seems like an indicator that other things are brewing

Re: Pistons sign Kwame Brown to Two Year Deal

I thought it was a joke at 1st. What happened to not spending the MLE on 1 player? Especially this one.

Re: Pistons sign Kwame Brown to Two Year Deal

Gotta believe another deal is in the making. Talking about Joe D dropping it like it is hot.

This deal just came out of nowhere, no speculations, just quietly done.

Kwame?? I don't know about him, never really lived up to his draft status, a seriously big body that can clog up the middle, I guess we will see what he will bring to the pistons.

Re: Pistons sign Kwame Brown to Two Year Deal

Kwame is a very good post defender and he can rebound. That's worth 4 million a year easy for a center. Good, solid signing. Could mean we're looking to move a big (Sheed?).

This isn't the whole MLE, btw. We still have nearly 2 million on that and the LLE if we want to search out some other bargains.
