Pistons trade: Tayshaun Prince 'shocked' by trade to Grizzlies

Tayshaun Prince, who was convinced he wasn't being "left out of the loop" just weeks ago, admitted he was caught off guard by Wednesday's trade to the Memphis Grizzlies.

Pistons vs. Pacers final score: Detroit loses, 98-79, ruining sad Tayshaun fan's night even more so

Wednesday's trade that sent Tayshaun Prince and Austin Daye to the Grizzlies was greeted with surprised celebration among DBB readers -- enough so that the expected loss to the Pacers was a distant afterthought.

Then again, most of us didn't travel to Indianapolis, buy a ticket right next to the players' tunnel, and wear our lucky Kentucky Wildcats t-shirt under a Prince jersey only to be confused by Prince's absence during pregame warmups ... and then have our "shucks, guess I don't need this anymore" look on our face caught on camera as we take the jersey off upon learning of the trade.

Or at least, that's what I'm guessing happened here:

Most depressing GIF ever? It has my vote.

Prince's ex-teammates seemed to be just as distracted early in the game, missing their first eight shots (including a pair of free throws) before getting on the board. The Pacers led by as many as nine points in the first quarter and extended that lead to 18 in the second quarter. After holding serve in the third, the Pistons trailed by as many as 23 in the fourth, ultimately allowing the Pacers to cruise to a 98-79 victory.

To be fair, this was never supposed to be a win -- the Pacers have lost three times on their home court all year, while the Pistons were on the wrong end of a back-to-back, and that was before they dealt two rotation players hours before tipoff.

The good news is that Andre Drummond continued to do Drummond-y type things, scoring only four points but grabbing 14 rebounds and blocking three shots in just 24 minutes. For a teenager coming off an 18 and 18 performance (and a cold!), that's damn impressive. Young Andre shot just 2-10 from the free-throw line, which is bad even for him, but still, those eight points wouldn't have made a difference in this trainwreck.

By our unofficial count, he played roughly 12 and a half minutes with Greg Monroe, during which time the Pistons scored exactly as many points (21) as they gave up. In a game in which the Pistons trailed by double-digits for much of the way, that's a huge accomplishment.

As for the rest of the team, Rodney Stuckey returned to the starting lineup but felt the urge to attempt six three-pointers. He should stop doing that; he made one. He needed 16 attempts to finish with 14 points. Monroe led the way with 18 points, adding nine boards.

I'd continue, but, hell, wouldn't it be more fun to hang out in the trade StoryStream? Yes, it would be. See you there!

Grizzlies-Pistons trade: Tayshaun Prince, Austin Daye to Memphis finalized

The Memphis Grizzlies and Toronto Raptors have done their part, but there's some type of hang-up with the Grizzlies and Pistons:

Source just told me Detroit part of the deal has not yet been finalized. But Gay/Haddadi for Davis/Calderon portion is done.

Source: "it's going to happen" #Pistons

— Vincent Goodwill (@vgoodwill) January 31, 2013

Here's to hoping this is just a small formality -- stay tuned.

Tayshaun Prince trade: Austin Daye also going to Memphis in 3-team trade

The Pistons will reportedly part with both Tayshaun Prince and Austin Daye for Jose Calderon as part of a three-way trade that sends Rudy Gay to Toronto, according to ESPN's Marc Stein:

ESPN sources say Pistons poised to send both Tayshaun Prince and Austin Daye to Grizzlies to acquire Jose Calderon as part of Rudy Gay deal

— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) January 30, 2013

According to Vincent Goodwill, the players have been informed and have begun exchanging goodbyes with their teammates:

Prince and Austin Daye called into coach Frank's office, and the locker room is closed. Could go down shortly. #Pistons

— Vincent Goodwill (@vgoodwill) January 30, 2013

Prince and Daye are in the training room, with teammates going in to wish them well. Both are on the phone, 45 mins before gametime #Pistons

— Vincent Goodwill (@vgoodwill) January 30, 2013

Jose Calderon, 31, is an eight-year veteran currently averaging 11.1 points and 7.4 assists (1.7 turnovers) in 45 games with the Raptors.

Update: Calderon is making $10.56 million this year -- the final year of his contract. So as nice as it will be to see a true point guard on the court, this deal doesn't necessarily disrupt Detroit's plans of shoehorning Brandon Knight into the "point guard of the future" role.

Tayshaun Prince isn't ready to give up on Detroit, nor does he believe he'll be traded -- but that doesn't mean it won't happen.
