Alonzo Gee interests Pistons

John Telich of Fox 8 Cleveland:

"Heard of at least three teams interested in Alonzo Gee of #Cavs Phoenix, Minnesota, and Detroit. He is a RFA in 2012"

You might remember Gee from such posts as “Pistons can’t keep Alonzo Gee off the offensive glass in loss to Cleveland.” He’s a nice young player, and although small forward isn’t the Pistons’ greatest need, he’d be a fine addition at the right price.

Brendan Bowers of Stepien Rules:

"Heard Phoenix Suns are looking to offer RFA Alonzo Gee a multi-year deal in $4 million per season range & are in lead for his services #Cavs"

That should be more than the Pistons are willing to spend for Gee when they have more pressing big-man needs. “Interested in” is a low bar, and Detroit is probably interested in hundreds of players. I like Gee, but if I were the Pistons, I wouldn’t best that offer.
