Another iconic player for younger Pistons’ fans,  Prince was a key member of the 2004 championship team. He also holds arguably the greatest play in franchise history with the unfathomable block from behind against Reggie Miller in game two of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Much like Hamilton, Prince’s tenure with the Pistons ended rather badly. It was such a bad ending that he didn’t seem to want to come back to Detroit.

I don’t blame Prince for how he feels about the organization. The way the Pistons went about his trade to Memphis in 2013 was classless considering what Prince had done for the organization.

Hopefully the two sides can make amends in the future.
