Ok, well, the Pistons are apparently so set on saving money by trading away Rip for Troy Murphy's expiring that they are not even playing him. Now, I don't think Rip is the best option for this Mavs team...but he may come at the lowest price.
Pistons are willing to take back Troy Murphy & Johan Petro, plus a future 2nd rounder, for Rip. Mavs should just offer Caron's expiring straight-up. Way better deal for Detroit, as he's cheaper than Murphy and they don't have to eat a bad deal in return. In fact I'd argue the Mavs could ask for a draft pick in such a deal. No, he's not the player he used to be, but he is a 2nd scorer and a legit SG.
