Via Detroit News:

Brezec wants to stay with the Pistons for the long haul. His contract expires after this season. He is moving his wife and young daughter to Detroit, at least for the rest of the season, starting Monday.

“I can’t wait until I sell my house here in Charlotte,” Brezec said. “It’s time for me to move on. Detroit is my home. I hope 10 more years. I hope to retire here.”

Detroit’s secret weapon for keeping Brezec?

Snow. Really.

“We love the snow,” Brezec said. “It is like being at home in Slovenia. We have snow there, too. We like seeing it.”

I’d love to play poker with Primo. I really like how much Brezec loves being a Pistons and I think he’s really going to endear himself to the fans but he might want to dial it down a notch. At this rate Joe D will be able to re-sign him for ball boys salary and an autographed Rip mask.

Speaking of Rip Hamilton…
