The trade winds are getting gusty and if you listen you’ll hear Rasheed’s name being mentioned more and more.

Well, here’s how Rasheed feels about the prospect of pulling another team’s jersey over his head:

“If I get traded, I get traded,” Wallace said prior to the Pistons’ shoot-around this morning. “If it happens, can’t cry over spilled milk. I just know wherever I go, wherever I get traded to, you gotta go and ball.” (Via A .Sherrod at mlive)

That’s your typical nonchalant ‘it’s a business’ answer.  That’s the answer you’re supposed to give while you’re still lacing ‘em up with your current team.

I suspect though if Sheed does get dealt we’ll eventually get some ‘Sheed-worthy’ quotes that would perhaps shed some more light on just why this team can’t seem to bring it all together.

UPDATE: Chris McCoskey has more of Rasheed’s feelings about trade rumors

I present to you early 90’s wrestling decadence. Those lyrics…geeez.

The Pistons (26-21, 12-10 road) will be in Milwaukee to take on the Bucks (24-28). The tip will be at 8:30 est from the Bradley Center.  The game can be viewed locally on Fox Sports Detroit.

Bucks’ Snapshot
Home record: 14-8
Last game: 02/03 (Tues) L 85-99 @ Nets
Last 10: 4-6
Streak: Lost 1
Vs. Pistons: Nov. 28th – Bucks (97) @ PISTONS (107) / Dec 27th – PISTONS (87) @ Bucks (76)
Injuries: Andrew Bogut (lower back stress fracture – out), Michael Redd (torn MCL & ACL – out), Luke Ridnour (broken thmb – out)

The timing couldn’t be more opportune for the Pistons tonight in Milwaukee where they’ll be taken on the injury ravaged Bucks.  Plus, the Bucks are one of the few teams the Pistons have had success with this season winning by an average of 10.5 points, while holding the Bucks to 35.5% shooting in the team’s two meetings.

The Bucks are without out their top offensive player, Redd.  Without their best defensive player, Bogut.  And, without there starting point guard, Ridnour.

As irony would have it the John Hammond traded away backup PG Tyronn Lue just hours before Luke Ridnour broke his thumb in practice.  That leaves Milwaukee with only one true PG in Ramon Sessions.

“We have to take full advantage of this opportunity,” McDyess said Friday at the Pistons practice facility. “They have a lot of players out. We have to pull these games out. We’ve had our issues of going through the motions and letting the game come to us. We can’t do that. We have to go out and be aggressive.” -DetNews
