Richard Hamilton says no one in the Detroit organization has told him why he hasn't played in six straight games.

Hamilton was rumored to be part of a three-team trade with the Nets and Nuggets that would have brought him to New Jersey, but the deal fell apart on Wednesday night.

Pistons coach John Kuester said he was simply trying to shake up his rotation when Hamilton was benched more than a week ago.

"You know they sat me down and you hear all these different allegations for why they sat me down and things like that," Hamilton said.

"It was crazy to me because I want to play basketball. I want to get out there and perform, that's all I have been doing since I have been in the NBA."

Hamilton is still waiting for either Kuester or president Joe Dumars to speak with him.

"It's the same thing as the whole situation went on, no one is telling me what is going on," the guard said. "It's one of those things, you give to your team for the last nine years your blood, sweat and tears and you never expect nothing like that to happen. But it happened."
