Chris McCosky of the Detroit News reports: On Tuesday, President Joe Dumars introduced the Pistons' first-round draft pick, Tayshaun Prince, to the local media.

In two weeks, he hopes to introduce a new point guard.

Dumars said Tuesday he has made preliminary contact with the representatives of free agent point guards Jeff McInnis (Clippers), Travis Best (Bulls) and Chauncey Billups (Timberwolves).

He hopes to bring at least one of them in for an interview -- McInnis would most likely be first -- this weekend.

"We have a specific area we are targeting in free agency," Dumars said. "I think everybody is well aware that we are looking for a point guard to help Chucky (Atkins, last year's starter)."

Dumars said there are eight to 12 teams vying for each of the three point guards, and every team is offering the same basic financial package -- the $4.6 million mid-level salary cap exception.

"Because the money is the same, it really comes down to intangibles," Dumars said. "It comes down to where they want to play. It comes down to playing time, will they be able to start. It comes down to the direction the team is heading, is it winning or losing, does he fit in with the coach and the system -- those kinds of things."

The Pistons, coming off a 50-win season, have some intangibles in their favor with two of the players. McInnis played in the same backcourt with Jerry Stackhouse at North Carolina, and the two are long-time friends. Best played for three seasons under Coach Rick Carlisle's offensive system in Indiana.

"This is really all we are focusing on in free agency," Dumars said. "You aren't going to see a big cast of guys coming through here. This is just a small group we have zeroed in on."
