Pistons' guard Richard Hamilton has struggled with the trade of longtime teammate Chauncey Billups and seems hesitant alongside Allen Iverson and Rodney Stuckey.

Detroit coach Michael Curry has been mulling over a decision to bring either Iverson or Hamilton off the bench because he would prefer to go with a bigger lineup for defensive purposes.

Hamilton has a reputation of being an emotional player, and although he's a team player, going to the bench might cause even more unhappiness for him in Motown.
