Contrary to rumors, Pistons forward Rasheed Wallace never asked the team for a buyout of his contract during their disappointing season.
Joe Dumars confirmed in an e-mail to the Detroit News that the rumor was false.
Wallace was known to joke about receiving a buyout in the team's locker room. It all reportedly started when the Pistons signed Chris Webber after he'd been bought out by the 76ers a couple years ago.
