The Pistons held out Richard Hamilton for the second straight game on Friday night amid talks of a three-team trade with the Nets and Nuggets.

Hamilton has been Detroit's leading scorer for the last seven seasons.

"Man, I really don't know what to make of it," Ben Wallace told the Detroit News. "It's tough because you've got a bona fide All-Star in this league. I don't know. I guess coach has his reasons but I don't see it. I just don't see it."

The Pistons are the third team in a blockbuster deal that would send Carmelo Anthony to the Nets.

"This is a very different situation for me," Hamilton said. "I've never been in this situation my whole career. I don't know where to look."

Hamilton has consulted his agent about the sudden lack of playing time, but has not spoken with anyone else, including Pistons coach John Kuester.

"Do I want to play?" Hamilton said. "Yes. Do I want to be on the floor competing? Yes. Am I doing that right now? No. I want to play, I want to get on the floor, I want to get an opportunity to do something that I love to do."
