The Detroit Pistons sensed that Tayshaun Prince was not ecstatic about his trade to the team from the Boston Celtics.

The Pistons do not plan to buy out Prince so that he could potentially sign with a contender.

"That's an interesting situation because I think that was his expectation, quite frankly," Stan Van Gundy said. "That's certainly not why we acquired him. We didn't acquire him with any kind of promise from us that we were going to buy him out. We brought him in here to play and play a lot. I think yesterday when I talked to him, yeah, his head was spinning a little. Things hadn't gone in a direction he expected.

"Reggie was really, really excited. I think Tayshaun was — not unhappy, but he was sort of trying to figure out what the hell happened, and I understand that."
