"If free agency indeed starts Dec. 9, the Pistons soon can try to address their seemingly perpetual need for size.

There are top-tier post players available in the Mavericks' Tyson Chandler (a previous Pistons target) and the Nuggets' Nene, though it's unlikely the Pistons will be able to afford them.

The Celtics' Glen (Big Baby) Davis and the Kings' Samuel Dalembert could be lower-priced options. The Pistons pursued Davis in the summer of 2009."
