Webber wants Detroit; Mo-Pete to Minnesota?

Chris Webber wants Detroit
Sources say that the 33-year old Webber has the Detroit Pistons at the top of his list, and the several teams behind them are distant choices. Other teams that are vying for his services include the Minnesota Timberwolves, Los Angeles Lakers, and the New York Knicks. The Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs, two teams on Webber's list, were never in the running and most likely never will be.

Morris Peterson drawing plenty of interest
The Toronto Raptors have received at least 10 offers for swingman Morris Peterson, according to sources. The Minnesota Timberwolves are rumored to have made an offer that would send Ricky Davis and Bracey Wright to Toronto for Peterson, Kris Humphries, and a second-round draft pick. However, the legitimacy of this rumor is not known.

Suns to buy out Jalen Rose
The Phoenix Suns are reportedly going to buy out the contract of 34-year old Jalen Rose.

New York Knicks general manager Isiah Thomas shot down any notion of a potential buy-out of guard Steve Francis, who has not lived up to expectations as a Knick. However, most indications are that Francis will be bought out. The question isn't if; it's when.
