The former No. 1 overall draft pick by the Washington Wizards (2001), free agent center Kwame Brown, was signed by the Detroit Pistons. According to Detroit Pistons President of Basketball Operations Joe Dumars the team is pleased to add Brown to their roster. “Kwame is a player that gives us depth at the center position and we feel that he will have the opportunity to grow within our system.”
The star was acquired by the Grizzlies on February 1 from the Lakers along with Javaris Crittenton, Aaron McKie, the rights to Marc Gasol, two future first round picks and cash considerations in exchange for Pau Gasol and a 2010 second round pick.
