“Sources also say that Philadelphia maintains an affinity for Reed — revered as Bball Paul during his four-season stint with the 76ers — but the current expectation is that the Sixers would not pursue a reunion with Reed until after the Feb. 6 trade deadline. (Which means, obviously, that Reed would also have to still be available.),” they wrote.

Over the weekend, the Detroit Pistons have made multiple moves ahead of "trade season" in the NBA. Shortly after waiving a player, they've decided to bring them back. On Saturday evening, the Pistons announced that they waived forward/center Paul Reed.

The Pistons decided to use that time to maneuver through their cap sheet, including waiving veteran center Paul Reed and re-signing him two days later to a veteran minimum deal. In between, they signed Motor City Cruise wing Javante McCoy to a guaranteed contract and then waived him within 24 hours.
