Points per game: 3.0
Rebounds per game: 3.1
The Pistons obtained Ratliff from Minnesota earlier this season, enduring his outsized contract for help during their playoff push. The Pistons fell short of the championship round, though his expiring contract means there's more cash to go after other players with.

2007-08 statistics:
Minutes per game: 7.5
Points per game: 1.7

2007-08 statistics:

Memphis Grizzlies
Annual salary: $8.3 million
2007-08 statistics:
Minutes per game: 13.6

2007-08 statistics:
Minutes per game: 12.2
Points per game: 1.4
