    Pistons to sign Ratliff
    Chris McCosky / The Detroit News

    LOS ANGELES -- The Pistons are about to land the veteran big man they've coveted -- and his name isn't Dale Davis.

    The Minnesota Timberwolves placed veteran center Theo Ratliff on waivers Thursday night and have agreed to buy out the remainder of his $11.6 million contract.

    If Ratliff clears waivers in the next 48 hours -- which is almost a given with his salary -- he will sign with the Pistons for the prorated amount of the veteran's minimum ($1.3 million).

    Ratliff, 34, was drafted by the Pistons in 1995. He has only played 12 games the last two years, but he is healthy now.

    He played in the last 10 games with the Timberwolves, averaging 6.3 points and 3.9 rebounds.

    yup, forget Gasol or Shaq or Kidd or even KG. Theo is the pick-up the NBA should be abuzz about.

    Yet another veteran getting waived and signing with a contender. Great move for Detroit without a doubt...I'm surprised no other team would want him.

    At his price, I think he's a better deal than KT...but I suppose the Spurs wanted that Elbow shot threat.
