The NBA lockout might be halting player movement, but the agent shuffle seemingly never ends. Pistons Rodney Stuckey and Austin Daye dumped agents recently. Stuckey fired Steve Banks, and Daye has moved on from Bill Duffy of BDA Sports. Stuckey, who has had multiple agents in his four NBA seasons, has moved on to Leon Rose, who represents stars such as LeBron James and Chris Paul. There was no word on Daye's new agent. Pistons guard Terrico White fired Todd Ramasar before he even got through his rookie season. Ramasar also works for BDA. White, who missed last season with a broken right foot, hired Mitch Frankel of Impact Sports. Detroit Free Press

Pistons forward Austin Daye, despite playing fairly well in his first two NBA seasons, has yet to buy a house. He explained his reasoning last week during his second annual basketball camp in his hometown of Irvine, Calif. "I don't feel a need to buy a place," Daye told the Orange County (Calif.) Register. "In Detroit, there are great houses out there that I just lease. I don't feel there is a need for me to buy a house in Detroit, because you never know when you're going to be traded.

Today, the multilingual Sportando has Daye quoted – albeit in Italian from an unnamed source – that “At the moment […] I think there could definitely be an option if I feel the need to play. The third year is the most important of all. If the [NBA] season doesn’t start, I might even decide to go to Europe.” Ball In Europe

Austin Daye doesn't consider himself an expert on the complicated NBA lockout, which was implemented Friday. But, the Pistons forward sees both sides of the wide gap between players and owners. "What they're asking for is a bit harsh, and that's the decision they had to make," Daye said on the owners' decision to lock out players. "We have to set a meeting to see what they want." Detroit News

Both sides have spoken the usual rhetoric about taking as long as possible to get the right deal. Daye hopes it's merely public posturing. "Is going the distance mean (canceling) the whole season? I hope not," he said. "My main concern is getting to training camp, but my job is to get better in the offseason until things are resolved." Detroit News

Like many of the players, Daye believes in some form of revenue sharing. "If I was an owner for a team that's struggling, I'd understand where they were coming from," said Daye, pointing out the Lakers' new local TV deal worth up to $150 million a year the next 20 years. "They're different than (small markets) Toronto or Milwaukee." Detroit News

Armed with a regime from Arnie Kander, the team's strength and conditioning coach, expect Daye to fill out about another 20-pounds or so over the next two years. "He asked me once if I could do something to slow down his metabolism," Kander joked last week. "As he gets older he'll naturally add more weight." Right now Daye has a problem that most of us would like to have -- he sheds pounds quickly during the course of the season. "He was probably up to 215-pounds by the start of the season," Kander said of the forward who's in line to replace Tayshaun Prince at small forward if the veteran free agent leaves. "By the end of the year he had probably lost close to 10 pounds. ... He'll gain weight during the summer, guaranteed, every year. The problem is once you start to run during an NBA season, you're going to lose at least 10 of that during a season just because of the nature of the schedule. You're constantly running, not much recovery and all of that. Detroit Free Press

Austin Daye: Looking forward to tonights game cuz 1 of the all time greats will b getting his jersey retired...Dennis Rodman, should b a great night! Twitter

Daye also said it was during his sophomore year when things began to crystallize about college sports being big business, as opposed to being amateur athletics. "I love my school," he said. "They loved basketball, and you could tell by all the jerseys the students and the parents were wearing. It was all over Eastbay. … You go to the student center and there are no jerseys for sale." Gonzaga is building a new arena, and Daye doesn't think it's too hard to connect the dots. "I'm sure some of that is from the money we generated," he said. "Why wait, why go through another year, especially if your family is struggling?" Detroit News

The "Fab Five" documentary at 9 tonight on ESPN will be considered must-see TV by many basketball fans. For several young NBA players, such as Detroit Pistons players Greg Monroe and Austin Daye, it will be a history lesson about the game they live and love. Monroe was 9 months old and Daye just 2 years old in March 1991, when Chris Webber and Jalen Rose committed to attend the University of Michigan on the same day they won separate high school state titles. Those commitments completed a class of incoming freshman at Michigan that featured five players rated in the top 100 national recruits, including four ranked in the top 10. Booth Newspapers

Monroe, who has met Webber and played against Howard (now with the Miami Heat), said he will tune in to watch the much-anticipated documentary. "Mostly, I remember them in the NBA," Monroe said following a practice last week. "That’s where I saw Jalen Rose, Chris Webber and Juwan Howard. Growing up, you heard about them and how they set a new style and trend in basketball on and off the court." Daye said his DVR will be set to record the show. "I’m definitely going to watch," he said. "Jalen Rose was one of my favorite players growing up." Booth Newspapers

Austin Daye apologized to Pistons coach John Kuester and the Pistons fans for arriving late to Friday's now famous shootaround. According to Daye he was late because of a simple miscommunication on his part. “I was late to shootaround,” Daye said. “I made a mistake. I wasn’t paying attention. Everyone was leaving and my phone, I didn’t get a text message. I was late to shootaround. I missed the first bus. I showed up late, but that’s what you get when you make a mistake.” Oakland Press

Daye said he wasn’t part of any player protest against Kuester and he apologized to Kuester for being late. “For me personally, I have no problem with coach,” Daye said. “He’s been playing me so why would I protest him. “I was late,” Daye later added. “It’s inexcusable for a player to be late because of a miscommunication. I got benched for the game and I understood why. I didn’t hold a grudge. I wasn’t telling coach that was the wrong decision because I told him when I saw him it was the right decision. He stepped up and started me tonight.” Oakland Press
