Detroit Pistons
The Houston Rockets, a franchise defined by its legacy of elite centers, bid farewell to one of the greats on Thursday: [ Follow Dunks Don't Lie on Tumblr:  The best slams from all of basketball] The Rockets sending center Joel Anthony to the Sixers, a source told Yahoo Sports. — Marc J. Spears (@SpearsNBAYahoo) February 18, 2016 Now, granted: the Rockets had only employed him for about three hours, after receiving him along with a protected first-round pick in a deal that sent big man Donatas Motiejunas and reserve guard Marcus Thornton to the Detroit Pistons ... To be clearer: Anthony goes to Sixers through Houston, who acquired him from Detroit in 3-player trade. Rockets ship out second-round pick. — Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojVerticalNBA) February 18, 2016 ... but that doesn't mean the 33-year-old veteran didn't make an impact on the Rockets fanbase. Just check out this moving tribute to Anthony posted after his exit Thursday: Truly touching stuff and, I think, a fitting tribute to all that Anthony contributed to the Rockets organization.

Detroit Pistons
Coach Stan Van Gundy lamented a lack of bench production in a November loss to the Washington Wizards, previewing what would become a troubling trend the playoff-hopeful Detroit Pistons set out to reverse before the trade deadline. Desperate to spark a postseason push, the Wizards added the volatile Markieff Morris. A day after both teams made significant moves, the visiting Pistons look to avoid a season high-tying fourth straight defeat Friday night when the Wizards go after their second consecutive victory to begin a stretch of three games in as many nights.

Washington Wizards
As the Washington Wizards prepare to welcome a new mercurial power forward into their midst, it feels only right that we check in with a Ghost of Wizmas Past. [ Follow Dunks Don't Lie on Tumblr:  The best slams from all of basketball] Andray Blatche, a longtime Wizard who last played in the NBA in 2014 with the Brooklyn Nets, has spent the last two seasons with the Xinjiang Flying Tigers of the Chinese Basketball Association, helping lead them to the No. 2 seed in the current CBA playoffs and a matchup with Stephon Marbury's Beijing Ducks in the first round. During the second quarter of Game 2 of their matchup, Blatche appeared to get walloped on the way to the basket, but didn't get the benefit of the whistle from the referee. This displeased the man who brought us Lapdance Tuesday , and he communicated as much through the international language of headband-throwing. That, of course, will get you a technical foul in just about any league in any land, and it earned Blatche one in this instance, too. Blatche, however, would regain his composure and take out his frustrations on the Ducks in the second half. He scored 16 points in the third quarter to lead Xinjiang back and helped propel them to a 104-101 win that gave them a 2-0 lead over the defending CBA champion Ducks. Blatche has dominated Beijing, rolling up 76 points, 29 rebounds, 10 assists and six steals through the first two games of the series, continuing a stellar season and bringing the Flying Tigers within one game of advancing to the second round. One can only hope that if Blatche is able to lead Xinjiang to a title, like Marbury before him, Chinese fans will erect a statue in his honor ... and that that statue depicts Blatche throwing a headband at an official, in an act demonstrating his unbridled passion for fair play and justice.

Detroit Pistons
Houston's second-half playoff push will happen with Dwight Howard still around, while Phoenix will play out the season devoid of Markieff Morris. After some speculation, Houston (27-28) ended up holding onto Howard through Thursday's trade deadline, and he's now charged with helping to turn things around for the up-and-down Rockets. The team did, however, deal forward/center Donatas Motiejunas and guard Marcus Thornton to Detroit in a three-team trade that also includes Philadelphia. Continue to Article
