Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy didn't T... Numminen Jerseywant to scrap a trade he was convinced would make his team better.

He had no other choice.

Detroit rescinded a three-player, h... trade with the Houston Rockets and Philadelphia 76ers on Monday, negating it because not all the players involved were cleared medically.

Houston had traded guard Marcus Thornton and center Donatas Motiejunas to Detroit last week for center Joel Anthony and a protected, first-round draft pick this year.

The Rockets also made the move to acquire the draft rights of forward Chukwudiebere [url=http://www.officialjetsonlinestore.com/Womens_Youth_Toby_Enstrom_Jersey]htt... from Philadelphia.

Van Gundy, who also serves [url=http://www.officialislandersstore.com/Womens_Youth_Mike_Bossy_Jersey]Mike Bossy Jerseyas team president, regretted the deal had to be ditched.

''It's disappointing because we saw the possibilities with Donatas, but I'd do it over again,'' he said before the Pistons played the Cavaliers. ''We did our due diligence and thought it was too much of a risk.''

The Pistons did not specify any medical information due [url=http://www.officialislandersstore.com/Womens_Youth_Mikhail_Grabovski_Jersey... privacy issues.

Van Gundy said Anthony will rejoin the Pistons for Wednesday's home game against Philadelphia.

''I've never been through a situation like this,'' Van Gundy said. ''It's a little bit awkward, but I'm glad it happened with a guy who is such a true professional in Joel.''

Thornton averaged 10 points in his first 47 games with Houston. Motiejunas started 62 games for the Rockets last season, but appeared in just 14 games this season after having back surgery. Anthony has been a seldom-used reserve for the Pistons.
