Pistons' guard Richard Hamilton has agreed to be the team's sixth man as coach Michael Curry switches to a more defensive-oriented starting lineup.

"A lot of people have made a lot of things about this," Hamilton said. "Regardless, you want to win games. Me and Allen [Iverson] both know that. They told me I was coming off the bench, that it was something MC (Curry) wanted, and I said, 'Fine, cool.'

"The bottom line is you want to win games. If this is the best way we can win a championship, then I am all for it. The thing is, we have two great scorers, me and A.I. We have to figure out how both of us can be our best."

Iverson will start at shooting guard while Amir Johnson will take Hamilton's spot in the starting lineup on most nights.
