The Detroit Pistons rounded out their coaching staff -- again -- Tuesday by naming Ron Harper an assistant coach.
Harper joins Sidney Lowe, Don Zierden, Igor Kokoskov, Kevin Wilson, and Brendan O'Conner on Coach Flip Saunders' staff.
Harper played 15 years in the NBA, winning five championships, in Chicago and Los Angeles. His last ring came in 2000 with the Lakers. He spent the early years of his career with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Clippers.
In the days following his hiring, Saunders' staff was advertised as being much smaller than the 7-man crew former Coach Larry Brown carried.
After originally being declared "complete" by Saunders and President of Basketball Operations Joe Dumars following the appointment of Lowe and Zierden to join holdovers Kokoskov and O'Conner, the team has since added Wilson and now Harper.

Geoff Petrie, the Kings' president of basketball operations, said Wednesday the team is unlikely to match the offer sheet that Maurice Evans signed with the Pistons.
In reality, the Kings don't have bargaining power. Their mid-level exception is gone, and they don't have much spare money left under the salary cap.

The Detroit Pistons have signed Sacramento's Maurice Evans to a three-year $4.5 million-dollar offer.
The Kings have seven days to match the offer to retain Evans, a restricted free agent.
Detroit wants to add the six-foot-five, 220-pound Evans because he would provide depth behind starting small forward Tayshaun Prince and shooting guard Richard Hamilton.
He would compete with Carlos Delfino and Ronald Dupree for playing time, if Sacramento doesn't match the offer.
