Richard Hamilton has become a distraction for the Pistons, according to a team source.

He missed Sunday's game and complaints about his diminished role have led some in the organization to wonder if Hamilton has quit on the Pistons.

"He quit on us," one team source said. Another team source said Hamilton is acting out of emotion and should adjust.

"If I need to have a long talk with him, I will," team president Joe Dumars said Monday on WDFN.

"I'll see how Rip is doing tomorrow when he gets in here. Rip's been good for me."
