"Joe understands team," said ESPN analyst Greg Anthony, who has been considered for general manager positions with several NBA teams recently. "Basketball is not about having the five best players. It's about having five players that play the best together. It's a puzzle. You have to know how to fit the pieces together and that's what Joe Dumars has been able to do better than anybody."


This summer, Ben Wallace will become a free agent, but Dumars already has structured his payroll in a way that will enable the team to make Wallace the richest Pistons player ever.

"Moves that we made two years ago (trading Williamson, not re-signing Mehmet Okur) we made because we knew this day was coming," Dumars said. "We are prepared for this. We didn't just wake up six months ago and say, 'Uh-oh, Ben's going to be a free agent.' "

I can't see that being a good move.

You'd much rather have Kenny Smith, right?

Maybe he's just being in-character?

Good stuff, i like the quotes from other people in the league.

Good article.

I wonder what kind of articles we'd be reading if Isiah never got in Davison's doghouse and ended up being team president.

We'd be fucked.

Assholes would be posting "LOL@Pistons" threads all over the internets.

No Detroit fan should think that's a good idea. We all know what a former player and analyst with NO GM background can do. [smilie=2thumbsup.g:

There is more than one internet?

Hook me up GD

Just had to post this:

Houston Rockets
Titles won: 1993-94, '94-95
Known for: Michael Jordan, minor-league baseball player
Superstar: Hakeem Olajuwon
Complementary star: Vernon Maxwell

LMAO - They won back to back titles and that's how they're remembered?

BTW, no mention of Clyde and Kenny Smith? I'm sure somewhere the original Mad Max is loving that

Yeah, everyone knows if MJ didn't quit for 2 years none of those players would be wearing rings right now.
