Delk is the man.

I'll be sure to piss on his grave when he's put down for looking like a diseased wild animal. [smilie=2thumbsup.g:

And Evans needs to be cut

Delk is already leading our bench in scoring at 7.2ppg.

Do we have to bring up the darko 2 game genius to remind you of how much that is worth. [smilie=arnold.gif]

Tony's the shit. That was a monster dunk...lol.

The funny thing to me is that he looks like Mike James only 38 shades
darker and looks like he went 12 rounds with Cinderella Man. HAHA!

Don't they keep track of turnovers anymore in the box scores?

I like Delk. He's a fireball off that bench, and exactly what that unit needed.

Easy. Remember that Darko did that while starting the final two games of the season. Delk is doing this without starting and he's playing respectable minutes against teams that are still trying to win.

I think we can all agree this signing is working out fairly well.

He's going to be huge come playoff time.

What a great fucking acquisition.

I can't contain my interacial lust.

he's a mini-microwave. he's a poorman's ben gordon in the past two games. if delk and dice can combine for about 10ppg each (which i don't see as outrageous).....that'd be awesome for us.

I think we can easily expect 25 from the bench every game now.

I like the return of the DNP for Lindsey.

yeah, that's another thing. Delk is 100X better than Lindsey on the offensive end: as a scorer, three point shooter, and even a playmaker. now if Delk is even an average defender, i wouldn't mind seeing Delk take nearly all of Lindsey's minutes.

Agreed. Now swap Delfino for Evans and the bench officially kicks ass.

I thought I was the only one on that boat, but I'm glad I'm not..........unless you're being sarcastic........which is a possibility.......


Back on topic to the lovefest:


Ben Gordon + Seal = Tony Delk

Ben Gordon + Seal = Tony Delk
Not in your wildest archzilla dreams brah. Seal + the ugliest pitbull on linwood and davison=Delk, but not gordon.

i dont see why delk=no lindsey.

it SEEMS like delk might = energy (when was the last time we went to the bench for that?... outside of lindsey).

delk and lindsey could be pitbulls part 2.

im wondering if delk could lead to less minutes for evans. i realize they dont play the same position, but the only thing i see evans bringing to the table that other bench players didnt was energy. hes a true hustler.

if delk works out for us, i hope joe has the foresight to hold on to him, this time.

it wasnt joe's fault that we lost mike james. just an unfortunate scenario.

Delk really is a perfect fit here. He is much better than I anticipated.

Does anyone think Delk might want to stick around after this season?

We will have both exceptions available.

And we don't know if Hunter is gonna retire or not.

Acker's deal for this season wasn't guaranteed so I doubt we have a team option on him for next season either.

Acker will be back. RealGM says the Pistons have a team-option next year for both Amir And Alex. I've never heard of a draft pick having a 1 year deal. Besides, Dumars is high enough on those 2 that they will be back either way.

As for Delk, I would be all for re-signing him. I don't see Lindsey coming back next year, so it should be a no-brainer unless Delk goes off in the playoffs or something and earns himself a pay day.

I dunno. I thought he was a shoo-in, actually figuring that there was all but a handshake agreement in place on next years contract given that he passed on $2M the Lakers were offering him to finish up this season in LA. However all of this Fred Hoiberg talk has me wondering. Can we possibly keep Delk to back-up Billups, and sign Hoiberg to back-up Hamilton? Evans or Delfino would have to be moved in one way or another, especially given that Amir Johnson is expected to back-up the 3 in some capacity come next season.

I think Delk is the perfect fit realistic back-up for Billups, just as I believe Dale Davis is the perfect realistic back-up for Ben Wallace because both offer the poor-mans version of the starter sorta deal.

RGM is the only place that claims Acker and Amir are guaranteed for next season.

Patricia's site doesn't have the contract lengths for Amir or Acker.

Hoopshype doesn't have them on next season's payroll either.

The reason I think Amir will be here is because teams that sign second round picks to guaranteed contracts usually include a team option for the second season.

It allows the team to use the "Gilbert Arenas Rule" in the new CBA too.

BUT:

Acker's contract was widely reported as NOT guaranteed until January.

Why would a non-guaranteed contract have a team option for a second season? They didn't think enough of him to guarantee the first season.

I do agree he'll likely be back next season though.

I made my post under the assumption (which I believe is still correct) that Acker was not guaranteed to be here.

Dosnt it become guaranteed after some point in the season? If thats true, maybe during that first part of the season, they were waiting to see how well he did during work outs. That way, if they were impressed, they could keep him, and if not, they can cut him at no cost to them? follow? do I make any sence here?

It does make sense, except that Acker only played AFTER contracts were guaranteed (January 10th or around then)

Acker made his debut on February 21st.

Unless you are wondering if he kicked ass in practice through November and December to earn his contract?

Yes. Thats exactly what i'm thinking.

The travelin' man

Adventurous Delk already is proving to be a good fit

Joanne C. Gerstner / The Detroit News

AUBURN HILLS -- Pistons guard Tony Delk does not fear change.

He's an adventurous soul, ready, willing and able to frequently move and find his way around new cities. After all, it's just part of working for a living in the NBA.

Delk signed as a free agent with the Pistons two weeks ago, making Detroit the eighth team for which he's played over the past 10 years.

"I'm pretty quick to figure things out, although, I have to say Detroit is a new city for me in terms of knowing how to get around," Delk, 32, said.

"I'm pretty familiar with a lot of cities, thanks to my career. But this is a new one. I'm going to get my maps and check things out. I'll be fine."

While Delk figures out how to execute Michigan's turn-around lefts and drive 85 mph in the right lane of 696, he also will have to absorb coach Flip Saunders' big offensive playbook.

Delk, who was released by the Hawks, can fit in with the Pistons a few ways. He's been used as the shooting guard, but Saunders also wants him at the point.

Delk is proving he's a quick study, scoring in double digits the past two games. He had 11 points in 15 minutes against the Bobcats. And, he had a season-high 16 points, in 22 minutes, against the Wizards.

Delk also had two assists and three rebounds in each of those games.

"I like the energy Tony brings," Saunders said. "He's finding his rhythm, and that's going to be great for us. He's a veteran guy who knows what we're asking him to do."

Figuring out Saunders' offense isn't an easy task, especially this late in the season. His offense is known for having a good degree of complexity, as well as new terminology.

"If you haven't played for Flip, you don't know how his system goes," Pistons point guard Chauncey Billups said. "Tony's a veteran guy, but I guarantee he's never seen anything like this before. It's a lot of sets, and options, and stuff like that. It takes time to get all of it. But he'll be fine."

The Pistons plan to get Delk up to full speed before the playoffs start in a month.

"He's coming along, getting more familiar as far as with what we're doing," Saunders said. "At the two (guard), we can ease him in, not put the ball in his hands as much.

"I like his energy, I like his ability to put it on the floor. He's aggressive, looking to score."

Saunders plans to pair Delk with reserve Lindsey Hunter.

"He's a guy that will give us that depth, like we had with Mike James," Hunter said. "I think that he has the things we try to incorporate: scorer, defensively on-the-ball person that will bring a different dimension to our second unit."

Delk also is happy to be with the Pistons, not only for the chance to challenge for his first NBA championship ring, but for the chance to play. He was stashed on the Hawks bench, not seeing much time.

Delk is 6-foot-2 and weighs 189 pounds, kind of a mirror image of Hunter.

He's strong, quick and can shoot the three, but also isn't afraid of being a defensive pest.

Even though Delk has moved around the NBA a lot, and many of the Pistons such as Billups have, too, he's never played with any of the Pistons.

Delk chose to sign with the Pistons, after clearing waivers, because of his view of their chemistry.

"This is a great team," Delk said. "I mean, how can you not like a team that sticks together and looks like they're genuinely enjoying themselves?

"I've seen a lot of losing with some of the teams I've been on. I know the difference. These guys are really unselfish, and you can tell in the locker room that they like playing with each other.

"I think I fit in really well here, and I can't wait to contribute."

I doubt that - why only have test him in practice?

That's foolish IMO.

Anyway, I seriously doubt he's guaranteed for next season.

I do think he'll be back reagrdless, so it's no big deal.

I was kind of hoping someone could come up with some confirmation regarding his contract though

Nice knowing you Carlos.

"He's a guy that will give us that depth, like we had with Mike James,"

worst comparisom IMO. but whatever. our defense took a rise with james in. it takes a tumble with delk.

please expound how taking arroyos minutes deflates our D.

Delk is just another overrated player. The only reason people think Arroyo can't play D is because he's hispaniel.

That or his constant hand check fouls and getting beat to the basket by guys with the speed of Robert Traylor.

why would i when i never eluded to as much. In fact i've never said we shouldn't have tony delk. Only thing i referred to there was that Delk isnt anything like Mike James IMO. I didnt know arroyo was a factor in this. Especially since he's irrelevent playing for orlando now. If I was comparing defense, it would be to who we have now and only evans has weaker defense on the perimeter. But the guy can score, i don't deny that one bit. And i'll even go as far as to say he puts forth plenty of active effort to TRY and play defense. But he's not good at it and mike james is. That was my only point. Its also all i posted so i dont know where you get the arroyo thing. If anything he's taking hunters/Delfino's minutes and yes those exchange of minutes deflates our defense.

Its not an all bad thing, he puts up his end on offense. But its not always gonna compensate for defense. Especially against a team like washington or dallas.

Sorry, I thought you meant that the arrival of Delk made our team D worse (deflated) than before he arived...;.which I think is what was meant by the James comparison.

You were originally saying that Delks D is worse than Chauncey or Rip....yes? Thats a decent take. Many might disagree, Delk has been applauded for his tough man D, but smooth is all D-team and Rip is improved, so OK I'll accept that. Our D could take a dive with him coming into the game vs. the improvment James gave.

Delk is just another overrated player. The only reason people think Arroyo can't play D is because he's hispaniel.Do you like anyone?

mike james' d wasnt anything spectacular. he just tried really hard at the full court press. i dont see how/why delk cant do the same.

and theres nothing gay about mikey's avatar.

yeah, i want to see more of Delk on defense before saying that "he's no mike james". i mean, james was pesky, and i don't see why Delk can't do the same with his quickness.

because he's gotten beat so far. just average at best. shit he wasnt anything to look at when we played against him. i've seen delk before. he's not hiding any special moves he only brings out for his chance to place with us. ~lol~

Also mikey's avatar is beyond gay. I thought he lost an avatar bet or something.

the thing that i'm wondering is that people seem to think mike james was this lockdown defender when he was off our bench. however from what i remember, james used his quickness and played off of lindsey's defensive prowess.

i'm wondering if delk can play off of lindsey's defense and use his quickness like james did when he was here. i don't remember james being a lindsey-esque one-on-one defender, and i don't think Delk needs to be either.

so, i guess i'm saying i want to see how his defense fits off our bench. i honestly don't remember much of his D before.

Mike James has got to be the most overrated defender I have ever seen on these boards..

and theres nothing gay about mikey's avatar.Haha, it does looks kind of gay. It was the only clear shot of Morissey's face I could find though. I'll look for another one...

Mike James has got to be the most overrated defender I have ever seen on these boards..

I couldn't agree more.

Mike James has got to be the most overrated player I have ever seen on these boards..

Fixed it for you. [smilie=2thumbsup.g:

Sure, he has a catchy name, but I never saw why everyone here had such a huge mancrush on him. He's not even sixth man worthy, and not the type of bench player who will make or break your championship chances like Dice last year and Vinnie in the eighties. He's just not that great.

Also remember that Mike James was here pre-handcheck rules. If you've watched him closely since then, he isn't a great defender at all. Most every "pesky" defender gets beat nowadays with the new rules, because the defender is at such a disadvantage.

james probably is overrated, but i wouldnt go as far as to say we could have won in 04 without him.

the bulldogs were game changers that year. we only lost 2 relevant guys from 04, james and okur, and we adequately replaced okur. james was replaced by...? i would go as far as to say we'd be talking 3 peat if james were here.

not to say that james is irreplaceable, its just that we havent (until maybe delk) replaced him yet. lindsey is the bulldog that is irreplaceable.

That a bit much man. We made it back to the finals, and MJ barely even played for us in the finals in 04. I think he shot .380 in the playoffs as a whole, and the whole "bulldog" thing was bullshit because once sheed's foot flared up we quit with the fullcourt D which was where James was excelling.

I know that Corliss wasn't shooting well in the playoffs but I would certainly call him relevant.

Fer crissakes it was Pitbulls!!!

james showed that delk isnt in his league. but i still think delk will help on offense, though i still wonder about his defense.

I like what Delk is doing for the bench but I have a question.

How does a guy who once scored 53 points in one game without hitting a 3 pointer come here and now the only thing he can do is hit 3 pointers?

the same reason some nobody probally has scored 40+ in a game before. shit Ben scored 30+ before. Yet nobody's expecting Ben Wallace to average even 15 points a game. So i dont get the "he scored 53 points" thing. it was one game and otherwise he wasnt the type of player he was that night.

All in All, it was a fluke.

Funny, last time I checked Ben's career high was 22....

We all realize you have an intense hatred of Delk because you think he's stealing minutes from the basketball god that is Carlos Delfino, but that's no reason to make stuff up.

I didn't ask how he scored 53 points. I know it was a fluke. I was just laughing at the fact that it seems like now all he can do is hit 3's when during his 53 point game, he didn't hit one. I just found it ironic.

Wow, lighten up.

not really....ummm ben scored 30 in a playoff game lasst year didnt he?

Its odd unlike like you on delf i respect delks game. I'm just not gonna go super homer and blow him up to be something he's not. People tried to deflate Mike James to equal to delk which he proved wrong the other night. And some people here are overrating him.

I like what the guy does. But we arent dominating on defense as a team and its showed the past few games. I'd prefer to not get in shooting matches with washington. Delks scoring is worthless to us if we dont defend and its even more worthless if we lose games. If we go on a solid winning streak with him out there i'd feel a lil' better maybe.

pretty funny that you rip on Delk for his defense so much, you completely ignore the fact both BIllups and Delk lit James up like a christmas tree offensively also.

James doesn't play defense anymore. That rep died when he left Detroit and the only ones still clinging to it are Pistons fans that have seen nothing but stat lines from James since he left.

Yeah his offense is a lot better now, but don't act like he's some sort of defensive genius and Delk is a turnstile.

Right now I see little difference between the defense of Delk and Mike James. They're both decent but nothign special on that end.

billups did good, but lit him up? no. he didnt go for 30 and james did as good as you're gonna do guarding billups. Delk made some good spot up shots in the first half but didnt do much of anything in the second. way to light it up.

if you are comparing the two, yes james is a genius and delk is a turnstile. i'd take james over delk every day of the week man. but when i say this its not a knock on delk. he'll do aight for some scoring off the bench. but its only an insult to your manlove for him. i can't help insulting that. im not gonna overrate Delk or compare his offense to delfino's offense only to maximize the overrating. the guy's a good fit and he's exactly what i said we would get. A guy whose not as good as arroyo but fits the system. i still stand by that. Delk is the pg shooter we needed off the bench. but he's not the second coming of vj or even close to such. I wouldnt have anything but nice things to say about him if you werent calling more than what he is. You leave no room to compliment him with all the ballwashing you do for him. dudes a shooter, damn good spot up shooter. i wouldnt say scoring because he's not that good at finishing on his drives. but he's got an a-1 grade A jumper.

pitbull? no. solid defender? no. vj? no. scorer? not really, like i said shooter.

and for the record james did damn good for a guy with no help on defense all night. by far better than our defense on the perimeter, luckily our bigs bailed us out something fierce.

billups did good, but lit him up? no. he didnt go for 30 and james did as good as you're gonna do guarding billups.

You're right. he "only" went for 26. and 10 assists. on %70 shooting from the floor.

But yeah, WOW that Mike James is one defensive menace! Why, he's almost as dominant as Carlos Delfino!


and for the record james did damn good for a guy with no help on defense all night.

"damn good?"

Exactly what how badly would he have to get burned for you to consider him "damn bad?" 40 points and 20 assists on %100 shooting?


You leave no room to compliment him with all the ballwashing you do for him.

Funny, everyone keeps telling you that about Delfino but you don't seem to give a shit....

Buy a tissue, dude. You're crying all over the thread.

At least Delk actually PLAYS....

So is your delk ballwashing a response to delfino ballwashing by others? you're a little too old for that game honestly. of course none of them started a delfino appreciation page. [smilie=arrgh.jpg]


But yeah, WOW that Mike James is one defensive menace! Why, he's almost as dominant as Carlos Delfino!

with statements and cheap shots like this the above question is reiterated. Are you over ballwashing on delk to reflect your narrow minded perception of the people on this board you've labeled as delfino groupies?
they arent even relevent to each other(its more of an evans and delfino thing). yet whenever someone gets on your beloved delk ballwashing cheap shot delfino. as you would say. funny.

boo hoo all you want but cbill "lit up" james then james did likewise to him. So james can battle cbill to the limit which in turn goes back to james>delk easy. doesnt mean delk is a bum. but he's not touching mike james IMO. if you take mike james out of the equation, delk is a solid shooter to bring off the bench. your efforts to call him anything more than that have no support of such. In fact you're the one who tried call him a tenacious board crasher though he's averaged less than 2 boards a game. i guess he's just unlucky on rebounds. [smilie=arrgh.jpg] ...either way you sure know how to fuck up someone's enjoyment of players on this team by overrateing them and/or underrating them

this deserves a bump.

Delk is averaging double digits in his past 5 games while shooting over 50% FG.

the guy has been a perfect scoring spark plug off of our bench. couple that with Dice's scoring and rebounding.....our bench is looking GOOD.

Delk is a monster. He has single handidly turned this bench into a force.

If only we could have gotten him last year...

Tony Delk is blossoming [smilie=2thumbsup.g:
btw hes not blossoming® only Tayshaun can, just to keep Mola happy [smilie=cigar.jpg]

edit: what? i can't write blossoming without ® [smilie=arrgh.jpg]

It looks like Tony Delk, of all people, could be the acquisition that solidifies our title hopes.

The guy is everything we were missing.

He solidifies the bench and makes the team an infallible unit.

He completes me (and he had me at hello)!

LOL.......thanks for the early morning laugh. [smilie=rofl3.gif]

He's Delkalicious and whatnot.

Actually, he's Delktastic.

Who are you?

Yeah, Delk's been playing great, but part of me thinks that it's just as much Arroyo being gone as anything. We improved a lot by not playing Arroyo.

This is the part of the movie where Taymelo smooches a Scientologist. Eventually, in real life, Taymelo turns anorexic and briefly marries some punk country star.

He gives the Pistons what they were lacking last season: a perimeter scoring threat off the bench. Great acquisition.

DELK>YOU

How many points does Delk need to score in order to average double-digits for the season? That would be pretty cool.

he needs 68 points over his last 3 games. Thats about 23ppg.

Delk kills Pacer fans in his spare time and then eats them in the offseason.

Yes, yes he does.
