Kind of a weird question, but what the hell.

More and more (not just this year), I find myself getting more excited about the offseason (lottery, draft, free agency) than I do the actual playoffs.

Am I alone here?

Depends on how far the team goes into the playoffs. But this year, yeah, offseason for me.

Bill Simmons touched on this last week. (http://insider.espn.go.com/espn/page2/blog/entry?id=2903225&searchName=simmons&action=login&appRedirect=http%3a%2f%2finsider.espn.go.com%2fesp n%2fpage2%2fblog%2fentry%3fid%3d2903225%26searchNa me%3dsimmons)

I'm definitely more interested in the offseason, but I'm also the one who simulates most of the games during my seasons on video games to get to the offseason. The changing faces are always intriguing to me.

Depends on whether we have a legit chance at winning it all. For the last two years I would say offseason since I've grown sick of slack ass play in the playoffs being our demise.

I guess it's not surprising that we all seem to enjoy the "transactiony" stuff more than most, I think that is what draws a lot of us to Pistons discussion boards. The need for info.

I really though last year was going to be pretty boring. Resign Ben, get Bonzi with the MLE and nothing to draft really.

Then Ben left and things got a little more interesting.

Interesting question, I like the postseason, but it becomes unbareable when the Pistons play like shit, and I LOVE the offeseason, b/c I love tracking all the player movement, and the draft is always fun to watch.

Especially since the Pistons have a mid 1st rounder this year, the draft will be even better...

Hard to say really, but I'll take the postseason. I love watching the Pistons when they are in sync during playoff games. It can be some of the most beautiful basketball you'll ever watch whent he Pistons are firing on all cylinders (first 7 games of this postseason).

me too.

I think this offseasn should be pretty fun because of the kobe,kg,jermaine talks. Our draft. Teams like the Wizards and Knicks being potentially fucked. FA like Billups,Rashard,Vince.

The offseason feels too long. There's that month or two when nothing happens.

I miss smacking them in the mouth with that trophy.

i much prefer the season/ playoffs.

I might need to change my vote now.
