i'd prefer to keep Ben at a hefty but not backbreaking 3-4 year contract and deal Sheed.

Call me crazy but I never thought that Ben liked Sheed. Never liked that Sheed got quite a bit of cred about the championship we won.
I thought Ben was different, but I'm not so sure.
To have the team mentality, some have to swallow those egos. We did that for one year, but it looks like it rapidly coming to a close.
Ben to RW..."This team aint big enough for both of us" --my crazy thoughts, not quoting Ben.
7 boards 7 pts in 30 minutes...If thats the heart and soul of our team, we don't have much of a pulse. Yea, lets build our team around him.
Please with the numbers. Any man going 1 on 1 vs Shaq isnt going to get anywhere close to normal numbers. Ben is much more than numbers to this team
Ben needs to be moved to power forward ASAP.
Please with the Ben does so much that isn't on the stat sheet talk. How is anyone supposed to debate against this?
He does so much more shit that can't be quantified???? That shits wearing thin here. But go for it, believe it, I just don't believe it anymore.
The Ben I knew and loved said "I love playing in Detroit" Not this horseshit double talk, negotiating shit.
Ben might be the heart of this team, but heart is what it seemed like we were lacking at crucial points in the playoffs.
Werd, Tahoe. Werd.
Now I'm wondering if Joe actually decided to wait to extend Ben earlier this year (as was reported) or if Ben told him he wanted to wait or even if he told him he wanted out.
i keep thinking that this playoffs might be a good thing for the future of the team, regarding Ben's contract.
what if we squeaked by Miami and then made it to the Finals. at that point i think we all agree that the starting five shouldn't be touched and Ben gets his money. Joe D's hands are almost tied in this situation.
now that the Pistons seemingly imploded and Ben was at the center of team dissention.....Joe D has an out. now it almost looks like a perfect time for the Pistons and Ben to part ways. plus, we get to avoid all the hand wringing about being tied down to 4-5 years of Ben declining even further while we're paying him big bucks.
Funny how KG hated playing for Flipper, and now Big Ben hates playing for Flipper.
Coincidence?
Ben complained while playing for Carlisle, complained while playing for LB, and complained while playing for Flip.
coincidence?
