This upcoming draft is suppose to be pretty strrong too, but tanking?
that ruins the reputation/image of the Pistons imo. This team shouldn't be tanking on purpose imo. Yeah were going to lose a few more games...but no need to just not give a shit. Not saying thats what you mean Jethro
Right, I'm not suggesting tanking by any means. I obviously want to see a team working hard and having fun. But if they lost a number of hard fought games 110-103, I won't have as much difficulty swallowing that pill when they finish 33-49 and get the 9th pick, instead of finishing with 39 wins and the 14th pick.
Remember, Toronto had 33 wins this past season. If they weren't located in Toronto they might be in a decent situation moving forward. If they can find a way to convince Bosh to re-sign and play along with Turk and DeRozan, Bargnani and Calderon - they'll be alright.
We don't have to worry about tanking. We are lottery bound regardless right now. With Kwame starting at C, no real PG and no defense, I don't see us winning more than 30 games right now. I might feel differently after another deal or two but the odds are stacked against us.
dooooooooooooooooomed!

Who exactly is available to us - via free agency or trade - that can solve the problems up front?
Bringing in Boozer, Ben, Wilcox, Rasho, Gooden or Big Baby doesn't solve our problems at C/PF.
Even if one believes it's "OK" for Joe to sign a "place holder" for a season or 2 one must acknowledge that during that time this team is gonna get slaughtered inside.
Some might be happy to take their lumps now in the hope of a big reward down the road. Some are not.
At least give a thought to the die-hards out there that are struggling to accept the fact we're no longer title contenders. After all these years of ruling the East (or close to it) it's hitting home that the immediate future ain't that bright and you don't need to wear shades
