Do you want Ben back?

That's very true of folks like us, but that's not who they'd be doing it to market to.

Anybody want to guess when this happens?

Leaked Monday, Tuesday presser?

Do the local hacks get the story first or national?

we are not winning anything this year anyways. Why not welcome him back? I would definitely be excited.

I would much rather have Rasho. He could potentially start. I don't think that's an option with Ben anymore.

I'll get excited if he produces. I still think he's most likely spurs.

The Spurs got Theo Ratliff already, too.

Big Ben for the minimum may be the best value deal Joe D did all summer long ;)

plus he can fill some of the veterans presense/leadership role, that we've lost with Chauncey, Sheed, Dice gone...even if he's just sitting on the bench the most of the time, good locker room presense, and can help the young kids to bring it every night...he can retires as a Piston, good way to end his career

You know the (half empty) Palace would be (mildly impressed) to see an opposing player waltz down the lane for a layup, only to get blocked by Ben and hear the gong.

Exactly what the Pistons are thinking, I bet.

If we're not going to contend, might as well be entertained.

Really don't care to read all that....

but I voted yes. Just kind of a 'fuck it, why not?' vote. I could bust out my inflatable Ben and old jersey again.
