Kstat, I think Bonzi was our primary target with the MLE. As we have seen, players don't really like to take paycuts. He will probably stay with Sacramento or do a S&T. Can you honestly say that we can afford to ignore the defensive post, because we at least have Delfino to backup the SG/SF spot. Currently, it looks like Dale Davis and Rasheed will start, with Dice in the same role but more minutes. I don't think is very good, but it sounds like the most likely scenario.
Why would we sign Hunter to a 2 year deal? We need the cap space for next season. This sucks ass. I smell a MLE on Nazr Muhammed coming and I don't like it.
There's no big man out there worth the MLE. Bonzi Wells would be.
If we don't wina title this year because we dont have joel pryzbilla, i can live with that and use our MLE next year on a big man, or get one in the draft.
Assuming we used the LLE on Lindsey, I'm ok with this. If we used the MLE, yeah I'll be pissed.
We'd have sign and trade pieces if Joe not been forced to give them away to save money.Quote:

look for alot of that. guys coming to detroit over LA or miami or anyone else? those days are over. its time to think piston TEAL again.
i have no idea why we sign a 34 year old to be our primary backup PG the next 2 seasons...just make him assistant manag now, we dont need Lindsey on the court anymoreQuote:

I am going to be so interested as to how the Pistons organization is going to spin that we can possibly have improved from last season by having Nazr instead of Ben. Joe, hope you got something up your ass, because if Boston lands AI, we are going to have some difficulty making the playoffs. I gotta assume that Chicago, Cleveland, Washington, and Miami are in. That is going to be a tight race with Boston, New Jersey, Milwaukee, indy, us, and yes, Orlando.
no, it actually fell already. i know you think the pistons losing ben only "stings alittle" and its "ok to be a good team". but ive seen that with the pistons, and it sucks. watching the guys we used to throw around beat the crap out of us is going to be horrible.
going back to not being able to sign a FA again is going to suck.
hearing chicago fans going nuts when the chicago PA system plays the big ben chime is really, really going to suck.
watching the pistons, who couldnt grab a rebound last year, is going to really suck.
