Pistons sign Flip Murray (old thread)

We should have brought Delk back instead of Lindsey if we were going this route. Now our bench is filled with a bunch of guys who can't shoot for shit. You need a couple guys who can shoot to open up the driving lanes.

You're right. After 20 minutes on the floor, he starts snorting cocaine on the scorer's table and begins spontaniously combusting.

because every team he's played on has been glad to see him go. he's well known for his horrible shot selections, being a black hole, and not playing D.

not saying he wont be a boost, but there are going to be plenty of times where you'll want him off the court.

Please tell me you didn't just imply that this team needs MORE jump-shooters...LMAO

I wish Gutz was here, for once.

Like they need another shooter.

What'd I tell ya (gleaming with pride like he just won the fucking lottery).

Flip just wants another "Flip" around, so he can point a finger when the media slams a "Flip" for all of the pistons troubles.

You mean like the Sonics.....and the cavs....and the sonics...and the cavs...?

Every team chauncey played for before us was happy to see him go too.

The Wizards threw a party when they got stack for Rip.

i agree 100%. in fact, the only guys who seem to do well in spot minutes are the "lesser talented" energy players. guys like Mo Evans who come and just crash the offensive board and spot up for threes. nothing wrong with that of course, but i (along w/ b-diddy and others) think that Delfino's impact in made when he's allowed to get into a rhythm and study what's happening on the floor. that's when he'll get an important steal, the pass that leads to an assist, or make a solid defensive play to prevent a score. i'd really like to see Flip and Delfino compliment each others' games.

Actually, no.

According to b-diddy, you can't talk about what kind of player delfino is, because he has yet to play 30 MPG.

yeah, we can easily remedy that by mixing in guys like Rip and Chauncey (shooters) w/ the bench. we don't need all 5 bench guys out at once.

i guess i took b-diddy's statement one step further. i still believe what i wrote, though.
