It sure does seem that we are all coming to the realization that we have no chance to advance out of the second round with each passing game.

I don't think Davidson will green light any trade that increases payroll. In fact, I think he may have told Dumars to do what you have to to get under it (Pistons are about 3 to 400,000 over).Quote:

I don't think Dumars will make another major deal. I think he wants to keep the flexibility that the Iverson deal gave him.
I really like Mola's idea:
Suns get Rip, Sheed, Afflalo
Pistons get Amare, Barbosa, Hill
Our rotation becomes
Stuckey/Barbosa/Bynum
AI/Barbosa
Prince/Hill (finally a legit backup for Prince)
Amare/Johnson/Maxiell
Kwame/McDyess
I'm not exactly sure how the big guys would pan out, probably depends on matchups if we put Amare at PF with Kwame or at C with Johnson.
Good looks. I actually started thinking nobody saw that and almost re-posted it.Quote:

This one works too:
Trade 2
I like this one better since I would hate to lose Afflalo, but I feel like a homer suggesting it.
What a bunch of shit.Quote:
"They are playing with no emotion," says a long-distance viewer. Allen Iverson "has killed the team's spirit with his style of play."
Quote:
Don't be surprised if Pistons president Joe Dumars trades A.I. before the Feb. 19 deadline, the same team executive e-mailed. "But only if he can get back a similar expiring contract."
Like the Knicks and Nets, the Pistons are all about accumulating mega cap space for the two upcoming classes of free agents. So hooked on economics is Dumars, an agent testifies, he was prepared to deal treasured Tayshaun Prince for Stephen Jackson (or maybe it was Ron Artest) whose contract was set to terminate after next season. When the Warriors committed to New Jack City for a three-year extension, Detroit's purported proposal came off the table.
"That's absolutely false! I'm not trading Prince, period," Dumars fumed.
Quote:
Here's what's true about the 24-18 Pistons. "We're definitely going through a transition and change," Dumars allowed. "We knew we had to eventually make some hard choices to be able move forward. We knew we would have some tough nights.
"But we like that we're set up to be good going forward."
personally i don't think the suns would have any interest in that deal. sure we would. but they wouldn't IMO. OK maybe amare has pissed them off lately but still- i think they can do better than that deal.Quote:

Barbosa comes in with the second unit with either Afflalo or Bynum, depending on matchups. I'd make that trade. I do agree with Highwarrior though, I don't think the Suns make that trade, they probably think they could get something better.
I'm somewhat ashamed to admit that for the first time, I starting thinking about Jeff Foster trade scenarios this morning.
I don't think :we: have a good match, contract-wise, for him, though.
Apparently, the Spurs really want him, too.
Some tool on RealCavsFans came up with Rip/Kwame for Wally/Snow...
