I love the kids who are allowed to suck for less than $1 million a year at Bad Boy Summer Camp.

I don't feel the need to jock ride a 41st pick whose best season came chucking for a 37-45 team.

Let me ask you, with all of your keen insight, do you feel that Joe has made the necessary moves to establish an elite 8, and improve this team for a rematch with the Heat? Has this been a successful offseason for the Pistons? Did they achieve their goals?

Wesley can play the 1 as well. He's a combo guard.

That means the chance of Banks going to Cle is now that much more unlikely...

Come on Joe, get Banks!!

how?

We can only get Banks for a minimum contract. All of our exception money has been spent.

They signed him to play PG, not SG.

Keep swinging though, eventually you're bound to hit something by accident.

Wesley was the starting SG next to Baron Davis in Charlotte. They have 2 PGs in Eric Snow and Damon Jones.

I will laugh my ass off if Banks ends up settling for half the MLE. Not to mention the whole Butler thing. It could end up where we could have had both of them for the MLE and still had the BAE left over. THEN I could deal with signing Flip Murray. I just don't see the bench working out as is. The pieces don't fit.

This sucks, and I'm starting to think it was a case of beginners luck with Joe.

Snow, Jones, and Wesley......maybe Flip Murray was just too young for them, lol.

We could trade DD and Delfino and the Det pick, but I find it doubtful because they have enough guards...However, they do need a center.

I thought we were already an elite 8 team, but then again I'm not standing on the ledge like the rest of you.

And If you think we could have done any more with the BAE, feel free to show us.

Murray isn't the final piece, but he makes this team a little better than it was without him.

There's nothing keeping Joe from going out and trying to make trades to improve this team further. Free agency was NEVER going to be our path to ring #4.

I'm satisfied with Mohammed and Flip, considering what we had to spend.
