I agree. They should have 15 wins at this point. Inexcusable.
If this Rip->NJ trade happens, we are:
Stuckey/Bynum
Gordon/McGrady
Prince/Daye
Villanueva/Maxiell or Wilcox but should be Jerebko
Wallace/Monroe
That's pretty solid. We have options with Prince/Wilcox, our two summer of 2009 investments are starting, Stuckey and Gordon have their respective theoretical complements, Daye is in the rotation, etc. Once Jerebko's healthy, he should be getting substantial minutes.
My next move would be to get a more pure PG here as a backup, preferably a taller one.
I would try to move Maxiell/Bynum with our lotto pick for a stud PG or C.
After watching Derrick Rose last night, I don't think I'll ever advocate trading a lottery pick again. Especially if there's a chance that it's a top 5.
Really good read. "Stale" is a very good term for this team.
Check out the quotes from CV, Tay & TMac. SHITSTORM worthy, all.
Hamilton left waiting for awkward exit from Detroit : 01/11/11
nice article
That's kinda shit stormy.
All else being equal, we should be starting/giving more minutes to the guys that will be here next year.
There'll be no shortage of material for the local writers as the players all take turns making a case for playing time.

So what happens to Tay for calling Kuester a buffoon?
Jesus, this is a shitstorm.
n/m i found it lol
It was interesting listening to Kelser and Blaha talk about how many times over the past two seasons that the Pistons have gone into halftime with a lead only to get smoked at the beginning of the second half. They simply said that the Pistons need to figure that out. We all know that Keuster is just an incredibly poor coach, especially with halftime adjustments. Now, in so many words, it was at least put out there.
Think Rose might be doing some fancy orchestrating of teams and clients? Think Anthony will wind up in New Jersey if Hamilton doesn't? Think Dumars might want to alert Prince as to what's going on so he stops thinking it was Kuester's (perceived dumb) idea to sit Hamilton? "Tayshaun was informed," said a Compton, Calif., confidant. "He was taking a shot at his coach." New York Post

Pistons source said benching of Richard Hamilton was 100 percent the coach's decision. Had nothing to do with possible trade. #Pistons
Think someone should alert Kuester that we're trying to dump Rip and it's probably not a good idea to make him look bad right now?
Pretty much hate kuester. He just had the proper rotation too.
Stuckey/mcgrady/bynum
Gordon/Hamilton/stuckey
Prince/daye/hamilton
Villanueva/maxiell or wilcox
Wallace/Monroe/wilcox
With the backup pf the odd man out under normal circumstances.
I simply think Gordon and villanueva are paid too much to not start on a bad team. I want to see for more than a handful of games if the Stuckey/Gordon backcourt cam work. I would start mcgrady only if we were ready to commit to his role as a pg/point forward with the mle. And you may be right about Monroe.
Article on fucking realm says clippers considering prince for Kaman...
Clips can consider it all they want to, we can't take on the $.
That's why we get rid of maxiell in the process
Doesn't take a genius to think up Prince to the Clippers for Kaman.
Clips have some nice young pieces (don't they always?) and clearing Kaman's contract is a no brainer for a cheap ass owner like Sterling.
For us? Depends on the medical, right?
On the ownership issue: Did I actually see an article claiming Gores had 30 days to buy the team (when we were down)? Or did I dream that shit?
Gores has 30 days of exclusive negotiating rights. Which is probably down to about 2 weeks now.
I only know what the local dipshit beat reporters write. Once we get some national coverage on this, maybe the real story comes out.
But if I had to guess, I'd guess that the holdup is on the Davidson end. Buying distressed companies like PSE is how Gores made his billions, I would guess that he's pretty slick at negotiating at this level. Karen's probably being careful that he doesn't get the best of her.
Man if I ever had near enough money to own the pistons...
Srsly we need an owner that will balance the roster, pressure the coach, spend his money, and not trade young players for cap space.

Coach John Kuester's attempt at talking to Pistons guard Richard Hamilton went unheeded this weekend.
With good reason, according to Hamilton.
Hamilton, a key part of trade talks that were called off Wednesday, said the coach's attempt at using the team's head of security, Jerry Hendon, didn't help things.
“
Hamilton I felt offended that he sent Jerry instead of coming himself or sending an assistant coach. I could tell Jerry was uncomfortable and I said no.

"I felt offended that he sent Jerry instead of coming himself or sending an assistant coach," Hamilton told the Detroit Free Press on Sunday. "I could tell Jerry was uncomfortable and I said no."
I knew someone was going to miss that my post was linked, lol.
I didn't miss it. I already had the text in my cut and paste buffer before I saw your color=#000000 reply.
