Interesting that Petro's only 24 turning 25. I feel like I've seen his name around forever.

Being widely reported that we'll get a NJ 2nd rounder for taking Petro.

Nice blog post, Herms. You going to the big PISTONS SOCIAL MEDIA NIGHT?

[lospistones]

I really can't believe that Petro's salary is a sticking point.
We've paid Elden Campbell, Kwame Brown, Chris Wilcox, Jason Maxiell, etc. more money...

Still wonder who else we need to send out to get the salaries even. I hope it's not Wilcox but Maxiell or Bynum instead.

If I did this right, the salaries are fine. The Pistons just can't have 16 players on their "new" roster.

I'd love it if there was a way to stick Stuckey in there and get Devin Harris back.

I'd rather find a way to dump Maxiell and/or Bynum into the mix.
