So long and thank you, Joe Dumars

We're at 0-5 and maybe looking at 0-10 or maybe worse. (Seriously, where does the first win come from)

How long do you guys expect Gores to stomach this? He's going to be looking at 2,000 people at The Palace.

I don't expect that Joe will be fired, but I do expect him to 'resign/retire' and state that he's satisfied that he's 'leaving the franchise in a great position moving forward'.

We're already talking about the lottery, but honestly, the real clock that Joe is on is almost out of time.

Be impactful.

This is the silliest in a long line of silly thread ideas.

Joe is going nowhere, even in a worst case scenario, until after the season.

Assuming Joe was to step aside I'd prefer it happen ASAP

A new GM can come in well in advance of the Draft and free agency... possibly make a big trade prior to the deadline with our expirings...

The other question that needs to be asked: How many losses until Frank gets the phone call?

4-20... 0-10? Throw in that 0-16 streak at New Jersey and it looks even worse... if that's possible!

I saw the subject of this post and went straight to ESPN news looking for the "Joe Dumars fired" article.

I'm Tahoe and I approve the OP's message!

What would be the downside of letting Joe go? Start losing? Won't sign good FAs when we have cap room?

Time for some new blood peeps.

[Kstat]

The downside is the team isn't owned by an 8 year old. If it was, then yeah firing everyone after 5 games might be a realistic possibility.

Ok, whether he should be or shouldn't be (he should be), this WILL be his last season.

I thought it was offish when I read the title, too.

[Kstat]

If the pistons finish the way they're starting, it probably wil be. But neither joe nor frank is going anywhere before then.

[Glenn]

I don't blame Larry Frank at all. Joe put a paper bag of burning shit on his porch, rang the doorbell and ran away.
