OGT Game 4 - Pistons beat Bucks, 109-99 (Mon 5/1)

Ben is fine. Nothing worry about. No big deal.

[FP22]

If in fact Ben is sparring with Flip (again), is anyone concerned in the slightest that this could be something that effects him re-signing with the Pistons this summer? I know, I know, the standard answer is "Big Ben is not going anywhere" but when there is "smoke" like this, the question should at least be asked.

I know that we are all pulling for the Bulls to knock out the Heat, but if that happens, does that make them a more attractive destination for a free agent like Ben? I'm inclined to say no, especially since I'm guessing that Peja's pretty much a lock there anyways. I don't think they have the cap room to afford adding two big salaries.

Why would the Bulls want Peja? Nocioni > Peja AND Deng > Peja. They already have 2 guys at his position that are younger and better. They'll be all after Ben, Gooden, Harrington, Nene, etc. Peja is at the very bottom of their team needs.

It has been known for about 3 years now that Peja's really interested in Chicago, mostly because of the large Greek and Serbian populations there.

Maybe the Bulls won't be interested, you're right, but they'll have the cap room if they are.

Nocioni certainly is improving in a hurry, so that may, in fact, change things.

About 3 years ago, Peja was still worth going after. IMO, he really lost a step over the last couple of years.

[Anthony]

In otherwords him and Mike Bibby to a certian extent aint shit without the Webber of old. His passing along with Vladdy's passing made Peja better than what he ever was.

That's true, but a team loking to add an outside shooter could do a lot worse (not saying that is what the Bulls need).

Fact: the Pacers are 2-0 in their series with NJ when Peja plays and 0-3 when he doesn't.

[Black Dynamite]

peja is a compliment player who needs a set up man. he'd get that in chi-town. but either way who cares about peja. he's a softy loser.

[Fool]

Peja is scheduled to do well in the playoffs next year. Its an odd year.

[Glenn]

Update:

Playoffs
Indy with Peja 2-0
Indy without Peja 0-4
