Hill didn't screw Dumars. Hill brought us back Chucky and Big Ben. Look what would have happened if we'd resigned him. A lifetime of a bad contract and a guy that couldn't have played.
We would've likely gotten Ben and perhaps Chucky -- it wasn't an "either/or" situation. Ben was a FA that Dumars was intent on signing for the MLE, and I I doubt anyone else was gonna go -over- the MLE for him. The S+T situation enabled us to pay them both closer to what they turned out to be worth.Originally Posted by Zekyl
Yeah, Grant's injury and Ben+Chucky's success ultimately stuck it to the Tragic moreso than us, but that was karma and luck, not by design. "Gee, you tried to stab me in the back but you missed. Let's kiss and make up."

That theory would be viable if Grant didn't keep bashing the Pistons organization about his ankle injury anytime someone asks about it.
Find a new slant.
Webber was a different story. Sacto would've paid him more than we would have, and he took the money. Grant Hill left despite our offering him as much as anyone. Then there was Allan Houston, who left without even giving us some chance to match. Those were some fucked-up times.
HIll blatantly lied to Joe about his return then left him hanging. He screwed him and our team, we just happened to catch a lucky break. Screw Grant.
Well, Webber used the Pistons to drive up his pricetag, knowing fully that he wasn't signing here.
It's deception/lying anyway that you look at it, and it's all business.
I'd welcome Grant back, especially since he'd help and it would be a minor admission that he fucked up leaving in the first place.

Your wife washed your shirts on hot, they shrank, she says she doesn't know why.
Your wife fucks a dude, and lies about where she was.
Hey, it's all lying.
