Hrmm which was odd, my comment received eaten. Anyway I planned to say that it’s nice to acknowledge that someone else also mentioned this because I had difficulty finding the exact info elsewhere. This was the primary consign that told me the answer. Thanks. – Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it.

I hope, for their sake Rip is moved this offseason.

Stuckey is not a true point guard…I think he’s closer to being a true poitn guard than Gordon, but not that much closer. Like last year, this team is really going to miss Chauncey

1. Rip will be moved this offseason.

2. “Piston starting point guard Rodney Stuckey is a poor-man’s version of Gordon.” is factually wrong. Ben Gordon is a SG whereas Stuckey is a PG. There’s no arguing the difference in types of game that suits each player.

3. “Detroit has always been a defensive-minded team” Unfortunately this year this has changed. They dropped to 8th in pts allowed/game this year after being in the top 3 for the previous 6 years. Joe D made this team less defensive-minded in 08-09 (with the Curry and AI signings). I’m simply arguing this isn’t the same Pistons team that has existed for most of the 21st century, much to my dismay.

4. Avery Johnson will improve this team. Especially if Rip and Sheed are moved.

Hey, they’re better than AI. I think we’ll have to wait and see what coach Joe goes with, to see how these guys will fit into the system

The more I think of these deals, the less I like them. Is there any way Detroit could just pick up Emeka Okafor? Hell why doesn’t Dumars just hire Jim Calhoun? Christ.

Yes, I was just going to say that these “bad boys” have been a blessing for the Bulls. As far as Hamilton, Forman should get on the phone right now to see if Dumars is interested in a Hamilton for Deng swap. I know he has the idea that he wants to start the three guards, but who knows what he’s thinking.
What we do know is that Dumars just handcuffed himself for five years.

Dumars sort of seems like he’s trying to fill the Isiah Thomas void here with these transactions
