doesn't matter. he's the most inconsistent player on that team. pistons basketball is all about hard work, and sheed only plays well when he is feeling it. I love his personality, but he has been hurting the pistons in the last few playoffs.

rumor has it that sheed and rip will be part of a deal with jason richardson and emeka okafor, and that we'll possibly either get rid of prince and billups to free up caproom for a future star (wade?) or we'll trade billups to miami, since they need a point guard, and select beasley.

these are all rumors though, but to me it looks like a big roster shakeup.

Roster wise, Detroit is in good hands. They still have their big 4 (and I highly doubt any of them want to leave) and McDyss is becoming better and better. Also, off the bench they have Maxiel, Dixon, Hayes, Hunter (Tho I have a feeling he'll retire), Ratliff and Stuckey

Coach wise they need someone who can slap some passion into them. My feeling is it will be Larry Brown.

McDyss is fucking ancient dude.

dyess isn't that great. he catches and shoots, so the quality of his play is decided by how much the defense decides to "cheat" on him and leave him open. guys like dyess aren't really worth a lot unless they can hit threes.
>> Anonymous
Needs some Rudy T. He's got rings, so the guys will respect him, and his personality is what an accomplished veteran team needs. Rudy will let them do their thing without being over-bearing but knows how to motivate. He's not coming out of retirement though.

Don't know a damn thing about Curry.
>> Anonymous
I felt our team was good enough to make it to the finals this year and last. But chances were blown. Sheed hasn't looked like himself the past couple of years and is getting old, McDyess is old, and as for Prince, although is a great defender and decent shooter, is dumb as a rock. Some changes are going to be made this offseason for sure, especially with Boston making themselves known and the West becoming greater than ever, with Saunders already being the first to go. I believe in Dumars though, he's a real smart guy and will know what to do to help Detroit.

I think Detroit is in a good situation now. With the emergence of Stuckey, Billups can be trade bait with his proven resume, Maxiel is a beast, and Amir Johnson has great potential. We'd be wise to make a trade package for good younger players.

agreed. if stuck works on his jumper this offseason, he is billups. I wouldn't mind him taking over next season.

yup, although I'd hate to see Billups go, since he's always been a fan favorite, he's at that point in his career where we can't be looking at the near future with him still on the roster, it would only hurt us, i.e. Mats Sundin with the Leafs

I thought the logic behind not choosing Melo or Bosh was how getting a star player could disrupt Detroit's selfless offense. Anyways firing Drip is way overdue, but without either a true center or a slasher I don't see Detroit getting the ring.

He also felt that Darko would eventually become a great player and help be part of the backbone of the Pistons future.

Boy did he get that wrong. I'm not sure if larry brown and his treatment of Darko had much to do with it or not.

Step 1: Draft Melo, Wade or Bosh

I don't think they'll trade off Tayshawn unless they can get something good for him, he's still pretty young andplays relatively well. Billups is probably tradebait, Sheed I wouldn't be surprised if he stayed or went, Rip is aging but still good, maybe trade him off or have him be a backup soon

YOU DON'T TAKE A FUCKING EUROPEAN PLAYER WITH A LOTTERY PICK

HOW HARD IS THAT FOR YOU FUCKS TO UNDERSTAND
>> Anonymous
>>133863
Let us examine the history of fail for European players taken high:

2001: Paul Gasol over Jason Richardson, Joe Johnson, or Richard Jefferson.
2002: Yao Ming at #1 with Amare Stoudamire and Carlos Boozer still on the board.
2003: Darko over anybody else at #2, some guy named Mikail Pietrius who is way worse than David West, Josh Howard and Luke Walton
2004: Luol Deng? Andris Biedrnis? Hahahahaha.
2005: Ever heard of Fran Vasquez? No.

Do you think any of these teams wouldn't trade back their shitty European player? They all suck, even the best ones are only decent and overhyped. You want to take a fucking risk on a 7 foot center with a perimeter shot from Yzkrkckryz, Shrsthrhvnzxycklkvz then do it in the 2nd round.
