not worried about the cavs…this is a chemistry-experiment for them…there’s not many games left and they got 4 rotation/starter players. I like the Dixon signing, cuz you don’t know how stuckey and afflalo will react once the pressures is up in the playoffs. I hope the pistons sign dale davis as bigman nr.5 for defense and rebounding. I’m sure joe d has something up his sleeve.
go pistons!

DEEETROIT BASKETBALL!!!!!!!1 i hear ya

okay now this trade is making more sense, because now we added an experienced PG/SG and we will likely buy out Flip’s contract (thank Flip for the memories). But we will likely do that and then sign a big man, my problem is that will DD give us that energy boost!? and since this guy is older, would he be able to be in shape and give us the defensive boost.

This is another thing i was thinking. When i heard about the trade the Cavs did i first got really scared, and thought the Pistons were in trouble and in a possible playoff knockout. But i am listening to the radio and i have gathered all of my thought. THE PISTONS NEEDED THIS TO HAPPEN!! u know why because we have been sooo complacent in the recent years in the playoffs and now i think we can hit that ultimate level and i believe we are going to c the best of Sheed:D another thing i believe and pray the Pistons are going all the way is because OUR BenCH HAS beeN PLAYING REALLY WELL (well except the last 2 games). Also i just thought despite that the CAvs have Ben we got the length and athleticism in AMir who have been MONSTER in blocks, and we got Jason Maxiell who got hops, and we are also going to add another big. So think every Pistons fan should stop thinking about the bad of the Pistons and stop worrying about other teams, because just need to focus on the Pistons and focus on the beauty no how this team is built.
-We still got our core!
-We still got Sheed, who is haveing a great season! we still got C-BIllups who basically can punish every single point guard in the league (except Devin Harri )!
-We still got the Palace Princ, who sometimes is not in the grove but is DEADLY when he is!
-We still got the best mid-range shooter in the league! Mr.Rip Hamilton
-We still got 10+ rebound a night McDyess!
-We still got the rising Stuckey and his side kick AA Battery:D!
-We still got Hayes!
-And we still got Fabio plus our up and coming center samb

so fans WE GOTTA STAY FEARLESS!!!!!! WE GOTTA BELIEVE!!!!!!!!1 WE STILL GOT THIS UNBELIEVABLE TEAM and we COULDN’T TRADE ANYONE because everyone is important and they have something special!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i D@mn sure believe in this team and everyone is saying “WHY DIDN’T JOE DO SOMETHING!!!”. Well in order for us to get something we have to GIVE something….what could we have given up….???????????????? Another thing Joe D ISN’T DONE!!! i beleive Joe D is still not done. Even though the trade deadline is past…..*smiles* we can also sign someone in free-agency:D WE STILL HAVE HOPE AND WE ALWAYS HAD HOPE!!!!!!!!!

Another thing we have to notice is that Chauncey said that he has never felt this good since 2004!! Ladies and Gents we are now the UNDERDOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND I’M LOVING IT. I HAVE THIS WEARY FEELING MY STOMACH SINCE THE CAVS GOT BETTER!!! BUT I’M LOVING US BEING UNDER THE RADAR!!!!

Why is everyone dogging the Pistons !!! HOW WELL HAVE WE’VE BEEN DOING UNDER THE RADAR???????? We are doing great and everyone has to stay CALM and FEARLESS!!!!! Don’t give up on this team and Joe D. The starters are resting and the youngs are blossoming, and I’M LOVING THIS ‘LOOKS LIKE 2004 PISTONS TEAM’ PISTONS TEAM! DON’T look @ the other teams because we are acting scared. We can’t do that and we have to beleive and go by what we are seein on the court. We have urgency we are doing well despite the last 2 games. I believe and everyone should too

I’M NOT LOOKING @ CAVS, BOSTON, PHOENIX, DALLS, SAN ANTONIO, ETC.

I’M LOOKING @ OUR DETROIT PISTONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LET’S GO PISTONS AND LET’S GET THAT SHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2007-2008 IT’S OUR TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALL BOUT DETROIT BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is raelly unfortunate that Big Ben, my former hero and namesake of my favorite chicken at home, ended up in Cleveland. He left his heart in Detroit, and I don’t think being in Cleveland is going to go any better that Chicago did. Not only that, but in Detroit, he had a leadership role. Do you honestly think he can lead a team that has such a diva as Lebron on it? He is a role player now more than ever, and his words will mean less, despite his experience and championship ring. Kinda sad, really. Miss him…

One of the reasons chauncey struggled in the playoffs against the cavs was larry huges defense on him, he can eat up daniel gibson, wally, damon jones, and delonte west, I LOVE IT

If:

1. We really needed more “scoring off the bench” and to put less pressure on Stuckey to score, to quote McCosky’s blog.
2. We really didn’t feel that AA was going to get it done offensively.
3. We knew that Primo was not a viable option and was going to be out of the rotation.

Then why didn’t we give Primo the DND-CD (or the Darko, as I sometimes call it) and make him wear the suit every game (he still could’ve worn the headband and sleeves over the jacket haha), and dress Flip. I mean, I’m definately not one for second guessing Joe D, but why waive one offensively minded combo guard who already knows the system, the guys, and has been professional about the whole ordeal and trade for another offensively minded combo guard who will be force-fed the system in a short matter of time?? If we really needed more scoring off the bench, like McClosky said, then why weren’t playing Flip more?

If Joe D really feels this was the right move, then I’m all for it. But I just don’t see why Dixon will get minutes when Flip, a pretty similiar player who has had success in our system before, was unable to. For the record, I really saw no need for Flip (and now Dixon) to play. I have great confidence in AA and think he can get the job done. And, while it’s been somewhat streaky, our bench has been giving us a great boost offensively all year. I guess I just don’t see how Dixon brings anything to the party that Flip already had….

I also was slightly horrified by the notion that we were one injury (knock on wood) to one of our bigs away from having only 1 big man off the bench, until I heard the Dale Davis rumors. Anything that brings the big man back to the team is music to my ears haha. I saw we re-sign Elden Campbell while we’re at it!

richard to answeer your questions, the player must be a free agent or have not be playing, or have been waived, for example the pistons were able to sign webber last yr because the 76ers had wavid him… flip could now find a team if one would pick him up which I don;t see happening or I am sure joe would have traded him..
