The Denver Post is reporting the Joe Dumars has his eyes on Carmelo Anthony if you look at your ESPN ticker today you may see the same thing. Does Joe D. want to take a mulligan for the 2003 Draft?
We’ll soon find out.
If he does start working deals my guess is he’ll wait until after the draft to weigh his options.
It also looks like Pistons coaching job is leaning more and more toward Michael Curry. Terry Porter is now the new head coach of The Phoenix Suns.

-Farther Melo bashing where I usually talk about basketball online. No Pistons fans want him, lol.
Ryan: “Sheed + Tay = Boozer? Thoughts anyone?”
It’s a very interesting idea. I think I like it. Then we could make Amir Johnson our starting SF?
My only concern is that this trade would leave us a team full of power forwards, and no centers. Is your idea to play Boozer at center?
I wouldn’t do that for Boozer. I like the idea of getting him, but if we did that exact trade, the Pistons would probably have the worst defense in the league. Trading away 2 top 10 or 15 defenders for a guy who is undersized and below average defensively? However, I would love to get Boozer, but if we did, he would have to play PF, and we would have to keep Sheed, or we would get abused inside.
Hi Joe. You’re right that leaves us looking for a center. But of course tradings and deals shouldn’t stop with what I proposed. We still have assets we could swap for decent, if not above average, centers.
If I was to run the team, yeah, I would place boozer at center, but good thing I am not, LOL! If you’ve seen my second trade machine experiment, my line up would then be:
pg – billups
sg – rip
sf – kleiza
pf – maxiell
c – boozer
3 vets, 2 energy guys. boozer would command double teams which would free up either billups or kleiza for the three, or rip for the mid range, and maxiell for putbacks.
2nd unit
pg – stuckey
sg – afflalo
sf – hayes
pf – dyess
c – amir
2 vets, 2 hustle/energy guys, 1 legit scorer. this would be mostly drive and kick outs, stuckey driving hard to the lane, then scoring, or kicking out to hayes or dyess.
3rd unit
pg – atkins
sg – dixon
sf – harpring
pf – herrmann
c – ratliff
I know the previous pistons are far better than this, but in a so-called ‘weak’ east, we could survive with this at the very least.
I’m out! Rock on Detroit! Peace to all my kababayans there!
I dont care much for this trade..I dont think it solves much but I do believe that Carmelo’s attitude & work ethics can change once he is surrounded by supportive teamates which he would have if he was to come to Detroit.. I know that a lot of people feel that Rasheed has changed once he came to Detroit (well minus the techs & running his mouth every once in a while) =)
