- Michael Curry and Rip Hamilton beef.
- Resigning Antonio McDyess may be difficult. Personally I would like Dyess to go to a contender and get his Ice. If he’s not a stand up guy who gave his all to do what he had to do to win, I don’t know who is.
- George Blaha on the Pistons retooling.
- Free Press Draft Grades.
- The Magic among the many that want Sheed.
- Daye care.
- Former Pistons playground up for auction.
- Need4Sheed Mock GM league at PASPN ready for players…and as always I’m giving away a T-Shirt to the winner.
- Daye may help but more depth is needed.
- 18 to 20 million in cap room could help Dumars land a quality FA.
- Austin Daye YoTube Videos and some from the Pistons second round pick Jonas Jerebko.
- If you still aren’t following me via Twitter, you should be…I’m pretty quick on the Tweet.

Sheed playing for the Magic? How will they swing that financially? They’re already flirting with the luxury tax as it is…
I think Sheed to SA would be even more scary. Or what about Sheed to Cleveland?
June 29, 2009 at 10:30 am
Hahaha,imagine that frontcourt: Shaq & Sheed!
June 29, 2009 at 12:05 pm
For our sake, I want Sheed to go to Magic. He will be happy shooting 3s and it’s one more obstacle for the Cavs to get to the final; on more reason he will not resign.
Lets just hope we don’t waste money on boozer…
We should just tank the next season for a top5 pick. Many be that’s why JoeD left Curry (God I hope thats the only reason)
June 29, 2009 at 12:12 pm
By ‘he’ ,I meant LB from Cavs.
June 29, 2009 at 1:10 pm
Yelling at the coach and then cutting him off completely is really not what I’m looking for in a locker room leader, and team captain. I also don’t think that Curry falling on the sword is the answer either. As much as I dislike Curry (and I really, really do) this problem is squarely Rips fault, and if can’t man up to it, there is a whole league of players looking to take his place. I mean, what do the Pistons have to lose, they are already rebuilding, what’s one more spot?

The fact that Hamilton and Curry didn’t get along was pretty well known at the end of the season. The real question is why these stories are reappearing now. A few possibilities:
1) JD wants to trade Hamilton, is floating these stories to lessen fan reaction when they trade away their top scorer.
2) Rip’s agent thinks Detroit is serious about signing Ben Gordon, and is revisiting the Iverson experience to convince JD to either not go after Gordon or to trade Rip.
Thoughts?
June 29, 2009 at 2:08 pm
thank you curry for playing rodney fucking stuckey over rip hamilton..
ai
rip
tay
sheed
kwame
we would be singing an entirely different tune right now.
June 29, 2009 at 3:08 pm
One of them has to go…..I would prefer Curry but since thats JD butt buddy, I seriously doubt it
June 29, 2009 at 7:52 pm
how will either cleveland or san antonio swing that financially? granted sheeds worth has went down but after jefferson to the spurs and shaq to the cavs…how?
June 29, 2009 at 7:55 pm
get rid of rip… your crazy! allmost as stupid of getting rid of chauncey
June 29, 2009 at 8:03 pm
curry should have been gone midway through this past season. butt buddies or not joey d is in it to win it lets not foreget who got the pistons to the eastern conf. finals 6 yrs in a row,that wasn’t larry brown,flip saunders it was the man joe dumars putting that group of guys together!
June 29, 2009 at 9:00 pm
I would like to see sheed in a pistons uniform this coming season with a smaller role, less minutes but just as effective.. give him a 2yr contract n offer him a coaching position..Stay in the D n we’ll get that ship right back
June 29, 2009 at 10:02 pm
Now that Charlie V is a FA, I see our lineup already:
Stuck/Bynum
Rip/AA/Washington
Tay/Daye/Jerebko
CV/Maxiell/Summers
Okur/KBrown
Maybe not a championship contender, but
exciting nonetheless.
June 29, 2009 at 11:10 pm
r u stupid or ignorant? he tried that lineup, it didnt work ai and rip both needed the ball all the time . it didnt work cause there is only 1 ball remember?
June 29, 2009 at 11:11 pm
exactly, now all the haters. stfu
June 29, 2009 at 11:13 pm
hey u forgot walter sharpe, and i do really like okur but if we cant get him i would also love to c tyson chandler up in the front court
June 29, 2009 at 11:15 pm
i done with rip, after his cryin last year, o and all the shots he missed. get him outta here trade him for tyson chandler. and start bynum at pg stuck at sg. or stuck at pg and start afflalo at sg
June 29, 2009 at 11:16 pm
he will be gone before the end of the season. deal with it
June 29, 2009 at 11:19 pm
my ONLY worry about losing sheed is who is going to guard shaq and d howard? kwame? right now hes the only center we have! sheed could always play those two straight up, thats y we could always beat the magic! im really worried joe u better get okur or chandler in here.
June 29, 2009 at 11:20 pm
ditto, but maybe just 1 yr. and he come off bench, no 3 pointers either. o wait that could never happen so he will be gone.
June 30, 2009 at 12:17 am
You know id like to see,
Stuck/Bynum
Rip/AA/Washington
Tay(or someone else?)/Daye/Jerebko
Amare/Maxiell/Summers
Chandler/KBrown
June 30, 2009 at 1:39 am
how do you get Amare and Chandler if you don’t give up anything? like the lineup though.
June 30, 2009 at 2:48 am
I think there is something to what your saying. IMO Dumars is riding the wrong horse, in stuckey. He is good but I don’t see near the potential in him of which Dumars and all the homers speak.
June 30, 2009 at 6:44 am
the Bucks didn’t make an offer to Villanueva, we should go after him for a good price, he’d fit in nice
June 30, 2009 at 8:13 am
I am glad Sheed will not be in a Pistons uniform ever again. Thanks Joe!
June 30, 2009 at 11:48 am
We are not playing for anything next season!!!
