Good luck Arron, give Chauncey our best.

As the cleaning of house keeps rolling something tells me a big deal is on the horizon.

Most of you, including myself, aren’t very happy with the prospect of Glen “Big Baby” Davis donning a Pistons uni, but the chances of it just went up.  We wait again…. in what has turned out to be one of the craziest offseasons I can remember.

Well as far as BG and CV31 goes they can’t be traded til December or later (a la free agency deals) so they can placed up.

It’s probably better that Kwame doesn’t try to play offense, unless he gets the ball deep in the paint. For real, every time he gets the ball, I get nervous.

I think that Joe D envisions him as the next Ben Wallace…and that’s why he’s putting so much trust in him right now.

I wonder if Ben Wallace would be an option since the suns bought him out? I know he’s not a spring chicken any longer.

o.k. 6’10″, but he is a legit backup center in my mind. You’re not really going to get much with just 3.2 million in cap space.

I hate Ben Wallace with all my heart since he left for more money. But I could Forgive him if he signs like a 10 day contract and retires as a piston. What do you guys think?? Do you think its a good idea??

No. Why waste any money on him. Anyways Cv is 86 followers ahead of Chris bosh. I wonder if 3000 Cv followers can just make a new account and follow him again. But I dont know if that is against Twitter policy. Can someone Plz. tell me.

Great a bunch of arm chair GMs… I guess these are the same folks who didn’t want a well traveled, unproven point guard (Chauncey), a non-descript undersized center (Big Ben), a mercurial, unstable PF (Sheed), a wiry, questioned SF (Tay), and a relatively young SG (Rip) for Stackhouse more than half a decade ago. I wonder how these moves turned out for the organization??

Actually they were talking about him starting in DEN… which would be even better for him

It’s not fair to criticize the hiring of Keusner when he hasn’t coached a single game yet. When asked what we could expect fro his coaching style the first thing John said was that any team looking to contend for a championship has to be able to defend.

Ummm Rip’s strength is playing off the ball.

If you think that Glen Davis is in any way better than Rasheed Wallace you’re either ignorant or crazy.

Big Baby won’t look good in any uniform.

Richie July 17, 2009 at 5:15 pm

Davis can’t play center and better than our draft picks can. He’s undersized at PF.
