Yeah I kind of agree with lori, if anything I would expect guys like Max to be showcased more than benched if he were going to be traded. And if we do happen to make a trade it’s not going to happen til a lot closer to the trade deadline so Joe can see what he has. But to be honest I don’t see a trade a happening. Especially for Tayshaun, we pretty much have him and Austin Daye at the 3 if we trade tay then we have to play smallball and it will be clear Joe Dumars really isn’t concerned about defense anymore. So I really think we should stop with the trade talks. Let’s talk about the team more. We all have players we would love to see in a Pistons uniform but come on this trade talks can get a little distracting people

So that means that if a player doesn’t play, then he’s going to be traded? In that case, let’s get Rashard Lewis. C’mon! When is an injury just an injury? Rip got hurt on TV in front of the camera! Didn’t you see it?

Rip and Tay (who had over 400 consecutive games in a row) just happen to be injured too badly to play at all? Maxiel is the last big off of the bench? Come on fans! You can’t see a trade is imminent? It’s at least in the works. It might fall through but Joe is trying to unload these guys. No?

It all has begun when 2nd units first came out, 22points for Raptors’ bench. Then it was a foul every attack on Bosh or Wright or Jack. Everytime.
Daye had a nice start in the 4th, but then he took 2 shots that could turn the game, missed them and fouled on Bosh again. Wilcox – what the hell he is doing on the court?! 5 fouls in 10 mins, 3 desperation ugly horrible unprepared shots…he killed me.
CV…how can you say anything positive about a man who is a giant hole on the defensive end! When Wright took a ball right from his hands under our basket and made 2 points…it was ugly. You gotta be a man if you are PF 6′10 or what???

BG was our hope, well, all of our backcourt players were good, but BG was incredible, made shot after shot after shot to keep us in the game. Stuckey’s 1st Q was great, but his 3 fouls…he was sittin’ on a bench when 2nd unit of Raptors killed us. Bynum made some real needed buckets, but his turnovers, he lost it on the dribble 2 times without opponent’s help…

We, actually, were bad. And 3 quarters it was all Toronto. Maybe some positive flashes, but Detroit Pistons not even close to the level we want them to be yet, let’s be honest with ourselves

“this organization is not very fond of the idea of tanking the season for better draft picks, besides Joe really can’t draft…”

“What’s wrong with being the last in the east this year and get some top picks…”

Think about what you just said, man….

Willcox can’t play defense. He looked lost out there!!
It’s not about who’s the best player one the team, we won’t have money to add more pieces. And this organization is not very fund of the idea of tanking the season for better draft picks, besides Joe really can’t draft.

So lets trade Rip+Tayshuan for a some expiring salary, and go after those big names next year. What’s wrong with being the last in the east this year and get some top picks + plus free agent money.

What is rediculous is that the requested frontcourt help is within the grip of Kuester… Play Chris Wilcox and Maxiell! Bulk up Kwames minutes a bit, let the guys play! Wilcox can truly be effecitve in the right situation, and that ain’t about eleven minutes per game!

Something im thrilled to se though is Gordon and Stuckey facing up some bigger guard and see how they hold up!
