BRANDON KNIGHT!

ANOTHER GUARD ??? WHAT June 23, 2011 at 8:24 pm: There has to be a trade in the works….. RIGHT

Reply
Drew June 23, 2011 at 8:25 pm: He’s not even a true PG, they say. I thought we’re still trying to mold our combo guard into a PG. Smh.

well i guess joe d liked stuckey at sg more than i did, unless he puts knight at sg. i think stuckey is by far a better pg than knight. i hope im wrong cuase i dont want this to be a wasted pick hopefully knight and stuckey play great together. CYA RIP.

Drew June 23, 2011 at 8:37 pm: How about Knight come off the bench cuz he’s only 19 or 20? Or trade his crybaby ass to somewhere else. I don’t care.

shoulda took markieff

Drew June 23, 2011 at 8:35 pm: Exactly my thoughts! Although his brother is more rounded, Markieff was better for our needs.

Jake June 23, 2011 at 8:44 pm

I’m a die hard uk fan and a die hard piston fan so u can see why I’m excited

junior June 23, 2011 at 8:46 pm: yeah but i still think stuckey is a better pg than knight.

Maybe Joe D is trying to mold a new Isiah Thomas/Joe Dumars 2.0 version…. who knows…… Like previously mentioned, a trade may be in the works. Time will tell.

Chad June 23, 2011 at 8:49 pm

Joe needs to realize that what worked in 1988 does not work in modern times – a team of hard workers will never beat a team of superstars.. The NBA seriously needs to contract.. Every year 80% of the teams have no chance.

MT June 23, 2011 at 9:02 pm

Times change, that is true. But I don’t agree with your comment. Not even 80%. Don’t forget the 2004 Pistons they did beat the Lakers. Let’s not forget the 3 headed monster that got beheaded by the Mavs. The Mavs do have great team players with Nowitzki being thier superstar. When the start of the season came around did you even think the mavs would get passed the 2nd round of the playoffs… let alone win the championship. I don’t think so… David Stern needs to contract…. He’s making the NBA look like the WWE…. Creating Hero’s and Villains what kind of S@#t is that?

Chad June 23, 2011 at 10:22 pm

I saw the mavs as another version of the heat/celtics/lakers – Kidd, dirk, Marion, Chandler, Terry..

MT June 23, 2011 at 11:45 pm

Kid is a shell of his former self. He will go down as a superstar but in no way did he perform like one this finals. A Decent guard at best. Dirk Yes, Marion and Chandler considered superstars? what are you smoking? You are going to compare them to the likes of Lebron, Wade, Peirce, Garnett and Kobe. Next thing you’ll tell me is Iverson is the best point guard ever…. Take your crack pipe and smoke it somewhere else…..

Chad June 24, 2011 at 4:47 am: Well.. I was right, wasn’t I? I wasn’t comparing Marion to Kobe, keep twisting my words to suit your argument.

EDT where are you?

Jake June 23, 2011 at 8:48 pm

I doNt like stuckey

Drew June 23, 2011 at 8:52 pm: Doesn’t matter. Don’t expect Knight to come in and supplant him anytime soon.

yeah i know i left out maxiell rip whitetmac prince and. . .anyone else? they are not important trade them get what u can and move forward with this young fast core.

Drew June 23, 2011 at 8:56 pm

1 through 5: Stuckey, Daye, Jerebko, Monroe, M. Gasol. (I can hope, right? We do have $11 mil to spend.) Backups: Bynum, Gordon, Knight, Summers, Villanueva, Maxiell, Wallace. There’s 12 right there, with room for two more draft picks.

Detroit89 June 23, 2011 at 9:06 pm

thats a terrible lineup. Daye is not a guard, one. I have no idea why you think Daye would be made into SG before Gordon, bynum or Knight.

- Stuckey / Bynum
- Knight / Gordon
- Daye / Maxiell
- Jerebko / Villanueva
- Monroe / Wallace

Drew June 23, 2011 at 9:22 pm: Daye plays like a guard and think back to the New York game where he played 2-guard and all the problems he caused them for a Detroit win.
