I know most of you are scratching your heads at the signing of Kwame Brown. Pistons fans have been waiting for a blockbuster deal that just hasn’t happened….yet that is. This waiting game, draft day and signing of the other Kwame got me playing the “what if” game.

Now I go the positive route in the “what if” game and look back at our 2004 championship. So what if Dumars wouldn’t have drafted Darko? Would we have picked up Sheed and a Championship? Nobody really knows, but i makes you look on the brighter side of things for a moment.

Little did I know that after playing my own game of “what if”, I had footage of a piece Eli Zaret did for the Pistons on all the “what ifs” from the past that ran earlier this year. There are a ton of blasts from the past that you may have forgotten about. It all put things into perspective for me in realizing how many things go wrong and go right in building a team like The Pistons have been over the years.

Remembering the past always helps when dealing with the future. Doesn’t it?
