Pistons?

The Iverson trade seemed like a real franchise crippler for the Pistons. I’ve generally seen AI as cash and flash but no wins. They traded away a really strong player in Billups. If they are dumping a head coach over last year’s results then they deserve what will happen to them next year. Do they have some huge master plan in place? I don’t get it.

Curry wasn’t ready to be a head coach, especially not over a team of headcases. He lost control of that team really early. Keeping him was pointless.

The iverson trade was just a cash dump which would have been great because that team went as far as they could go… but then Dumar’s turned around and extended hamilton?? that made/makes no sense.

and you do have to remember, billups wasn’t the same billups he was in Denver. Like the rest of the team, he wasn’t giving 100%. Trading him back home really revitalized him.

I was thinking...

the exact opposite this morning. That team was no where near being able to compete with Orlando, Boston, Cleveland, even Atlanta for that matter. They cleared up a TON of cap space, threw away a season, gave the fans a little something with iverson, and now are in great position to get younger and more talented. It makes me sorta wish we had some plan like that to be honest.

Younger perhaps

But more talented? Not if their plan is to sign Gordon and Villanueva….

Yeah. At least its one less team in the Central that we have to worry about…. Looks like we will be guaranteed no worse than 3rd in the division for the next 5 years or so!

I know one thing though...

they werent getting more talented or younger with billups eating their cap the next 3-4 years. Not that Gordon and Villanueva is the best signing of all time, but at least theyre PUTTING THEMSELVES IN THE POSITION TO MAKE A MOVE. That was the beauty of the move. How they choose to operate with their freedom is the problem (and Indy’s, i guess).

well, as a pacer fan, I hope they sign both because they will be nothing but mediocre for the next 6 years

the billups trade, was great. these signings if it happens… not so much
