The Official Detroit Pistons Thread

[zjcvols]

I know it's been a bad few years, but Dumars has really hit on the draft with Knight and Monroe, and Drummond has all star potential.

Any other Pistons fans?

I pull for them, Ben Wallace used to be my fav player back when he was in his prime, but I still pull for him and im a Gonzaga fan so I want to see Austin Daye do well too.

Apparently Detroit isn't going to do anything in free agency.

Talks of trading Tayshaun.

So, Andre Drummond has been flat out good in the preseason.

Just a fantastic video for a lot of reasons:

Looks exciting, too bad we'll never get to see him on tv

Detroit Pistons 2012-2013 opening night player introductions - Detroit Bad Boys

Pretty cool

[zjcvols]

Boom! First win last night!

Monroe was beastly.

Kyle Singler looks like a good NBA player.

I pull for the Pistons (after the Grizz of course) was a huge Piston fan back in the day. I still faintly recall the Bad Boys days.

The Bad Boys. Those were the days (or so my dad says).

I remember the 2004 Pistons destroying the Lakers.

I miss those days.

Drummond should get more minutes. He's played really well in his limited time. See if he can keep it up.

Nope. Got to give Jason Maxiell 30 minutes a game.

Fail.

[n_huffhines]

Maxiell has actually played pretty well this year, but he likely won't sustain this pace. Prince hasn't been the same player he once was the last few years. They should be able to find 15 minutes between those two to give to Drummond.

Oh yeah, I was quite ecstatic. So was my pops. Billiups and Rip were quite the duo. Then you had the law firm of Wallace and Wallace. Good ole Tayshaun. Lindsey Hunter was a terrific defender and could hit the open 3 under the right circumstances. Had Okur coming off the bench. On a side note, I seen where he retired the other day. He carved out a really nice career.

Okur was just one of those guys Joe D found, ended up in good circumstances (the pick and pop with D-Will) and had a nice career.

I would love to have his career. Play ten years, make good money, don't have to deal with superstar BS or busted pick BS. Just a solid player.

For four years in Utah (his prime) he gave you 16.8 ppg/8.0 RPG and shot 46.3/38.7/78.9 while playing solid D.

If I was the Heat, I'd offer him a Vet minimum. They could use him.
