Maybe, but you do need valuable contributions from the position and it was very clear to all that Nazr wasn't providing a fraction of the contribution that a "declining"
malcontent was. As Abe stated if Nazr is only worse than about 30 of the PF/Cs in the league then that's every team in the league including us that has a C better than Nazr. I think that leaves some room for a replacement strategy.
If Abe feels Nazr was the
"best choice" at the time, then the Pistons should have made
NO CHOICE instead of giving this bum $30 Mil.
