The Pistons have very very few chemistry problems among the players and that is by design. I can't recall the last time a Pistons player other than Darko who is now gone, have had a run in with the law....
Yes, the Pistons want to win, but not at the risk of messing up the organization chemistry and having their players names on the sports pages for run ins with the law and/or not fitting in, in the locker room.
In that regard we are very similar to the Colts organization.  |
I think the problem has less to do with chemistry, and more to do with a seniority mentality. Detroit (Dumars and the coaches) don't want players to earn their PT, they want them to wait their turn. Which is why you will never see a rookie develop on this team. JMax only got PT because Ben left, and Nazr absolutely stinks.
Amir is sitting the pine, and I won't be surprised if he's begging for a trade at the end of the season. Stuckey will get his 10 mpg, but 3 years from now, after still getting his 10 mpg and playing behind Derick Fisher (a steal from the waivers after Lindsey retires in 2010), I wouldn't be surprised if he's demanding a trade.
