We wouldn't be giving up an insurance big man unless there was a plan in the bag to replace him. Dale Davis is the obvious selection. He knows the players, the play book, and he has no goal except to win.
EDIT: Yeah, what Hobbs said. | Yes something is up otherwise this trade makes no sense whatsoever. Quote:
As it stands now, this trade doesn't make a lot of sense for Detroit. The Pistons don't have a lot of frontcourt depth to speak of, and they just traded away their only true backup center for an undersized combo guard to join a team that already has too many combo guards.
I suspect Joe Dumars has at least two more transactions in him that will probably be completed in the coming days.
There's no way Joe D. is going to go into the playoffs with five players - Chauncey, Stuckey, Flip, Lindsey and now Dixon - who can play both guard spots and no true backup center.
Safe money is on Flip Murray being waived, and Detroit using that roster spot to pick up a big man.
Knowing Joe D., he'll look to a familiar body to fill that spot. The only guy that makes sense, is Dale Davis. Detroit could go in another direction, of course, if a talented but underachieving big man (paging Jamaal Magliore) is waived.
