Re: Juan Dixon acquired for Brezec

I heard a rumor that Joe D was talking to Bob Lanier last night about coming back to round out the front court.

I am dumbfounded that with all the salary dumps and fire sales going on throughout the L, that the best DET can come away with is Juan Dixon? Are they re-creating Noah's ark and I just don't know about it? They couldn't come up with a PG that might be able to get them into their offense with more than 15 seconds left on the shot clock maybe once a series? Do they think you have to use the full 8 seconds to get it over half court?

Dale Davis? He barely played when he was on the team! Now he's going to add something?

These Pistons are front-runners. Their offense is great as long as you allow them to get to their 2nd, 3rd and 4th options. Good teams take that away from them. They trap Billups and it is one pass and shoot a rushed shot against the clock. The players, coaches and now organization have shown zero ability to recognize and overcome this. I am not looking forward to what these teams are going to do against Stuckey.

I guess they'll just have to grind it out on O and win with their D. At least they're strong thin up front to go against the bigger teams and well stocked and versatile screwed against athletic wings.
