Corliss??

Yes Corliss. Corliss started getting quite a bit of run with Sactown toward the end of the season. He is still a brute inside, which is exactly what we need. Last time he was on our roster, we won it all. So why not.

wouldn't mind him returning to detroit at all...... but how do you plan on this happening is he a free agent or think they'll be suckered into taking some of our trash?

Stuckey and Afflalo need regular playing time to develop their games. Corliss is old, we're trying to get younger. Playing Corliss means taking time away from the kids' development. And how much would he help anyway? He made $6.5 mil last year and probably looking for the same. He's seeking a 3-year deal. He's 33.

way to much cash for what he adds.... 1 million nice safty net but that much nice... thanks for the memorys

We have the MLE available, with no plans to use it otherwise. I do like the idea of Mejia playing some small forward, but Corliss can add much needed scoring punch. People tend to forget, it was when Corliss became the chief guy coming in to rest Tay, after a disastrous game five vs. NJ, that we went on to slaughter everybody the rest of the way. Corliss has not changed much since. Nobody has chosen to use him much. Not much more wear and tear from the time he left.

Yes but Carlisle was the only coach who knew how to use him. Think Flip would know what to do with him? I don't know.

Oh no I would not mind him coming back, but I thought you were thinking that he was back on this team.

I think Maxiell will be the new Corliss. What does this team need off the bench now?

A point on these rotations. Some people think we will start Mohammed at center. And some people think that neither Amir nor Maxiell can play small forward. Lets look at that a bit closer. Dyess has decided to stay. So lets say we start Sheed, Mohammed, and Tay up front. Saunders has a pretty strong history of just playing basically a three man rotation with his bigs, and you know he would want to be bringing Dyess in for the bulk of the minutes behind Sheed and Mohammed.

This scenario pretty much shuts out playing time for Amir and Jason. This scenario just will not happen. Amir and Jason will play a lot, and they will play a lot together, as a pair of forwards. Depending on the matchups, either one could end up guarding anywhere from the center to the small forward when paired up like this. (and of course depending on who the 3rd big is out there.) So in sum, yes, Tay will get more rest, regardless of which player between our two young forwards you might think is playing small forward, and two, there is no room for Mohammed in the rotation.

I think Webber starts at center or Sheed starts at center. If Sheed starts at center either J Max or Dice is the starting PF

I want Amir to play the 3 because with Dice, J Max, Amir, and Sheed their is not enough time to play these guys enough minutes.

J Max is shorter than Rip he can play the 3 along with Amir, so the Pistons can play Maxiell Dice and Amir a good amount of minutes.
