Without knowing anything of this situation, I feel like some players must be shipped out this year so the rest get back into line. A nice comfy amount of leeway has grown into something creepy.

Was Blakely actually at the meeting or was he just sitting in the parking lot to see who comes and goes? Did he even talk to any of the Pistons? Pretty weak blog, in my opinion.

mLive has agents all over the field.

Please read Blakely's Today's MLive Blog. Some pretty interesting things being said, namely;

Flip only meeting a few minutes with the team - unusual circumstances according to Blakely who has covered many of these meetings.

Things that make you wanna go Ummmmm:

Terry Porter's comments......Joe knows that Porter is the front runner for the Sactown job. Will Joe try to hold on to him at any cost?????

Rip not showing up for the last meeting even though it wasn't mandatory, he is still a co-captain.

Absence of Web and Rip was also reported at Pistons.com:
PISTONS: Splitting Up (?)

what does Tay have to say??

The stink of losing drove Flip, Rip and Webber away. Can't imagine Flip or Rip being able to sit still long enough for a meeting anyway.

lol @ Rip running around in circles and Flip doing his herky jerky thing in a chair.

Sounds like an institution I visited once.

Has anyone read up on the Heat or what dallas is doing?? Shaq being traded?? Dirk not getting MVP?? What about Chicago?? Get Pau Gasol?? And don't forget the Suns. Amare's not happy anymore and wants to be traded?? MArion is leaving?? Evreyone has a story and that is great, but the real fans know that these media types are just trying top keep their jobs, along with Stern. We know this guy is just stringing us along cuz he ain't got ish else to do.

He was too busy cringing and running away.

McCosky was unable to run alongside Tay long enough to do an interview.
