Re: WDFN 1130AM Joe Dumars Interview June 11 2007

Dumars is great. I was just about to pull a Low and say I'm outta here and now I'm eager to see Detroits offseason moves and see the changes in attitude (will it really happen?).

I want to see that top 4 logjam swept out of here. Lets bring a full team.

Joe is making me believe that this team will remain championship-caliber.
As obvious as Joes statements were, it was a rather strong tone for him. One I too am pleased to hear.

Joe D is the new Tony Sopranos, no bull from now on.

Sometimes those mid-season changes put a team on the right path, like acquiring a player like Rasheed Wallace. I agree that it would be risky to run Flip at the All-Star break but if Dumars figures he's got nothing to lose and Old Man Davidson OKs it ... well

I'm not sure Joe is the coaching type. I can't imagine him getting in Rasheed's face. Laimbeer, now that's another matter entirely.

Sheed respects Joe. IMO Sheed doesn't respect Flip partly because Flip never gets in anyone's face directly...instead, Flip plays mind games by sitting people to show em who's boss. That approach pissed Ben off. As vocal a guy as Sheed is, wearing his emotions for all to see, I'm sure that approach is really pissing him off.

He wouldn't do it during the game, but in the office Joe would show him who's the boss.

Agree. Maybe Joe was just saying the stuff that had to be said, but at least he's saying it. A couple of weeks ago I listened to a speech from the CEO of a major supermarket chain and by the end he could have used a basket to hold all the resumes from people who wanted to work for him. I kind of felt the same way after hearing this - I'd work for the guy.

Been traveling for a fews days and out of touch but was finally able to listen to this on the airplane via PF and iPod. Thanks for putting it up. Technology is grand.
