Pistons: Is This Rasheed's Last Season in Detroit?

Constructing an NBA roster within the constraints of the salary cap and luxury tax can be difficult, so improving a roster already saddled with a couple of expensive contracts is oftentimes seemingly impossible. That's why expiring contracts are so valuable on the trade market - they allow general managers a chance to take a mulligan on a long-term deal that no longer fits into the big picture, freeing up precious salary cap room to make other moves.
Good point, next year, this time, Sheed will be an expiring contract...

One false move these coaches may be gone
Charley Rosen

Flip Saunders, Detroit
As the last memories of the Pistons' championship season rapidly fade, Saunders is caught in the twilight zone. The team's once-feared defense has turned into an apparition. And in an attempt to put his own brand on this team, Saunders has all but abandoned the successful offensive schemes of Larry Brown in favor of installing a series of adventures in isolation basketball.

So far, no good.

Unless Detroit starts the season in high-gear, and unless the Flipster can engineer a return to glory, Saunders will regret not executing a full-court press to obtain the coaching position at his alma mater, the University of Minnesota.
LOL

Out of that list Flip S. seems the most vulnerable, no joke. If it's not him it's Rivers. If the Pistons start bad do you think he could get fired?

Re: Articles worth mentioning
This is totally un-Pistons related, but it is an interesting article anyway and it answers a question that I've had for a while.

Because most of Human history has been comprised of small tribes of people sparsely populated and now we have 6 Billion people on Earth, I've been wondering whethere there are more living people than dead people. This article puts the question to rest... so to speak.

About the population growing...we are so stupid. Oil is going to run out, and we all know it. We just keep going on like nothing is going to happen though. The population keeps growing too, so the rate will only increase. People will only do something after it reaches 10.00 a gallon.

I'm more concerned with the price and availability of water.

Re: Articles worth mentioning
When the price of oil gets too high, alternate fuels could begin to become financially feasible to explore. Once procurement, refinement, etc have been perfected, those might become more heavily used. The reason that environmental groups are still whining because not much is being done with alternate energy sources is because it's still way more expensive to develop than it is to find more oil. And I don't really believe we are in such dire straits with oil running out. Just call it a distrust of left-wing ideology. I see the whole motive behind spreading fear about the environment as a way to sucker us into tax programs.

Here's to the spread of nuclear power in the US - clean, safe, cheap, efficient!
