Joe's MO is to move unhappy players. Since he feels like he has to move Murray, then he needed a little insurance at the guard position.

The odds are that this will have zero bearing on anything.

Blakely hates Amir.

I think since AJ has been with the Pistons he has written one neutral article about him. Most of the time he ignores him in his rantings and ravings. This is no exception.

I think any time you've got a chance to add an undersized guy who doesn't have a position you have to do it.

What in the world is Cleveland thinking by adding depth and size up front and good shooters on the wings to one of the leagues best players? I got to be honest, I wasn't sure DET could beat CLE in the playoffs prior to this trade. Now?

I watched him the two years he was here in D.C. (his best year), the guy is seriously tough, check out his life story if you get a chance.

On the right team, Juan is gold.

He can split and break down defenses and is not afraid to take it to the rack.

The guy can flat out ball, undersized, but you put Juan on the floor with some champioship caliber vets, this guy will become a fan favorite, remember you heard it here.

I agree here.

Dixon is one tough player. He just needs to find the right team to fit with. He is not afraid to do the little things like dive for loose balls, play defense, and he will take the big shot, and hit it!

I just don`t know if this current Piston squad is that right fit for him. But the guy can play.

AJ right now is 5X the player that Davis is at this time.

Got to disagree. Maxiell and Davis paired up early in the season to form quite a pair of frontcourt defenders. Why we did not use that is way beyond me. Part of the problem is that last year, Maxiell was the guy Saunders was trying not to give minutes to. If we bring back Davis, and pair him up with Maxiell again on occasion, it would be a good thing. (With Amir at small forward.)

What does that have to do with this trade?

And this is hatred?

I ignore Amir too. I don't hate the guy. I don't even dislike him. I think he's a long way from being an impact player in any way, though.

The players I dislike, I whine and %%%%% about at the slightest provocation.

Back to the topic, I've never seen Dixon play very good defense, but I have no doubt armygirl and dLev have seen more of him than I.

Can someone help me out here? Even if we reacquire DD...he's not playoff eligible, right?

Forget AJ will never see small forward regardless of what people think or 82games says.

He is a #4 working on becoming a #5.

He has already been an impact player for us like last night.

I don't know what games you have been watching but maybe you and Blakely are buddy buddy.

Right now AJ is a our second best big. That is a fact. Watch and learn.
