$50 million remains on his contract over the next 4 years. Yes, he's been injured in these playoffs, but Stuckey has far exceeded my expectations filling in for him.

I feel the same way. I think it's time for some changes. I really liked what I saw with Stuckey at the helm.

I think CB is a part of the "problem".

I believe a new coach and a new point guard would be beneficial. I'm not sure who you get to coach the team or who you get for CB, but that is what they pay Joe D. for.

I like the idea of moving on.

I don't think he has become expendable. If they thought that, they would not have signed him to that contract. Stuckey definitely gives them a different look, but I don't think it's time to turn over the car keys to him yet. Now, if they can get something decent in return for trading Chauncey, I'm willing to listen.

But assessing C-Note's contribution while he's clearly been hurt is not something Dumars would do.

I wanted to S/T him last summer.

Does he have more value now? Who knows.

Either way starters should be shopped, that includes him.

IMO acquiring Nazr was kind of a knee-jerk reaction by Joe after losing Ben. Webber was a stop-gap solution heading into last years playoffs. This is the last season on Dice's contract and Sheed's contract is expiring next season.

I'd say we need a quality big.

Thats not easy to do.

Ist off I think we should wait to see how this post-season shakes out before selling the team off. If they win then I would say give it one more run next year.

Rebuilding is not easy and its not something to look forward to. I do see a down period after this current core as I just don't see Dumars getting as lucky as he was building up this current team. I mean the odds are against it.

Perhaps seeing how bad the Pistons look with Billups injured shows that CB actually has some value. Irregardless if Billups stays or goes, Stuckey has clearly showed that he belongs at this level. Playing him less than 20 minutes per game next year would not be smart.

Good point, yet I welcome that period of rebuilding.

At least we will know what to expect from the team. Anything more will be a pleasant surprise, and if they do anything less we can all say "well, what did we expect?"

As we all tune in and root for our ping pong ball in the draft lottery.

We might finally get an offensively dominant big man.

I'm well aware of that and haven't been able to come up with any possible trade scenarios yet. I'm hoping Joe can work some of his old magic.

The writing's been on the wall for a long time...last night's performance put the final nail in the coffin IMO. If Flip and the players somehow manage to pull a rabbit out of their butt and get to the Finals, I will gladly eat it.

And I'll get you some A1 for that.
