That would be solid.

You'd probably have to sweeten the deal for them to be into it. Maybe toss Maxiell or Amir in there for scraps.

Total pipedream with Artest/ Bill Davidson though.

Miller had a great season 07-08 after dropping a few pounds.

Sac might wanna move him now

Yea, It's really nice to dream.

Stress fracture in leg
Bone chip in right elbow
3rd strike for failed drug test

Coming off a previous season with a foot injury and weight issues.

He did put up some OK numbers last year though.

Why do you guys want to toss Tay out like yesterday's trash? There is a reason we haven't ever had a great backup for Tay - it's hard to get a great small forward, period, let alone a good backup.

Artest is better then Prince.

I don't consider Tay a 'great' SF...good? yes

edit to add: Worth $10M/year? no. I think Joe let his emotions take over that contract negotiation

As much as I wanna keep believing in Amir's potential...I've been losing faith. food4thot...how many 3 year SL players are making $3.7M a year?

Here's an extended version of the trade I proposed earlier

RealGM: Trade Checker

Sac is sorta over-loaded at 2 & 3 with Martin, Garcia, Salmons & Artest...maybe they'd go for it

miller and artest for sheed and prince works on real GM. I like it.

I'm tired of Sheed's act. Miller ain't great, but he can hit a J and pass, and I would expect him to be more consistent on O than Sheed. On defense, if we get a breakout contribution from Amir, then Miller can be his mediocre self and we still come out ahead. It's iffy, I realize. But...

Artest is WAY BETTER PLAYER than Tay. He's also wildly unpredictable. I think Joe's angle with him is this-- if you come to Detroit and I take a chance on you it is possible for you to be fully redeemed. And the Pistons can be also redeemed, likewise. It's got that good story feel. Joe likes that. So does Stern.

I think Artest is our guy. As crazy as that sounds. I say roll the die.

We probably should be focusing more on the other frontcourt positions as thats where the Pistons need help. So far every credible trade rumor has involved Prince so there must be something to it.
