No he doesn't swing for the fences every time at bat (Rob Deere) but he consistantly tries to help make the team better (Placido or Mags)

Oh please dont use players playing for a team that swings at more balls than any other team in the league.

They are so like Joe. Underacheiving part and all.

I would expect that Joe has a better knowledge of the players he took. Don't forget, Pistons already have an undersized 4 that they like in Maxiell, and they have a project center in Samb. From Joe's perspective there wasn't anyone out there worth taking that could contribute. And I would trust his judgement more than any non-basketball people or sports writers.

Joe tried to hit a homerun with Darko, and White. How did that turn out?

OMG, the sky is falling!!!!
Can't believe Joe passed on not one but two or three future LBJ caliber players!!! This is it!!! No more Pistons for me!!! Don't want this underachieving mediocrity!!!

Have a nice day.

I'm surprised that we haven't heard from lee yet regarding the fact that Curry needs to get Sharpe, Plaisted and Washington more burn.

If any of these guys Meija-like skills they will be in Lee's upcoming rotations.

I think a big trade is coming and I say that because we traded out of the 1st round. My guess is that we will be taking some high salaried players and Joe didn't want to waste even $1 million on a 1st round pick and put the team too much over the luxury tax.

If this is not the case, then I would agree with some of the posters. Why not grab CDR or Walker with the 1st 2nd round pick and Walter with the 2nd pick? However, I can't say much since Joe has been pretty good about finding diamonds in the rough (Amir, Okur, Prince, etc.)

I would also agree with the posters that stated we have enough young guys we are trying to develop. That is probably the most accurate statement I have read in a long time.

It does suck that of all the years to have such a good regular season it had to be this year. I am pretty sure that there were about 20 really good players in the draft (all of which were drafted before we had our pick).

I just read that Meija has been replaced by Dee Brown (Illinois) on the summer league roster due to an ankle sprain.

I'm sure that there will be some 356ish conspiracy theory about how Curry stuck a banana peel under Sammy's foot and we'll all be challenged to link to an article that proves that it didn't happen.
