Well I guess I don't have to compare Amir to Kwame Brown anymore.

Re: Pistons sign Kwame Brown to Two Year Deal

Diop got the full MLE for however many years he could (5?). There's almost no difference between him and Brown. They're very good defensive centers who give nothing on offense. I'd say we underpaid if anything. Short deal means total flexibility too. Not a "OHMYGOD" type of signing, but it is very solid.

If he gets any touches other than point-blank-no-defenders-around dunks we are going to hate him with a fiery passion by December.

That said, he and Sheed would probably make a good low post defensive team.

His 3.5 points and 3.8 boards per game with Memphis was just too much for Joe D to pass up on.

I see one big problem with Kwame. He wears 54. Maxey and him might have to fight over it.

We have too many bigs, I believe a trade is in the works, so everyone just standby.

Re: Pistons sign Kwame Brown to Two Year Deal

The guy made a boat load of money for doing almost nothing. Now he's cutting salary by half+ to the tune of $4M because no one else wanted him...pretty good gig. You really have to wonder if Joe thought this one out...it should have been a team option. Maybe after paying Darko $4M/year Kwame seems like a bargain to Joe

Re: Pistons sign Kwame Brown to Two Year Deal

Got a backup center. Not bad at all. Probably means that Theo's gone. Getting younger too. And he can spell Sheed on defense, that is if Sheed doesn't get moved.
