This is officially Joe's Jump the Shark moment.

The only logical reason is the team really missed having a HVC around.
But does this top the Nazr deal?

That was a pretty big stinker and looked like a panic move to me.

Short deal. Not too expensive. But I sort of remember saying about Nazr, "At least its not Kwame"
I'm not very happy about this move.

Re: Pistons sign Kwame Brown to Two Year Deal

This is typical Joe Dumars genius at work. He looks at not the player's over all talent, but what skills does that player have. And he looks at the team not as how much talent it has overall, but what talents, collectively, the team has. Our team lacked a center. Now it does not.

No matter how I tried to come up with a rotation for next season, with what we had, I could not. Now I can. A rotation with all the pieces. Guess what thread I am heading to next.

You're right though, it does fill a need.

Is there a prize for guessing correctly? I won't play unless there's a prize.

Definately fills a need, although is it the need we need... need?
