Joe D.'s interview - Detroit Pistons Fan Community

A suprising interview by the Cleveland blogger (?):

Our First Big Score: An interview with Joe Dumars - The World According to TD

Joe talks a bit of this and that. Some interesting stuff.

Roscoe, Cleveland blogger was able to get Joe's interview. We should at least try something of the same...

Anyone who would like to try and get an opportunity like this, you're welcome to any support I and the forum can give you. But I am not actively out there looking for these opportunities. Been there done that.

Joe D: Yes, I did say that I would be open to making a deal if something was presented that made sense….I did not receive what I thought was a deal that would make us better, so I felt very comfortable with coming back with most of my core and adding more of our young talent to the mix.

In this quote, Is Joe stating that he is not happy with all of his core? That is what I am reading.

TD: You took little known Walter Sharpe out of UAB ahead of some bigger name players like Chris Douglas-Roberts, Mario Chalmers, and DeAndre Jordan. What did you see in Sharpe that others may not have?
Joe D: Once again, its all about fit….You don’t go into the draft with the idea that you’re going to draft big names, its all about finding players that fit your culture on and off the court.

Good job Joe. Two of the names mention got caught with weed. Can that be a reason he skipped on Josh Howard and took Defino instead?

I would pay $1000 to watch Lee interview Joe D.

We could probably raise $1000 for that.

They could put that on pay per view and the various forums would eat it up.

Don't feel bad, unless you can deviate...another poor script read.

I don't feel bad. I've made the right choice.

that interview was a little weak. Pretty cool that Joe took the time to do it though.
