    What kind of money do you think Roy Hibbert will command?

    I'm sure he will want U.S. currency.

    lol, That's probably good since the US dollar is down in value.

    9 blocks in a playoff game! I think that he blocked big baby 6 times alone. He's a tall man.

    Pacers won't let Hibbert walk. He's key to their current success. Only a GM as dumb as Larry Bird would do such a thing. Oh wait....

    Pffft. Bynum just got 10. These playoffs are starting off real strong!

    I liked George Karl's comment on A. Bynum's 10 blocks: "Nice illegal defense"

    Meh, he needs to get his guys to wear platform heels then. Drew wasn't even jumping on some of those blocks. Poor Faried/Harrington looked like kids standing next to number 17.

    The bidding for Roy Hibbert starts at $10 mil per year.

    No way. That's $1.9M more than Villanueva will make next year...

    I'd much rather have Charlie and Austin Daye, thank you very much.

    If I was an agent, I'd have PDF files of every non-rookie Piston contract saved on my desktop.
    I'd open each and every contract negotiation by citing whatever applicable Piston makes and go from there. I'm pretty confident that with absolutely no experience, I could get a guy like Troy Murphy a 500% pay raise by using Charlie's contract as a bargaining chip.
    Hey Shannon Brown, you looking for financial security? Let me go to work for you by using Rodney Stuckey's contract to help get you 7 million dollars per year!

    Speculation is Prince wants Billups back.
    2012 NBA Free Agents: Tayshaun Prince thinks Pistons should sign veteran PG - Detroit Bad Boys

    I think Chauncey should stay in LAC. They can have something very special going on there.

    I kinda agree with you. If we don't get the big man we need, there could be a decent SF to grab in the draft. Split the minutes with Daye Jerebko.

    A thousand times no. We want to get better, not more injured.

    Tay is such a wise veteran now that he is giving Joe a little help on the GM front. True leadership.
