No matter what your personal feelings are toward the Pistons’ President of Basketball Operations Joe Dumars are, you must respect him. In a world where blame is continuously placed on someone else, President Dumars is a throwback to the old school. He always gives credit to his team for success but quickly accepts blame when the team comes up short. Moreover, he never shies away from the hard questions when it comes to the team’s overall planning and what makes him a true model character in the NBA is the fact that he speaks in clear language that usually leaves no room for ambiguity.

The Detroit Pistons were supposed to play in June again this year. They were the ones predicted to come out of the junior varsity Eastern Conference. And to most everyone’s knowledge they would have given the San Antonio Spurs a much better run than the Cleveland Cavaliers. But a funny thing happened along the way. The funny thing was LeBron James, who did a Dwyane Wade (of last year’s NBA Finals against the Dallas Mavericks) and took them out in six games to send them home to golf and to fish.

If Joe Dumars' public statements are to be believed, then Rasheed Wallace is a fixture in the frontcourt, and DETROIT's chances to return to the glory days of yore are minimal. While it's true that Wallace is the most talented player on the squad, his squirrelly mind-set makes him more often a hindrance than a help. For sure, Wallace played a major role in defeating the Lakers in the 2004 championship series — but it should be remembered that Karl Malone's physical defense rendered Rasheed useless in the first few games. It wasn't until Malone was injured and replaced by the defenseless Luke Walton that Wallace asserted himself.
Dumars has also indicated that Chris Webber will be asked to return. This would be another mistake. Webber showed his true colors (a combination of gray and yellow) in the conference finals. The more touches he gets, the fewer touches Billups and Hamilton wind up with. With Webber demanding the ball, Billups became more of a distributor and was unable to gear up his individual offense when the Pistons sorely needed him to score on his own. If Rasheed and C-Webb must go, Billups must be re-signed, Amir Johnson must start contributing and Jason Maxiell must take the next step in his development. Also, Tayshaun Prince must have the Pistons-Cavs series erased from his memory bank. Plus, Flip Saunders must put more motion in the offense.
