Miller4Prez66 545 Report post Posted July 1, 2013 This is called the Black/White fallacy. There is a huge area between "blatantly tanking" and "taking back bad contracts because we're in win now mode". Even if the Pistons signed all three of the players you mentioned, which they almost certainly can't afford to do thanks to the minimum player rules for salary, they'd still be a team without an all-star and without a go-to scorer. They're not making the playoffs with a team built around the second best player on a 6th seed, a 13/5/5 guy, and a gunner who scores at below average efficiency. Eh, it isn't that crazy in the East. Milwaukee won like 37 games last year and got into the playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MagicFanInNevada 51 Report post Posted July 1, 2013 If the Bledsoe/Afflalo trade doesn't go through I'd be okay with bringing in Darren Collison as a stop until we bring in Marcus Smart next season. We're not going to be bad enough to get Wiggins IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

s1n1st3r12 27 Report post Posted July 1, 2013 Are we going to keep Dequan Jones? I mean for some reason it seems like we are keep Moore, I would rather Jones for some explosive drives rather than chuck it from 3 point land. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MagicFanInNevada 51 Report post Posted July 1, 2013 Lol I don't know what's so funny about bringing in Collison. He'd be very cheap and we'd get a capable backup PG. Nelson is always missing games and we currently have no backup for Jameer on the roster. If we want to go a cheaper route we could go Beaubois or Beverly.

jaywdm 8 Report post Posted July 1, 2013 It wasn't the Collison part. Yeah we are gonna be in the bottom 5 next year and that is just as good as any to land him. We got young talent but they all still need a year or two to be ready. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea, I wouldn't mind Beaubois or Beverly if they were to go the cheaper route either. Brian Roberts, who looks like the odd man out in New Orleans, is another guy I like if they go that route.

MagicFanInNevada 51 Report post Posted July 1, 2013 It wasn't the Collison part. I think alot of us are sleeping on our roster. If healthy we're going do be pretty competitive and won't be a bottom 5 team IMO. You're gonna have to get a top 3 pick to get Wiggins and I don't see us getting that high of a pick. I can see us getting a pick somewhere between 6-9. Just my opinion though 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaywdm 8 Report post Posted July 1, 2013 I really think in next years draft there will be four players based on what ive seen from them so far that can immediately turn a team around and that Wiggins, Randle, Parker, and Walker. Looking at their positions makes me think that we need to get a pg via trade or free agent and I'm really looking forward to seeing Lamb, Hark, and Harris shooting from 3 cause thats another area we need to get better at.
