Your a fucking moron if you think the Pistons are anywhere near the same as last year.
Do you even watch basketball? Rasheed hardly even played last year and when he did, he didn’t even try.
Big Difference between Allen Iverson and Ben Gordon: Ben Gordon can SHOOT.
Your in for a huge surprise this year if you think the Pistons are gonna be in the lottery.
This team has the potential to be one of the best offensive teams in the league.

Noe, losing AI is addition by subtraction. So, is losing Michael Curry. Losing Rasheed Wallace might even be, too.

And Gordon is a plus. The main difference between him and AI: Richard Hamilton wants this to work. I never got the impression he felt that way with AI.

Shawn, I can see the Wizards. They have so much talent.

But I don't think the Raptors will be better than Detroit. You're right. Hedo's signing is probably the most overrated of the offseason.

Chicago Fan, I think Gordon was under-appreciated with the Bulls. He delivered the numbers of a franchise player, and he did it efficiently.

He's 26. Ben Wallace was 31 when he signed with Chicago. I don't think this will be the payback you're looking for.

Mike, thanks for the tip. As long as Magloire went after him first, it’s good to see Jerebko stand up for himself.

Gordon always talks(or should I say mumbles) a good game, if total bullshit is your game. Gordon will be our payback for Ben Wallace, one big ben bum for another.

As much as I don’t want to agree with you, you’re right. If this season is going to be anything of worth, Hamilton has to be dealt, Bynum needs to start, and Kwame needs to show up big time.

Are you serious? Do you watch any basketball??
This is the same Pistons club that barely made the playoffs last year. They haven’t made any significant improvements (B. Gordon creates the same issue as last yr with AI, namely, there are only so many minutes at the 2 to be played and Villenueva scores more but rebounds and plays worse D than Sheed).
Take note of what Arenas did this offseason that he did not in past years (namely work with the best trainier in all of basketball, Tim Grover). You may have a point with Toronto, but I suspect that the slow start and mid-season coaching change had as much to do with their decline last year as anything (they were the 4 seed a year earlier).
Good luck to y’all but I think Detroit is back in the lottery and hopefully this time they won’t repeatthe Darko over Melo mistake…

i just thought id let you in on some news from those folks at espn, they picked toronto and washington over the pistons this year as playoff teams!!!!! they cant be serious , while washington always looks good on paper because of arenus , thats exactly what his body is made of when it comes to actually play the game , he plays 20 to 22 games this year tops. as for toronto , so they nabbed aging free agent hedo , so what!!! that still doesnt take care of that teams problems on the defensive end. more proof that these so called “experts” read from cue cards and watch little if any real basketball.

Jonas did smash Jamaal in the face after Jamaal punched him first. There was only one angle that showed it and they only showed it once. It was from the camera on the other end of the floor; not the one they kept showing over and over again. And he got him good. Just lettin’ ya know. That’s why he was ejected and that’s what Tayshuan was talking about.
