There would definitely be accountability. Some of the pistons need to be bullied and intimidated! Who's gonna give Laimbeer a bad attitude? The only Piston who could beat up Laimbeer is Ben Wallace. I am sick of watching Tayshaun Prince mope around on the court. If a player on my team jogged up the court with his head down I would peg him in the head with the ball. Hey Dumars! Get rid of the selfish lazy players! This team has enough talent to be much better than their record shows. The bad attitudes are bringing the team way down!

That was well put and on point. Its impossible to move in a positive direction when you have players with bad attitudes in the locker room. Its not hard to tell that Tayshaun and Kwame are not giving 100%. Charlie V. basically plays like a small forward. We have too many of those. Lets get a real Big Man and get rid of some of  these soft lazy wimps. What happened to the killer instinct? Eye of the tiger? Pistons need to take some pride in their team. They are letting alot of people down. I agree with xerowattbulb. That was well put and on point.

Tom Friend's article, <em>The Disposable Superstar, </em>states, "Hamilton is the most affected of all. He has just signed an extension, and he tells Chauncey he wants to be traded now, that <strong>if he'd known they were going to trade Chauncey, he never would've re-upped in Detroit</strong>." Doesn't matter that he signed it afterwards, he was under the impression Billups was staying and was most likely actively negotiating a deal with Dumars under the belief that Chauncey would be here in Detroit.

But the big picture is really that I think Kuester has what it takes to be an above average head coach, given the right situation.  Part of that situation is letting him groom "his own guys," which I think he's done with Jerebko and Daye and even Stuckey.  I think his positive nature really makes a difference with those younger guys.  When you look at these players, you can tell which have bought in and which haven't, and I think it is time to move the guys that haven't:  Prince, Charlie V and Kwame Brown.  We know Ben Wallace has, along with Jerebko, Daye and Stuckey.  It's pretty obvious that Rip would go with it if the bad seeds were gone.  I think Gordon is who he is and will be fine coming off the bench if he's also getting his 18-22 points.  Bynum has proven to me that he's a fine shoot first, penetrating PG and we should ride that wave till it's gone.  Wilcox seems to have shown some glimpses of buying into Kuester. I guess I just don't understand why Dumars can't accept the addition by subtraction rule and move some of these players for either expiring deals or team guys that need a chance, and maybe some draft picks.  He created the great core of the 90s by going and getting guys that were going to buy into the team, he needs to do THAT again.
