First round picks should be off limits. If they could get Hickson back, that would be a wash. He is as good as the big man they could get in this draft at #8 yr right.

First round picks should be off limits. we will not lose 50 games next year if we clear out the vets and get rid of Ben Gordon. Hickson would be good in return - equivilent of what the Pistons could draft this year in the first round. Yr right. First round picks should be off limits.

He was the only problem. Ok, well Joe should go too. But, Monroe is an adequate PF, Jerebko and Daye are great smalls, with Stuckey and Rip in the back court, we only need to draft a giant to be playoff bound. Release Gordon and Villanueva (along with the horrible idiot who signed them) and now you have a playoff contender. Who knows what White will do when healthy? So do not go trading picks just to make Dan Gilbert happy. I agree, why blow up the team when we just blew up the coach. He was the only problem. Ok, well Joe should go too.

You trade Hamilton so you can have a fresh start. And if you don't,you're giving yourself another yr-or two-of built in team malfunction. This Draft is pretty evenly deep,full of role players/borderline starters. The chances of getting a solid player are as good at #20,as at #8. Think 2008 Draft where Ibaka,Batum,Hill,Lee are just as good-if not better-than Thompson,Alexander,Bayless,Rush. Your options are more limited,but there will still be players to be found. And if trade done early enough,who's to say the team might not be able to package the #20 and cash or future Second(s) and move up? (For example,if Phoenix guy is taken before their pick,they may find cash a great incentive to move down. They may even consider taking Bynum for their TPE,$3mil,the #20 and a future Second for the #13. They need a back-up PG if Brooks leaves-likely-and after cash,Bynum's salary is only $250thou,much less than a min or rookie min,for a position they need to fill,and they save cash on diff between 13 and 20 rookie salary. Agreed not likely,but the point is teams in low teens may well be willing to trade down.) Laser,

This makes no sense at all...better off taking a chance and seeing what you can get with the 8th pick instead of giving CLE more ammunition in the division.

I don't think Dumars or Darko have the balls to do it, but it would be a great story. Darko would look good next to Monroe. ^^I love BIG MARV’s idea of bringing back Darko with Laimbeer!

If you trade with cleveland for the 4th pick he will be right there for the pistons to get. The players i see in return that you might get in return for rip and the 4th pick would have to be varajeo and mabey either sessions, gibson, or baron davis. with minnesota I would get Jhonny flynn and mabey randolph, dont be suprised if you see a darko return in this deal especially if you guys want Lambeer as coach he would love to bring his pulpil with him and prove to people back in det that he's a legit starer now (scary huh)... but I think cleveland got the best pieces to move if you want players back. ok thats fine I think whats happeing with detroit is that they know they want biymbo and they way the draft is going its no way in hell he’s falling to 8th.
