I second detroitpcb, "Bad" behavior is an only natural result of perverse incentives.  Stuckey has never had proper coaching in a workable system as a starter, yet has improved every season. All you need to know about him. Also, the Pistons can certainly keep Stuckey, Gordon and Knight together. The albatross that has to go is Hamilton. His height and past achievements are no longer enough to carry is crappy attitude (and his turnover % and shooting % make Gordon seem downright responsible in comparison).

This kid is a dangerous scorer who has improved every year in subtle ways and i couldn't give a rat's ass about his conflicts with Q - anybody who wants to win trapped playing for an incompetent coach is going to have issues. Ben Gordon is the player we need to trade. Too short to guard 2's. Too slow to guard point guards. Bad shot selection. Careless with the ball and turnover prone. Fails to rotate the ball. Get rid of Gordon and give Austin Daye his shots while plugging Knight in at the point to let him grow.

I can't wait till the season starts to see Stuckey/Knight/Gordon play together...I hope Dumars makes a trade for a SF and C!!! Wow, sounds good!
